ABOUT STEPHANIE HURD PA-C

I am a board-certified Physician Assistant. As a dedicated physician assistant in Arizona, I obtained my Bachelor of Science degree in Physiology from The University of Arizona in Tucson and attended A.T. Still University in Mesa, where I graduated in 2011 with my master’s degree in physician assistant studies. I am nationally certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA) and licensed by the Arizona Regulatory Board. I have worked in several specialties over the years, including OB/GYN, aesthetics, internal medicine, and pain management, but have found my home and passion in orthopedic spine surgery with Dr. Bedi and Dr. Singh. I am also excited to announce the start-up of our bone health clinic. I plan to evaluate and treat patients with osteopenia and osteoporosis to maximize surgical outcomes and fracture prevention. I love our team at Camelback Spine Care because we are dedicated to providing excellent, compassionate care to our patients to improve their quality of life!

In my spare time, I enjoy being outdoors, listening to music, and spending time with my family and friends.
