Biography
Steven is a seasoned Physician Assistant with more than 15 years of combined experience in emergency medicine and complex spine surgery. He currently practices at OrthoCarolina’s Spine Center, where he specializes in deformative spine and trauma alongside Dr. Anthony Kwon. As a fellowship faculty member, Steven is passionate about mentoring the next generation of PAs in both the clinic and operating room, with a focus on developing strong clinical judgment and procedural confidence.
Originally from Upstate New York, Steven’s career has taken him across the country—from Miami to San Diego to Boston—before settling in Charlotte. He began his healthcare journey as an Emergency Department Technician at a unique PA-led hospital on the St. Lawrence River. In addition to his clinical work, Steven became a Certified Residential Electrician during the COVID-19 pandemic. Outside the hospital, he and his wife unwind with weekend gaming sessions of Call of Duty.
