Harold Kuehnemund
- Right Knee Arthroplasty
“I had a total knee arthroplasty 2 months ago and have had phenomenal results. I used a walker for a week after the surgery and switched to a cane after that but realized I was carrying the cane rather then using it. I have no pain, full motion and use of my knee. I have been working in my garden and cutting the grass for the past two weeks. I'm doing all the things I enjoy, pain free. I'm very pleased with my results! Thank you Dr. Stewart.”
Peggy Arnold
- Total Knee Arthroplasty
“I have had rheumatoid arthritis for 7 years. When I was first diagnosed my right knee was giving me all kinds of problems. Everyone said at 49 I was to young for a knee replacement. When my knee started giving out I decided to come see Dr. Stewart. He recommended a knee replacement and itâs the best thing I have ever done. I had physical therapy for a while after surgery; every time I went I noticed my knee improving. I am able to walk as I please and do steps without a problem. Having a knee replacement is the best thing I ever did.”
Jennifer Katzinger
- Total Knee Replacement
“This pic was taken after my surgery, i had 2 prior surgeries before seeing Dr. Stewart, i lived and worked in pain for 1 1/2 years, without Dr. Stewart i would not be working as a nurse today or doing the things i can now do with my 2 beautiful girls :)... He has stood by my side thru my recovery and all the way till now which is the day i graduated from physical therapy. For the first time in 3 years i can say my knee doesn't hurt, my accident was 3 years ago March 25th. I dont know what i would have done without him there to fix my leg, i thank him and his staff everyday.....”
D Wynn
- Torn Labrum Shoulder
“I injured my right shoulder playing basketball in December of 2009. I wasn't able to raise my arm, if I forced my arm up it would click and pop. Dr. Stewart ordered a MRI of my shoulder, it showed a torn labrum. He preformed an arthroscopy and a labral repair. I had physical therapy to help with my range of motion. My recovery went very quick, I was playing basketball again within 3 months of surgery, 3 times a week. Now I have full range of motion and I'm stronger then ever.”
Joyce Rindhage
- Knee Arthroplasty
“I had a total knee arthroplasty three weeks ago. Prior to surgery I had a lot of pain and would loose my balance easily. I was always concerned of falling. I fought Dr. Stewart for a long time about having surgery, but my knee pain finally got to the point where it was unbearable. I wish I would have listened to Dr. Stewart and had the surgery ages ago. I am pain free and walking great on my own. I am very satisfied with the results. Thank you Dr. Stewart.”
Amy Cianek
- Oxford partial knee replacement
“Before having partial knee surgery I was in a lot of pain and was not capable of doing my daily routine or exercising. I would wake up in the middle of the night in pain with to much activity the day before. After surgery I am 100% better and so much happier. I'm extremely satisfied with the results and Iâm looking forward to having my left knee done in the future. Thank you Dr. Stewart.”
Geraldine Norlock
- Spinal Decompression & Fusion of the Lumbar Spine
“I couldnât walk before surgery due to extreme back pain. I had no appetite and was losing weight. I'm so glad I decided to go through with Dr. Stewart's recommendation of Spinal Decompression & Fusion of the Lumbar Spine. I'm pain free and getting around again. I also have my appetite back and I'm getting stronger everyday. Thank you Dr. Stewart”
Albert Schulze
- Spinal Decompression and Fusion of the Lumbar Spine
“Less then a month ago Dr. Stewart performed spinal decompression and fusion of the lumbar spine for spinal stenosis. Before surgery I was having lower back pain, leg pain and weakness. I could hardly walk. It hurt every time I bent at the knees. I haven't felt this good in over a year. It's amazing, the pain is just gone!”
Irene Martin
- Shoulder Hemiarthroplasty
“I had terrible right shoulder pain, do to severe arthritis and a torn rotator cuff, that would keep me up at night to the point where I would cry myself to sleep. Doctor Stewart tried to convince me for many months to have surgery but I was afraid.
I'm post shoulder hemiarthroplasty and doing wonderful. I wish I would have done the surgery when Dr. Stewart first recommended it. If anyone is afraid to have the surgery they need to talk to me.”
Chris Rainy
- Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair
“I injured my knee playing golf. My knee was very painful and pretty much worthless before surgery. Dr. Stewart preformed an ACL repair and I returned to work 5 weeks after surgery. 1 month ahead of schedule. I feel great. I can do anything including painting 3 cars on the weekends.”
Beverly Wiltse
- Posterior Lumbar Spinal Decompression and Fusion
“Dr. Stewart performed Posterior Lumbar Spinal Decompression and Fusion on January 4, 2008. I had so much back and leg pain before surgery that I could hardly sit down or walk. The pain was the worst I've ever had in my life. I had to use a wheelchair to move around.
My life was miserable before my surgery now I have my wonderful life back again.
Having the surgery was the best decision I made in my life. Now I can walk, run, exercise, dance and wear my high heels again. Best of all I am able to play and dance with my wonderful grandchildren again. Thank You! ”
Margaret McGregor
- Right hip fracture repaired with a gamma nail
“I am 98 years old and fell on Christmas Eve. I had terrible pain and the hospital told me I broke my right hip. Dr. Stewart came and operated on my hip by putting a screw across the fracture. Now I have no pain in my hip and have recovered. I am very grateful for Dr. Stewart.”
James Bonnell
- Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty
“I had a massive rotator cuff tear and was in extreme pain. I could barely raise my right arm. Dr. Stewart did reverse shoulder arthroplasty surgery in October 2012. This is a surgery for people like me who have rotator cuff tears so severe they can not be repaired with normal surgery techniques.
After surgery I had relief instantly. The surgical pain was no where near the pain I was having from the tear before surgery.
Prior to surgery I could not do very much of anything with my arm. I could only raise it 30 degrees and could not even feed myself with my right hand. Now I can shave my head and do almost anything with my right arm. The surgery has made a world of difference to me. This is a photo of me standing in front of my reverse shoulder arthroplasty x-Ray. See how high I can raise my arm now. Thank you Dr. Stewart.”
Pamela Doan
- Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion Cervical Spine
“I am 61 years old and had terrible headaches, neck and arm pain for several years. I had trouble sleeping and using my arm. Dr. Stewart diagnosed severe arthritis of the cervical spine and ruptured discs. He performed an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion at 2 levels on December 5, 2012. The surgery lasted about one hour. Now I am pain free. I have not had a headache since. I am so glad I had the surgery.”
Joyce Henry
- Lumbar Laminectomy Decompression with Fusion
“My name is Joyce Henry. Before surgery I had constant back pain on a level of 8 to 10. Back injections did not help. I had spurs pressing on my spinal cord causing severe back and left leg pain. Dr. Stewart performed a spinal decompression and bone grafting on my back February 18, 2013. Now I feel like a new woman. My pain level is a zero and I walk 95% better since the surgery. It has only been 6 weeks since my surgery. I can not thank Dr. Stewart enough. ”
