Our Team
Steven Reeder PA-C, MPAS, CAQ-Ortho
I’m Steven Reeder, a certified Physician Associate with over 14 years of focused experience in orthopedic and musculoskeletal medicine. My career has been dedicated to helping patients restore movement, reduce pain, and avoid unnecessary surgery whenever possible.
I founded Elevate Orthopedics to provide a more personalized, modern approach to orthopedic care — one that prioritizes time with patients, precision diagnostics, and evidence-based treatment options tailored to each individual.
Education & Certification
Master of Physician Assistant Studies (MPAS)
NCCPA Certified (PA-C)
Certificate of Added Qualifications in Orthopedics (CAQ-Ortho)
The CAQ-Ortho designation reflects advanced training, experience, and testing specifically in orthopedic medicine — a distinction held by a small percentage of physician assistants nationwide.
Clinical Experience
Over the course of my career, I have evaluated and treated thousands of patients with both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions. My experience includes:
Comprehensive orthopedic evaluations
Fracture care and injury management
Sports-related injuries
Degenerative joint disease
Tendon and ligament disorders
Ultrasound-guided joint and soft tissue injections
Corticosteroid, hyaluronic acid, and regenerative therapies
Collaborative surgical care alongside orthopedic surgeons
This depth of experience allows me to confidently manage complex cases while recognizing when surgical consultation is appropriate.
Special Interest in Regenerative & Non-Surgical Orthopedics
As musculoskeletal medicine evolves, so should treatment strategies. I have developed particular expertise in ultrasound-guided injections and regenerative approaches aimed at improving function and promoting healing.
Our goal is to integrate the best available evidence with clinical experience to help patients recover faster and return to the activities that matter most.
Outside the Clinic
Outside of medicine, I value time with my family and staying active - including skiing, water sports, fishing, mountain biking, camping, woodworking/carpentry and tennis. I understand firsthand how important mobility and strength are to quality of life — which is why I’m passionate about helping others maintain theirs.
*Our team will be growing. Stay Tuned!
