Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Superb personal skills. Very attentive
Obviously orthopedic skill set with the training and years of experience but what sets him way above other orthos is his interactive personal competence. Best I have ever seen in any speciality. It would be great if he was in a teaching position at or in some residency program

Despite problems with the computer system shutting down as he entered the room, Dr. Stewart continued the consultation, & on the second try was able to access my case. He is efficient yet always caring & thorough.

Thanks for giving me hope
I can not begin to show my gratitude for what Dr. Stewart can accomplish. He is VERY passionate about his profession. I was able to avoid a surgery (which could have ended my profession) by switching to him. His alternate approaches will enable to me return back to sports and working out. THANK YOU SO MUCH for everything - especially your care and gentle hands.

Doctor Stewart is an outstanding surgeon and physician. Totally professional and extremely personal. He explained all my options in great detail. He even took the time to draw out the procedures to me. I continuously recommend Doctor Stewart to my friends, family, and associates. I trust Doctor Stewart emphatically. While Doctor Stewart specializes in foot and ankle surgical procedures, I trust him so much I had him complete surgery on my shoulder (rotator cuff tear and bicep tendon repair) and the results were outstanding.

Meeting with Dr. Steward was very informative
Dr. Steward took time to explain my foot issue in terms I could understand and what my options were. He took plenty of time to address all of my questions and concerns. I left his office feeling he had heard my concerns fully and had answered all my questions.

Fantastic Surgeon!!!
Dr. Stewart is a phenomenal surgeon, and person! Jordan-Young are lucky to have him with their practice. I have followed Dr. Stewart to every practice he’s been with and will continue to do so as he is, not only an outstanding person, an outstanding surgeon!! Having known him more than 15 years, performing surgeries for several of our athlete children, we have had nothing but outstanding experiences with him! When it ended up being “my turn”, for surgery required, I had no hesitation in knowing that he would be the surgeon I chose.

Extremely thorough and helpful!
I was seen by Dr. Stewart as well as his Physician's Assistant. They spent a lot of time with me explaining my various options regarding a toe problem I was having. Dr. Stewart took the time to hear about all my previous surgeries and issues. They took current x-rays as well as looking at my past medical history. This was a second opinion, and he came up with a viable solution that my previous foot doctor had not considered. I was extremely pleased with the Jordan-Young institute. Everyone was professional and pleasant.

Dr. Stewart spent a lot of time reviewing my MRI images with me, and explaining and interpreting the report. He gave me several treatment options, and took a very conservative approach. I would highly recommend Dr. Stewart.
