Phil Veatch, PA-C

Due to a shoulder injury that required surgery, Phil shifted his focus to teaching physical therapy technology before pursuing his Master's Degree in Physician Assistant Studies from Arizona School of Health Sciences at AT Still University. After completing his medical training, he received specialty training in orthopedic spine surgery and served as an Orthopedic Spine Surgery First Assist for nine months, participating in over 100 revision spine surgery procedures.

Phil's passion for procedural medicine led him to take a position at a local level 1 trauma center ER, where he honed his skills in office-based interventional procedures and diagnostic skills while serving over 10,000 patients. He then took a position as the sole medical provider in a large integrated physical medicine office, where he managed diagnosis, medications, referrals, physical therapy, imaging, and office-based procedures, working alongside interventional spine physicians, pain management specialists, orthopedics and chiropractic providers.

In 2020, Phil became a founding member and Chief Operating Officer of another sports and performance medicine start-up practice, leading the development of medical operations and building the practice from its inception to full establishment by the end of 2022. He then established Arizona Sports Medicine to continue advancing ultrasound-driven musculoskeletal diagnostics and in-office regenerative medical procedures, as well as to manage pain through cutting-edge medical methods and a bio-psycho-social approach to injury.

In his free time, Phil is an avid paintball athlete, having formed two professional paintball teams, one of which still competes on the pro circuit. He also founded a pest control specialty company after his 1-year-old son experienced a severe anaphylactic reaction from a scorpion sting. The company specializes in public health and safety, offering full pest management services with an emphasis on integrative pest management methods. Phil has a son and a daughter and is an active participant in Spartan races, traveling the country to compete in the grueling Trifecta series each year.
