LAS VEGAS - nvtip -- Dr. Michael Crovetti, DO, is pleased to announce that Steven W.A. Gonsalves, MD has joined the surgical team at Crovetti Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine.

He completed his Orthopaedic Surgery Residency at the University of Arizona in Tucson, followed by a Hedley Fellowship in Orthopaedic Surgery at the Orthopaedic Institute of the West in Scottsdale, Arizona. Most recently, Dr. Gonsalves practiced at University Orthopaedic Specialists/Banner University Medical Center in Tucson, focusing on Adult Reconstruction and Hip & Knee Replacement surgery.

Dr. Gonsalves's move to Crovetti Orthopaedics came down to both career and family. "My wife is a veterinarian, and after building a very successful emergency veterinary group in Tucson, she was asked to replicate that model in Nevada," he says. "She made the move about a year ago with our two daughters, and since I was commuting, I knew it was only a matter of time before I joined them. Next, my wife saw a job opportunity at Crovetti at the same time one of my mentors independently suggested I look into the practice. That was enough to get me talking with them."

"From there, things moved fast. I quickly saw that Dr. Crovetti shares my values around patient commitment and how medicine should be practiced. After about two weeks of meeting with him and shadowing his work in the practice and in surgery, I knew this was the right decision," he continues.

Throughout his training, Dr. Gonsalves has earned recognition both for his surgical skill and leadership – being named Chief Resident and receiving Future Leader honors. More important to his patients is the compassion and composure he provides.

At JABSOM, he received the Aloha Award, given to the student who over the years best embodies the Aloha Spirit, and the "Aequanimitas No'ono'o Award" given to the student who best approaches difficult situations with calm, thoughtful humanity.

As a Hawaii native, that spirit comes naturally. "First and foremost, I take care of people. Patients come to me because they're in pain, and I've worked hard not just to be skilled and knowledgeable, but to pair that with real personal care for them and their situation," Dr. Gonsalves says. "Knowing patients feel heard, and that I genuinely want the best for them, builds the trust that successful outcomes depend on. I believe that people from every walk of life deserve the same respect, and that's what I provide."

According to Dr. Michael Crovetti, "Dr. Gonsalves is a perfect fit for our team at Crovetti Ortho. He's experienced in his field, including complex and difficult surgeries, and his warm, approachable manner helps him build strong bonds with his patients. To him, success is measured by his patients' health and recovery – and that's the foundation this practice is built on. We're thrilled to have him join us."
