Dr. Tim Partridge began his tenure as the Head Team Physician for all of Northern Arizona University's athletic teams in May 2021.  

He is a Primary Care Sports Medicine physician, with his primary specialty being in Family Medicine, and subspecializing in Sports Medicine.  His background allows him to manage just about any condition that an athlete might encounter, from orthopedic injuries to mental health concerns.  He also has extensive experience in procedures that can help athletes recover from injury.  

He splits his time between NAU and Northern Arizona Healthcare's Orthopedic & Spine Institute. Prior to coming to Flagstaff, he practiced in a similar role in Vermont, and throughout his varied career has been part of the care team for numerous collegiate programs, NFL and MLB teams, branches of the U.S. Military, professional skiers and mountain bikers, and everything in between.

Dr. Partridge played collegiate basketball, and still enjoys playing competitively in his free time. He spends every other free minute with his wife and kids, and you can find his three children roaming the sidelines at nearly every home NAU competition, regardless of sport.  As a family, they enjoy all things outdoors, including hiking, backpacking, skiing, and biking.
