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.

Thorough and efficient!
I was greeted by Dr Stuart’s staff on time, in fact a bit early. Dr. Stuart did not make me wait very long before coming to the exam room. He answered all of my questions thoroughly and did not make me feel like they were dumb or a waste of his time. I really appreciated that he valued my concerns as valid.

Great ortho doctor
The doctor makes you feel at ease with your issue (carpal tunnel in both hands). He explained what causes the numbness and tingling and the procedure is for surgery. He never rushed me during my office visit or making a decision to have surgery. ALWAYS friendly and ON TIME!!

Positive outcomes from two surgeries and other procedures. Explains things in layman’s terms, explains the risks, and benefits and lets me decide approach. Really couldn’t ask for anything more from a sawbones.

Professional, candid about treatment options, and engages with the patient. He’s been treating me for a wrist condition for 3+ years that eventually will require surgery, which I will have him perform.

Interactive Discussions
Dr. Stuart has performed surgery three times on my hands - two carpel tunnel and two trigger finger releases. Each time I felt we had a open discussion about my preferences for the surgeries and type of anesthesia which guided him in best meeting my needs. I had excellent results and minimal pain from the surgeries.
