Joel Stewart, M.D.

He was very helpful. I was happy I changed to this practice.

Dr Stewart is the Best! Don't go to any other doctor if you have foot or ankle problems!

Dr. Stewart is thorough and personable, easy to communicate with and makes treating your issue understandable and respects your comfort level on how aggressively you want to go.

Dr. Stewart is the best!

Thank you. First time I have been without pain in over a year.

Dr Stewart is an attentive listener and gives thorough feedback. I have seen him several times for foot problems. Because he is thorough and takes time with each patient there may be a long wait time, but worth the wait.

Dr Stewart is great, takes the time to listen to you

When someone’s one of the best of the best, it’s hard to say much more. Very professional, well worth the wait. You can immediately tell that Dr S sits down, listens, and makes an effort to understand the big picture prior to arriving at a diagnosis. MDs are constantly pressed for time, but that’s not apparent when you see him. Quite the opposite really. His staff was pleasant, very kind. This is coming from a therapist who has worked with MANY physicians’ patients over the last 15 years.

Although my appointment ran very late (1 hour) this team is worth it! I trust Joel completely because my husband had ankle reconstruction 15 years ago which has been very successful. Dr. Stewart is professional, honest, kind and skillful!

Outstanding service as always. Dr Stewart is the best!!

He is genuine, takes his time and gives you his honest opinion. He does what is best for the patient.

I have had a great great outcome ! Thank you Dr. Joel Stewart .

Absolutely wonderful! I saw multiple doctors regarding my ankle pain/arthritis and Dr. Stewart was the doctor who I trusted to take me through the process of a total ankle replacement.

The process for an ankle replacement is intense and stressful-- yet Dr. Stewart and his team were communicative and responsive at every phase of the process. Dr. Stewart also has an amazing staff and is incredibly responsive and kind.

He is thorough and tells you exactly what he is trying to diagnose. Most importantly, he listens! Tells you what are your options and what he recommends as your treatment.

His (Joel Stewart) medical practicing ethics are off the chain, something rarely seen in a money making business today. Usually, ethics goes out of the window when put up against money as being most important. When he moved to a different practice, six months later, I found myself once again enshrined with the fortunate few. Thank you, Dr. Stewart, for allowing me to be a part of YOUR circle.

He is such a really good person and a DR. Dr Stewart, listens to you and speaks with you, explains your condition so you understand.

When I first broke my ankle, my first Orthopedic doctor/surgeon did an outstanding job, but my ankle hurt all the time. He sent me to Dr. Stewart in 2017. Long story short, I have followed Dr. Stewart for my care, including a recent ankle transplant. Together with his compassion, honesty, and knowledge as a doctor, I wouldn't go to anyone else.

I appreciate how he took the most conservative approach to avoid surgery until it became evident that surgery was necessary. He listened to me and explained everything carefully.

Very personal, easy to talk to and explains everything very well.

Dr. Stewart has been my doctor for a number of years, and he is still patient, good humored, knowledgeable and very caring. Thankful he is our doctor.

It’s literally the only doctor I’ve ever had that listens and explains it thoroughly!

Dr Stewart was direct, thoughtful, thorough, and took time to address my questions and concerns.

Dr. Stewart is kind and very personable. We discussed my treatment in detail together.

Super patient doctor who’s willing to dig into what’s going on instead of dismissing your concerns or prescribing meds to deal with the symptoms without knowing the root cause of the issue.

Dr Stewart exhibits all the qualities one would want in a doctor. He is very attentive and immediately reactive to any discomfort.

Explained the procedure very well and answered questions.

As always, Dr. Stewart explained things in a manner that did not go over my head, listened to my concerns and moved forward with a plan that suits my current situation.

He was really behind at end of day, so I felt rushed after waiting 1 1/2hrs to see him. He was highly recommended. I'm hopeful future appts. go better.

Dr Stewart is fantastic! He is always attentive and explains everything to me in terms I can understand. He gives me options and also will tell me what he thinks about them. I live in Hampton and I think so highly of him that I made the decision to follow him to Va Beach when he decided to change practices. He replaced my left ankle three years ago and I’m having him replace the other one too.

Very patient and understanding to my situation.

Dr Stewart was very sensitive to my situation and very thorough. I really like the way he talked with me and the treatment he is providing.

Extremely THOROUGH.

Excellent service. Dr. Steward was very detailed on what type of surgery, recovery and home care. He made me feel I'm in good hands.

Dr. Stewart and his entire team are the most professional and knowledgeable health care providers I have experienced. His experiences with my particular symptoms provided me with a diagnosis other providers did not consider. I look forward to his recommendations for my future care.

So glad that Dr. Stewart came back to Virginia Beach. He found problems in my foot that the radiologist missed in a scan.

He’s the best. Great surgeon with a excellent bedside manner.

Been very patient with me. Good bedside manner. Willing to make every effort for the patient.

Excellent surgeon and doctor

The Doctor was really friendly and knowledgeable about my health issues.

Very happy that Dr. Stewart has joined Jordan Young....all my Ortho needs in one practice

None needed

Best ortho doc ever! Patient, kind and smart!

I have followed Dr. Stewart to his 3rd orthopedic practice, which shows how much I trust his expertise. In addition, he is great with me as a patient, answering all my questions and concerns in a patient and thorough manner.

Best orthopedic surgeon I’ve counted myself lucky to find in Va Beach many, many times over the decades. Friendly, patient and thoroughly professional, Dr. Stewart explains my various ailments clearly so that I can make informed choices and feel a part of my healing processes. His manner gives me confidence that my outcomes will indeed be the best possible for my circumstances, and encourages my participation to the best of my ability with endeavors such as PT. He’s been proved right over and over again as he’s guided my healing wrt to no fewer than three separate issues over the years. Such a blessing! Even though it’s selfish I hope he loves his profession so much that he’s not tempted to retire. He’s a credit to his calling and an asset in our community.

Dr. Stewart clearly explained my issue and his proposed course of resolving it. Honest approach. Did not rush the examination even though the office was backed up by that time of day( 2:30)

Kind, compassionate, knowledgeable

Very easy to talk to, honest, and straight forward.

Dr. Stewart went far and beyond during my appointment and answered every question I had. Very knowledgeable and even though I have a stress tear in my Achilles he made my appointment easy and stress free. Will never go anywhere else other than here.

Very personable- fully explained my issue and treatment

He listens which is very important to me. And my foot is much better after his surgery. He does wonderful follow up!

Excellent bedside manor: after introducing himself he asked me about my dancing & golfing that were in my profile on record that, to me, showed that he had taken the time to read my entire Sentara profile before seeing me. He then gave a detailed explanation of physical issues & treatment using terms I understood, paused to give me time to ask questions, & asked me how it felt as I was trying out how to adapt my walk in the boot as I was leaving.

Excellent experience with Dr. Stewart! He took the time to listen to the issues I’m having with my feet and put forth a clear plan moving forward. Highly recommend!

Best doctor. I have followed him from different places he’s been. Excellent doctor

Very thorough. He took his time and explained things fully. I felt that he cared about my issue and helping me improve. I didn’t feel rushed.

Great first impression. Polite and professional. Clearly stated his findings from my xrays and physical exam.

I do not remember her name, but DR. Stewart's PA was also very professional and polite.

Dr Stewart really takes the time to help you understand your treatment plan and after care. I love his care so much that I have followed him from his previous location to this new location. I thoroughly trust his expertise! Thank you so much Dr Stewart.

I've worked with Dr. Stewart as an anesthesiologist and he's been my surgeon for years. No one is more professional, respectful, and friendly. He's a recognized and respected expert in orthopedic surgery, with a very impressive background. You will not find a better physician and surgeon to make the diagnosis, give you multiple options, and ensure your recovery / post-op function is optimal.

Dr Stewart is very compassionate and informative explains itself very well!

Listens, explains and treats you with respect. Gets the pain levels you are experiencing. Great bedside manner. The office peeps are all very nice and empathetic as well.

Dr. Stewart is a phenomenal doctor. His beside manner is immaculate. I have had a ton of medical trauma & he has restored my faith. I feel confident in his abilities and knowledge, which says a lot for me. Out of all the foot surgeons i’ve seen he is one of the top. He is kind, compassionate & really listens to you. He makes sure you’re seen and heard. Dr. Stewart isn’t afraid to take on complex cases and is always up for the challenge. I’m so grateful he moved to over to Jordan Young. I haven’t had surgery by him yet, but i’m willing to let him operate out of all the doctors I’ve seen. Thank you Dr Stewart for being a wonderful representative of how the medical field should operate!
