Orthopaedic Surgery
Our board-certified surgeons specialize in advanced procedures for bone, joint, and muscle conditions. We offer both traditional and minimally invasive techniques for fractures, arthritis, sports injuries, and congenital disorders. Patients benefit from pre/post-surgical rehabilitation programs and direct access to specialists for optimal recovery outcomes.
Physical Therapy
Licensed therapists provide individualized programs for orthopaedic recovery, including sports medicine, spine care, and hand therapy. Services include aquatic therapy, dry needling, and work-hardening programs. With six locations and extended hours, we ensure convenient access to evidence-based rehabilitation techniques and state-of-the-art equipment.
Diagnostic Imaging
Onsite digital X-ray, MRI, and CT scan capabilities enable rapid diagnosis of musculoskeletal conditions. Our technology supports precise treatment planning for fractures, soft tissue injuries, and degenerative diseases. Patients avoid delays by receiving imaging services at all clinical locations during regular business hours.
Sports Medicine
Comprehensive care for athletes includes injury prevention, concussion management, and performance optimization. Certified athletic trainers provide sideline support, while specialists treat sports-related fractures, ligament tears, and overuse conditions. Programs integrate physical therapy and return-to-play protocols for all skill levels.

Everyone there from start to finish was curious and very friendly and helpful. Was examined by Miss Kim. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend the Dr.s at TOI.

Dr. Petrow and Dr. Stevens are phenomenal doctors and I highly recommend both. Both are extremely attentive, thoughtful, and interested in helping their patients become pain free

Dr. Steven's and crew did an amazing job with surgery and pain management. Although my wife's fracture was serious the surgery was quick and Dr. Steven's called me as soon as it was over and informed me of the details and success. My wife and I greatly appreciate Dr. Steven's honesty and assurance that all would be well. Great job Tucson Orthopaedic Institute!

This is Lynn Otte. I saw Kimberly for my first visit, and was very happy with her. She was friendly, caring, knowledgable, and professional. I felt very comfortable with her, and she put me at ease. I'd give her 10 stars if I could!

With a severe /painful case of Plantar Fascists I was able to get a rather quick appmt with Amy Irwin NP. She was super professional explaining every reason for my condition & the solutions. Rec'd a shot in area of pain & felt 95% better the next day. Should be 100% by weeks end. Amy deserves an Employer Of The Week award.

Love my doctor but don't like the fact I drove all the way from Sierra Vista to an appointment I arrived 30 minutes early to that got canceled that morning and couldn't get me in to see a different doctor. Waited over a month to make this appointment. Very disappointed in their poor way of handling things. Spent a lot of money on gas for nothing.

A.k.a. Curtis Schwend. I went to Tucson Ortho because I injured my arm and needed help. I got off to a rocky start with the first doctors I saw and I wasn't happy about it. Big thank you to Kate Cullen, director of operations for seeing there was an issue and handling it quickly, well done! She set me up with the outstanding surgical team of Dr. Chris Stevens and NP Nora Sanchez, they were kind, respectful, and did a great job with my reconstructive arm surgery. I just finished with physical therapy and am now done at Tucson Ortho and my arm works!
