Verified patient
I saw Dr. Stewart for an annual physical and I loved her nurse and her dog! However, my visit with Dr. Stewart herself was less fantastic. She is super sweet and very friendly, however she is very forgetful. I was asked the same questions multiple times, and every time she did not realize she had already asked me and heard the same answer. She also checked my ears, eyes, and throat twice. It just did not seem like she was in the right state of mind to be providing medical care. Any issue I brought up (headaches, GI issues, attention issues), rather than providing medicinal advice she told me exercising would fix the issue. I will definitely continue looking for a PCP.
Lovely person and knowledgeable , very caring.

Verified patient
Dr Stewart and all staff were great. Professional yet relaxed and welcoming. The care was excellent. I felt that they really care about each individual patient. I was in the office a long time, as they paid attention to all details. Maybe not ideal if you are in a hurry.
Verified patient
She was wonderful! She makes a point of ensuring that she addresses any issue that you might have. Unfortunately, I was mostly there for a required physical but if anyone is looking for a physician who is willing to take the time to address any concerns you might have, Dr. Stewart is a wonderful place to start!
Verified patient
Dr. Stewart is extremely kind, personable, and knowledgeable. This was my first visit with her and I know I will be going back.
Barbara was kind until she asked a question regarding my sexual orientation. She's lucky I didn't file malpractice for the way she handled the rest of our appointment.
Dr. Stewart and the medical team were so compassionate and caring. I felt I was in safe, competent hands the whole time, and I was awed by their commitment to helping me receive the best possible care. Thank you!!

I had been looking for a doctor for awhile when I came across Dr.Stewart. So happy I found her practice. The staff is wonderful and on top of things. The whole team really cares.
Verified patient
Dr Stewart was great - very thorough.
Compassionate and thorough.
Overall I thought the Doctor was wonderful, experienced and knowledgeable. My overall experience was not good. If you are in a rush, this may not be the right place for you. I came to the doctor on my lunch break. I was seen right away, but I opted to be seen with a medical student first. This is a mistake if you are pressed for time. 45 minutes of my appointment was getting information they could have gotten from my previous doctor. I don't think this is the right fit for me, since I do not have a lot of time. That being said, I really liked the doctor, I personally cannot spend 1.5 hours to get a physical exam.
Dr Stewart and her staff were very kind and made me feel very comfortable. I received full examination and recommendation in the most professional way.
My first and second visits were both made pleasant by the office staff and by Dr. Stewart. Very professional and very pleasant, took plenty of time to answer any questions. I also enjoyed the office puppy. More doctors should have one.

Great doctor, nurse, and staff!

She is great! She took the time to explain everything to me and made me feel comfortable. I went in for my first pap smear and she was very good at dealing with my nerves and normalizing the process.
Dr. Barbara is a very kind lady. I had my first ever pap smear and she made me feel very comfortable throughout. She took the time to listen to my history and genuinely cared about what I discussed with her. I highly recommend her!
Absolutely outstanding physician, extremely knowledgeable and professional. Dr. Stewart was thorough and took great care to explain all that was entailed in my visit. Also, kudos to the rest of the staff for also being skilled, professional, and just so nice! Best visit to a doctor's office I've ever experienced.
Verified patient
I waited in the exam room for over 45 minutes after already having my appointment rescheduled because she was running late on the day I was originally supposed to have the appointment. The assistant took my vitals incorrectly and that doctor had to re-do them in order to get accurate readings. I was supposed to go in for a check-up and I was there for over 2 hours.
she was great-very caring and understanding
