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.

I felt safe with him and trusted his advice.

Excellent. Addressed my fears and explained everything to me. 4 days post op and I’m recovering so much better than expected! I had the onset of some muscle spasms at the hospital, but he gave me something that took care of it very quickly and I’m home now and doing great. L4-S1 fusion

Couldn't be bothered to explain results of MRI's
Doctor did answer a couple of questions, but barely even referred to the MRI's he sent me for. Just said I need to do pain management instead of surgery and that I should come back in a month. So I am left with all kinds of terms like stenosis and bulging discs in multiple places in my spine that he can't be bothered explaining.

Dr. Stewart is my Favorite orthopedic doctor! He has operated on me and now I can do almost everything - including 'things' that dr. Stewart said I shouldn't do! But life is demanding...so I do those things...and now I'm going for the next visit to see what he says...I trust him completely!

Saved my life
22 years ago when no other surgeon in Orlando would touch me because I had been ruined by previous surgeries he performed surgery on me and saved me from a life of terrible pain. 5 years ago having been diagnosed with a back issue he took a quick look and told me I had a necrosis in my hip, which was correct and I had my hip replaced. A Boston guy and a lover of the Grateful Dead. I sent two of my friends to him for successful surgery. The greatest doctor I ever met and would have enjoyed more time with him. Always Grateful David Goranson Orlando

Dr. Stewart was my 3rd opinion before my spinal fusion. I am so glad I kept looking for the best because he certainly was!!!! I was in pain for 18 months...did my physical therapy..3 cortisone shots..3 epidurals...back brace...message therapy etc...I tried everything!! My husband and I met with Dr. Stewart and we reviewed my MRI, Catscan and my Xrays and he knew right away that I needed a spinal fusion and needed to remove a cyst, bone spur and arthritis. From start to finish his team was excellent!!!! I had my surgery at Heart of Florida Hospital (now Advent Health) and everyone was fabulous!!! I will refer all of my friends to Dr. Stewart!!! I am only 3 weeks into my recovery but I already feel like I have my life back!!! Thank you Dr. Stewart

I went there and got more than I bargained for. Sciatic pain in both legs after a spinal fusion. I have a large seroma that hardened.. And foot drop,leg cramps,numbness,weakness in one leg,urinary incontinence and retention. All associated with pinched off nerves. I was told to go else where he can't help me anymore. So now thanks to him I have been on pain meds for over a year. Still trying to get somebody to fix this mess.

Dr. Stewart performed my neck fusion surgery in August of 2017. I couldn’t be more pleased with the results! He fused C3-6 on my neck and I anticipated a resulting lack of neck mobility as a result. I have no such limits on my mobility. I was able to resume my daily walking schedule within a.few weeks, back up to 5 miles per day at aerobic pace. Trust me, at 70 I didn’t see that coming. Hope you never need similar surgery, but if you do, Dr. Geoffrey Stewart is your guy! Be well.

Dr. Stewart has been my back doctor for over 20 years. He has done several surgeries on my back. He is truly the reason I am still walking and not wheelchair bound. I trust him big time to do surgeries on me. Having faith in your surgeon is extremely important especially when doing spinal surgery. He is a wonderful, caring doctor!!

I have seen 5 other surgeons in the past 5 years. Dr. Stewart is confident but not cocky. His experience with even complicated spinal surgery is, bar none, the best I have seen. His results are excellent and his caring is comforting. You feel he is on your side. He is willing to fix even other failed surgeries. I was ready to sign up for surgery the fist time I met him. I have not been disappointed.

After 2 failed back surgeries that were done by other doctors, Dr. Stewart literally had to take my spine apart and put it back together correctly. Oh how I wish I had known about him first! He is a kind and compassionate man, who invests himself fully in the care of his patients. He has surrounded himself with support staff who possess the same commitment to top quality patient care as he has. Phone calls are answered/ returned promptly. Don't go anywhere else. You will not find better!

Dr Stewart is a well learned spine surgeon. He told me exactly what I needed done, and answered my questions without any omissions. I trusted him right from the start. His office picked up on the Veterans Choice Card through Health Net for this service, literally bent over backwards to provide service to this disabled vet.
