When I would try to explain stuff to her, she pretty much put me down as a parent of why I'm still allowing my child to do this, but only reason why I'm letting my child do the things that she wants to do in her foot still hurt is because the doctors cannot find anything wrong with her. She was not very sympathetic or very heart, failing towards my daughter and her pain and her being upset because again they have nothing but saying there's nothing wrong. I feel like she needs to be on a little bit better bedside manners.

Honestly, I was blown away by Dr. Stewart's kindness and overall demeanor of "knowledge meets humility." I should not be blown away (all doctors should have her bedside manner), but I told multiple people about her after that appointment. With kids, you either feel like you went to an appointment at the hospital unnecessarily, or you waited too long to address something serious. I was somewhere in between, but that did not stop her from being thorough and gentle in tone. She never belittled me or made me feel beneath her as a parent. She performed a long physical exam to test my son's mobility, even though he was feeling pretty good and was mostly healed up anyway. She then went over portions of his x-ray that honestly didn't matter in the grand scheme of things, but she did it to assure me that nothing serious is going on. It was the most thorough and kind "a little Advil will fix this" appointment I've ever been to. If any of my five kids have ortho issues in the future, I will 100% be requesting her.

This appointment was a waste of our time and I was referred back to a pediatrician when I believe orders could have been made with this doctor.

Dr. Steward was very nice and professional. My child trusts her and likes her. We wouldn't want any other orthopedic doctor.
