Dr. Kyle Stephenson is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist focused on joint preservation, regenerative orthopedics, and advanced musculoskeletal care. With elite-level experience as Assistant Team Physician for the Boston Celtics and Team Physician for Harvard University Athletics, Dr. Stephenson brings professional-grade orthopedic expertise to every patient who walks into his clinic.

His philosophy is direct: cutting-edge orthopedic care should not be reserved for professional athletes — it should be accessible to everyone seeking mobility, performance, and pain relief.

Dr. Stephenson treats a wide spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions, including:

• Bone-on-bone arthritis and degenerative joint disease
• Ligament tears (ACL, MCL, rotator cuff, and more)
• Cartilage injuries and joint instability
• Overuse injuries and sports-related trauma
• Chronic joint and musculoskeletal pain

He prioritizes joint-preserving strategies that reduce or eliminate the need for early joint replacement whenever clinically possible.

Dr. Stephenson completed his medical training through Tufts University, followed by advanced fellowship training in the Sports Medicine Fellowship at New England Baptist Hospital — one of the most competitive sports medicine fellowships in the country, providing direct surgical and non-surgical coverage of the Boston Celtics, Harvard University Athletics, Tufts University, and Northeastern University. He gained additional clinical experience at Boston Children's Hospital.

Working with Harvard Athletics and the Boston Celtics gave him direct exposure to complex, high-performance injuries that demand precision diagnostics, accelerated recovery timelines, and advanced rehabilitation protocols. That experience shaped his multidisciplinary, recovery-focused treatment philosophy.

• Minimally invasive orthopedic procedures
