Phillip Stevenson is a board-certified Physician Assistant. At eleven years
old his interest in medicine was piqued when a bike accident led to a
left arm cast. While his early youth was spent in Murray, UT, he ended
up in Cache Valley graduating from Sky View High School, with Dr.
Maughan. At this time, his heart’s desire was to serve a mission for his
church and then go into the medical field. The first was accomplished
as he served in Argentina, Bahia Blanca, speaking Spanish. The second
began at Utah State University where he graduated not only with a
degree in Exercise Science, but also with a wife and baby boy. Medical
training occurred at Midwestern University in Glendale, AZ. This training
included the guided delivery of his baby girl. A year later, in 2008, he
graduated with a Master of Medical Science with an emphasis in
education. During school he was on the American Association of
Physician Assistants Student House of Delegates. At graduation he was
honored, by his class, in receiving the Distinguished Service Leadership
Award.
Fresh from graduate school Phillip moved his family of 4, to rural Idaho,
to practice Family Medicine. There he practiced a large variety of
medical skills which included identifying and treating skin issues. After
5 years of family practice, another child and one on the way, Phil’s focus
changed to orthopedics. For 11 years he guided an orthopedic spine
surgeon in Twin Falls, ID. He assisted in intricate surgeries and was
responsible for thousands of incision closures. When Dr. Maughan
inquired if Phillip would help expand his practice, to reach more of
Cache Valleys residents, he was thrilled. The desire to move his family,
now of 7, to the beautiful valley he had enjoyed as a teen, to be next to
extended family, and to serve the residents of Cache Valley was
undeniable. Working in dermatology has been a desire for Phillip and
he feels blessed to work with Dr. Maughan.
When not working, Phil soaks up every minute he gets with his
children, especially since his children say he is way cooler than his wife.
His kids are constantly on the watch for when dad gets home so they
can share time together. He sincerely missed the fly fishing, hiking and
camping in northern Utah, that occupied his time as a teen, and desires
to show his children the best fishing spots. Phil can always be found
studying a variety of subjects to gain knowledge to serve any who
crosses his path.
