Meet Stephen McCarthy, PA-C

Stephen McCarthy is a board-certified Physician Assistant with extensive experience in internal medicine, urgent care, and lifestyle medicine. He founded Lehigh Valley Wellness to provide the kind of detailed, attentive care that is often missing in today's rushed healthcare system.

After years of working in traditional healthcare settings, Stephen recognized that many patients—especially those struggling with weight management and hormonal imbalances—needed more time, more personalized attention, and a provider willing to dig deeper into the root causes of their health challenges.

"My goal is to listen to your story, understand your unique physiology, and partner with you to achieve sustainable health improvements. I believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms."

Education & Training

  • Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies
  • Board Certified by NCCPA (National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants)
  • Licensed in Pennsylvania and Utah
  • Specialized training in obesity medicine and hormone optimization

Philosophy of Care

Stephen believes that sustainable health improvements come from understanding each patient's unique biology, lifestyle, and goals. He takes the time to explain the "why" behind treatment recommendations and empowers patients to become active participants in their health journey.

At Lehigh Valley Wellness, you won't find a one-size-fits-all approach. Every treatment plan is tailored to your specific needs, with ongoing adjustments based on your progress and feedback.
