"I first met Doc Steward a year and a half ago and liked him from the start. He is very caring towards his patients and understands what they go through. He is very down to earth in talking to us and takes the time to answer any question you have in a caring manner. He has stuck with me and encouraged me through out my long ordeal of waiting for my disability to go through and then medicare to kick in. He fought for me to be approved by medicare for lap band. He has a great staff working for/with him along with the other doctors. I know he will do all in his ability to do what is right for me before/during/after the surgery. He rates the highest honors with me. "
