Where do I start? I had seen Dr. Marshall, about a year and a half ago for an ingrown toenail. She did the quick procedure in her office on that day. That evening, I was in severe pain. The pain was so pain that painkillers did not help! I called the next morning and asked to be seen ASAP! They staff squeezed me in. When I saw Dr. Marshall, she asked what was wrong, and I told her something didn't feel right, I'm in excruciating pain! She looked at my toe and said, that's just tissue trying to heal. If you want, I can take a closer look. I said yes, please, because this pain is unbearable. Before I knew it, she had a tool in her hand and dug it right into the wound to feel around. I practically jumped out of the seat. I was angry, upset, and extremely disappointed! When I got home, I called another podiatrist for a second opinion. When I went in for a 2nd opinion, Dr. Walker looked and told me there's a small piece of nail still in there. I had to have another procedure to have it taken out. Due to Dr. Marshall not fully taking out that section of nail and having the process done again... it never grew back normal. Now, I'm going in tomorrow to get that part of my toenail chemically killed off, so I will not have any more problems. So, after that incident, no I do not recommend this office at all! read more

Wow. We are impressed. My daughter and I are that is. Long story short here: my daughter has had a "boo boo" (for lack of a better word) on her foot for weeks now. It has caused her pain to walk and due to this I made an appointment with our regular GP. We are Kaiser refugees and since I know how to work that system and not our new insurance system, I didn't know that I could have skipped our GP all together and took her straight to the podiatrist. Anyway, saw the GP, GP was useless. Couldn't tell what it was w/ her foot. The gave me the number for Dr. Stewart. Dr. Stewart's office is in the same Dr. complex, so I walked in (daughter in tow) to make an appointment. They were able to take her straight away. Dr. Stewart made it a point to connect with her. To put her at ease. Asked her questions. Joked with her, and lo and behold was able to diagnose her issue easily. The office staff was super professional and competent, and Dr. Stewart was so good that my daughter said she wished he could be her "everything" doctor. Whew, what a relief to have found this specialist office! read more

Since I just recently moved to the area, I found Dr. Stewart while searching online and chose to see him based on the generally good reviews. Although he was pleasant and answered questions, he didn't really do much; his nurse took x-rays and he reviewed them with me. He didn't have a diagnosis, suggestions on what was wrong, or how to treat it. He just advised to avoid high impact activities and come back in a month if I still had pain. I'm glad I continued to search for answers elsewhere. After asking many people (both in and out of the medical profession), it was my chiropractor who was able to diagnose capsulitis - which is a degenerative condition if less untreated. I'm going through a painful regimen right now but at least I'm taking steps to prevent possible surgery in the future. So yes, he's a pleasant person but leaves much to be desired as a physician. read more

Dr. Stewart simply doesn't take the time to thoroughly investigate his patient's situation. He spent a few seconds looking at the orthotics I had but didn't ask crucial questions about the problems I was having with them. He is on a rigid time schedule which takes priority over his patients. He literally walked out of the office when I was in the middle of a sentence! He wouldn't talk to me anymore about the orthotics so I had to keep questioning his staff to obtain the information I needed. He referred me to a terrible physical therapist below his office. He said sometimes PT make the condition I had worse. So why did he refer me to the PT? The physical therapy created severe pain. I recommend you see a medical doctor orthopedic foot specialist. read more

All I can say is, Dr. Stewart and his entire staff are truly the best. I had foot surgery six weeks ago. I had no idea what to expect, but they are the most attentive, kind, and genuine people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Questions, concerns, phone calls - everyone takes these very seriously and responds in a timely manner. I've experienced some unexpected issues and I have found Dr. Stewart to be amazing. He listens attentively and no question or concern is taken lightly. When calling the answering service, he's on the phone and dealing with the situation immediately. Prior to my surgery, I saw four different doctors in the past six years to evaluate and determine my foot challenges and then research with each the eventual bunion, hammertoe and neuroma surgery. I made the right decision by selecting Dr. Stewart for my surgeon. I highly recommend him and his competent and kind staff. read more

Love, love, love Dr. Stewart and his staff! He has been my podiatrist for 9 years, he did a surgery on my ankle that healed amazingly in 2006.... I have been back to see him for minor things since and love his conservative approach and funny, professional character. He has also treated my mom and done a surgery on her ankle that had an awesome recovery. I recommend dr. Stewart and his staff. Like others have said he doesn't just jump straight to surgery, he will try more conservative approaches first, if all else fails he will then suggest what the next approach would be! Not alot of doctors do this anymore.... read more

My GP referred me to Dr Stewart after a foot/ankle injury. I am so impressed with his caring, professional, and friendly approach. Through my appointments, I was never rushed. He took the time to explain in detail the progress on my X-Rays. He consistently asked if I had any questions. He explained what I could and could not do at the gym and the reason why. As stated, the office staff is friendly and the humorous banter between them and Dr. Stewart is refreshing. Nice to encounter people who are happy at work. All service providers appreciate feedback and I hope that those who do not have a positive experience will share that directly with that provider. How else can they become aware and improve? I look forward to my appointments, and believe me, that's the first time I have ever said that about medical care! I have, and certainly will, recommend Dr. Stewart to others. He is an exceptional Doctor. read more

I have seen seen Dr. Stewart over a span of about 15 years for periodic sport injuries involving my feet. I have found him to be thorough, professional, practical in his treatment protocol, and a very caring person who sincerely does his very best to understand and help his patients. He is also of the highest integrity in a segment of the medical profession where there are some players that would rather sell you on the need for surgery or a laser toenail fungus program, rather than medically treat your condition in a logical, conservative manner. The professionalism and competence of Dr. Stewart is also reflected in his staff. It is a very well-run office with a friendly, polite, and competent team. read more

My kids love Dr. Stewart! His bedside manner is fantastic and his work is meticulous. My husband passed down his ingrown toe nail condition to both kids and they have both had the "permanent solution" performed by Dr. Stewart. No fuss, no muss. In and out of the office in 45 minutes with minimal pain. My kids would complain if there was pain! Also, I have never witnessed my daughter have more fun with a doctor in her life. I can't say enough about Dr. Stewart. read more

I saw Dr. Stewart for a broken large toe that I sustained during a soccer injury that didn't seem to be healing. He was courteous, straight forward with his explanation of preferred treatment, and he also took into account the demands of my lifestyle when deciding how to effectively treat it with the least amount of impact on my sports. The injury healed nicely, and I was back on the field in no time! He is a great physician and I have recommended many people to him over the years. read more

both my daughters have an issue with ingrown toe nails. If you have ever had one, they are painful! Of course they never tell me until they are infected and a mess! Dr. Stewart and his staff are wonderful! The girls love him and he is very accommodating in trying to get them in quickly when they have flair ups. I would absolutely recommend him!! read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Stewart's for a couple of years now, first seeing him for Plantar's Faciitis in one foot, and then more recently to have a more major surgery done to alleviate a lifelong problem with ingrown toenails on both big toes. To say Dr. Stewart is a kind, knowledgeable, and compassionate professional is an understatement! He listens intently, asks necessary questions, and makes sure that you are as comfortable as possible. He takes his time, and will not leave you until your questions are answered. If you're going to require any kind of invasive treatment (as I did), he makes sure that you have all of your questions answered, and that you know what to expect of the treatment, both before and after. Additionally, his wonderful sense of humor will have you laughing, while he readily puts you at ease! His office support staff are equally just as pleasant, and as helpful as can be! It is because of all this that I recommend Dr. Stewart to all of my friends, should they need a wonderful podiatrist... as it doesn't get any better than this! read more

He was great and his staff was wonderful! I had gone in for a minor issue but ended up passing out/fainting during the procedure. When that happened the doctor was quick to make sure I was ok and get me to wake up. He and his nurse were at my side and very kind and very attentive. They made sure I had everything I needed to feel better. Water, cool compress and even offered me a protein bar to help get me to feel better. They are very sweet and attentive! read more

I went to Dr Stewart a number of years ago for a sharp pain in my foot. He suggested I have surgery after telling me he did not think it was cancer. How professional is that?? I resisted and went to see an orthopedic doctor who took an X-ray and gave me a shot of cortisone. In two months my foot was fine and it has not bothered me since. I would not recommend Dr Stewart read more

I was a patient of Dr. Stewart for approximately six months due to a Jones fracture. He completely explained in detail my options for treatment. Dr. Stewart and his office staff are what many of us want and expect from doctors. A caring, professional and knowledgeable Doctor and staff. Would HIGHLY recommend! read more

Great doctor with a caring personality. Start here before you go to a family doctor and then get recommended to Dr. Stewart. He fixed my infected toe and ingrown nail with no pain. Very knowledgeable. read more

Quack! Took my 7 year old daughter for wart removal. I knew it was a wart because we had taken her to another Doctor while on vacation in Southern Cal. The other doctor froze it and said if it didn't go away to see a Dr. in our own area for removal. First off, he wanted to arrange for multiple visits so he could charge us multiple times. I insisted and he agreed to see us. Still even though he agreed it was a wart, he didn't want to remove it. Wanted to schedule another appointment. He was giving us the option of trying "Duct Tape" on the wart and insisted we try that for 2 months. I told her that my daughter was in constant pain because of the location of the wart (at her heel), he was still refusing to take it off. We insisted and he finally removed it. Charged us for Copay and he arranged for post up. I know that as a practice when your patient visits again for a post up, you do not charge them. After all, you are reviewing your own work. But he did and insisted on payment and left us a long message about he he had been accommodating on our first visit. This is a BUSINESS not a caring doctor's office. Beware! read more

I went to Stewart for a second opinion as the first doctor I went to told me I had a spur in my toe and gave me some pain medication without providing other options and I am a very active person and have been in pain for 6+ months and can barely walk my dog. Stewart spent a good amount of time telling me what I had and what options I have. Now I just need to make a decision. I trusted his information, as others shared he was kind and knowledgeable. read more

Fantastic. I have chronic plantar fasciitis and went to see him (about my fifth Podiatrist) and he was great. He listened to my story, seemed like he wanted to help and was looking out for my best intrests. In reality, there isn't alot he could do for me and I knew that, but he was SO honest about it. He also referred me to Jeff Johnson, a chiropractor down the road he thought might be able to help me and it turned out to be an excellent referral. Dr. Stewart listens, is honest, straightforward and is on my list of excellent docs. read more

Don't go see him. He obviously never reviews your chart before seeing you as he never remembers what he's done for you. You will have to be on top of your game when seeing him and will have to constantly remind him of what's been done. He's also contradicting regard his advice. One day it's "stop the night-splint and no physical therapy" as it could rupture your plantar fascia, 5 days later he advices you to wear the night-splint again since the cortisone shot didn't work...oh-and back to physical therapy. What?!? And the follow up is horrible. He told me he was putting in an order for my orthotics, never did. He also said he would follow up with physical therapy as they denied his last request to see me again due to insufficient information on his prescription....haven't heard and it's been 10 days since he said he'd get right on it. Meanwhile I've been in pain for 9 months and now my other foot is starting the same plantar fasciitis symptoms. UGH! read more

My family have been patients of Dr. Stewart for many years. He is an excellent doctor who not only remembers me but always asks after my parents, who were also patients. He doesn't jump right to the most extreme treatment but tries less envasive methods first. He listens to your questions and answers them in language I can understand, without talking down to me. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a good poditrist - I travel from Livermore to see him! read more

The best podiatrist I have seen in over 20 years. The staff is great and made me feel comfortable. A very rare experience today having a Doctor who sincerely cares about his patients. read more

Probably the nicest Dr. I have ever seen. His staff and nurses are top rate and his work ethic is outstanding; long hours, rearranging his schedule to accommodate his patients, etc. His work is impecable and the results of my surgery (7 weeks ago) are much better than I expected. I would recommend him to anyone with foot problems. read more

Dr. Stewart is amazing. I had seen a different podiatrist for almost a year prior who was basically milking every dime he could from me. Luckily someone I knew referred me to Dr. Stewart. After almost 2 years of pain and problems with my big toe, Dr. Stewart had me scheduled for a procedure within a couple months. Everything went great and I am back to normal. Dr. Stewart has a great sense of humor and is extremely kind. He spent a ton of time talking with me and I never once felt rushed. Thank you Dr. Stewart! read more

I had a neuroma on my foot but at the last minute, he also said I had a slight hammertoe. I was told that he would "shave" it down in surgery (not a big deal). A year and half later, I still have trouble walking, have problems on my left side because my walk is off and very angry. I never saw this dr. about problems with a hammertoe; he ended up "fusing" the first toe and putting stitches in so tight that the toe doesn't touch ground and leans to the left. I have had a second surgery (by another dr in area) because Dr. Stewart didn't get another neuroma. Unfortunately, the second surgeon could not fix the toe because it was permanent. Once your toe is fused, that's it (same for bad stitching). I was never told this was going to happen either. My toe was fine; now my life has changed (can't run, ski, exercise like I used to and have more pain on left side) due to unnecessary surgery. Be sure to get a second opinion and understand exactly what is going to happen with surgery!! read more
