Amy Knighton, MMS, PA-C is a Physician Assistant with Dr. William Stevens and specializes in spine surgery and pain management with an interest in health and wellness.
She received her bachelor’s degree in Human Biology and Exercise Science at Grand Canyon University, and then went on to earn her master’s in Medical Science and Physician Assistant Studies at A.T. Still University. Amy has spent her entire career in spine surgery and pain management and believes that when assessing patients for potential spine surgery, it’s imperative to consider all the factors that may be generating pain. She believes that surgery may not always be the best solution and that often with lifestyle modifications, pain can be improved.
In practice with Dr. Stevens, Amy sees and treats a wide range of patients from teenagers with scoliosis requiring reconstructive surgery to the professional athlete requiring a lumbar discectomy to an elderly patient who needs a spinal decompression and everyone in between. Her goal is to get patients back to living their best life as quickly as possible with or without surgery.
Outside of her work, Amy enjoys reading and exercising through hiking, running, yoga and lifting weights. She spends time with her three athletic kids and husband who keep her very busy as she is involved in the Arcadia Little League. Amy also has two boxers and loves them dearly.
Amy’s Patient Philosophy
“I try to treat my patients as I want my family to be treated. I do my best to evaluate all potential areas that may be contributing to their pain and disability and make suggestions on how to improve their situation. Spine surgery and prescribed medications are often required, but getting our patients to be in their best physical and mental state significantly improves their quality of life and surgical recovery.”

Great,very informative and helpful
Lacks empathy and human kindness with patient. In my experience with her, it can be said that she treated me agresiva.
I recently had a 6 month follow up with Amy. From the moment Amy walked into my exam room it was evident that she was genuinely interested in how I was doing. As Amy has told me in the past, this is the one place where as a patient I can be totally honest and tell her how I am really doing and holding up. It takes a skillful, caring clinician to deal with these potentially life altering spinal deformities on a daily basis. Amy is a wonderful listener and then takes that information to incorporate it into her physical exam, clinical findings and subsequent recommendations. I have 100% faith in both Amy and Dr. Stevens to monitor my condition, alert me to any potential serious changes and to carefully weigh the risks vs benefits whether or not corrective spinal surgery is in my best interests. I believe with every patient both Amy and Dr. Stevens believe in "First Do No Harm." Dr. Stevens also took the time to come in to see how I am doing. I am blessed and fortunate to have the best!
