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.

Amazing
Dr. Stuart has been working with me for a little under two years now. He fully reconstructed both of my legs and has allowed me to go back to full activity. I am forever grateful for the amazing experience Dr. Stuart has allowed me to have. When working with Dr. Stuart he treats you as a friend not as a patient, although he probably sees over 30 people a day and only sees us once a month he still acts like he sees me everyday and knows my dogs middle name. I absolutely adore Dr. Stuart.

I met with Dr. Stuart this spring to seek a second opinion on knee treatment. I had been following a conservative treatment approach to a lingering knee injury that had robbed me of my active lifestyle. Dr. Stuart demonstrated excellent knowledge of my pre and post-accident condition and clearly stated my alternatives. He was very straightforward and easy to understand. I elected to transfer care to him and agreed to a partial knee replacement. He also allowed me to become as active as I could tolerate prior to surgery, which basically set me free from what had been a downward spiral. Surgery went like clockwork, and I was provided with excellent guidance from Dr. Stuart and his staff on post-surgery activities. I am making a good recovery and am optimistic about returning to an active lifestyle.

Dr. Stuart is the very best of the best when it comes to surgeons. I saw him for a 2nd opinion post 2 previous surgeries to remove an infection in my knee and not being able to walk without excruciating pain. He scheduled me within days for a partial knee to remove the infection that had attacked my bone because it was not totally removed. I was told by previous Dr. that 6 weeks of infusion treatment was all I could have. The Mayo infusion team proved that was false. I had 6 more weeks of infusion therapy followed by a total knee. Dr. Stuart is meticulous, thorough, kind and approachable with questions and concerns. He is a gifted surgeon with a notable bedside manner. I am walking and have resumed most of my usual activities pain free after 3 months. I would not have this positive outcome without Dr. Stuart’s expertise. He was heaven sent and I am so blessed. Dr Stuart is praised by his peers and patients and he deserves to be! Forever grateful!

This Place is amazing. Everyone was very helpful. Dr. Stuart spent time explaining everything CLEARLY to me and was very caring. There wasn't much that could be done with my knees but he did what he could in giving me shots in the knee area to relieve some of the pain. He is a great Dr.
