Dr. Kendall Stewart, DAT, ATC

Kendall is originally from San Diego but has moved around since that time, discovering what seasons really were at stops in Michigan, Washington, and Pennsylvania before arriving in Arizona in 2018. Kendall lives with his wife Holly and daughters Rylie and Abigail in Chandler and prefers to shovel sunshine over snow.

He played soccer and baseball through the end of high school and continues to be active today, mostly in weightlifting and running. His passion for sports medicine is rooted in the desire to know how people fit together and how to make a difference in the lives of others regardless of sport or level. My approach to medicine centers around collaboration and communication. The best way to achieve results is in partnership with the patient and provider to take history, likes/dislikes and all other factors into consideration when crafting a treatment plan.
