get to know me

I chose my specialty because...

I am able to treat patients hands-on and it is gratifying to see results very quickly. Also, I was heavily involved in sports as I grew up and now enjoy taking care of the next generation of young athletes.

I like working with kids because...

they are so fun! Kids are motivated to resume play and I love that I can help them return to their normal activities.

I chose to work at Dayton Children's because...

of the fantastic opportunity to practice my specialty in the area where I grew up.

Dayton Children's is special because...

of the collegial staff that is focused on providing the highest level of care in a comfortable environment.

I appreciate that my female athlete is being cared for by a female surgeon. We appreciate Dr. Steward and her example of excellence.

The whole visit was very dismissive. It felt like no matter what I said or how we explained it- their mind was made up That it was some type of growing pain. We waited 30+ minutes before seen and then another 20+ minutes just for a brace. Unacceptable.

I completely understand the doctor spends time with the patients and their families to explain everything, but they were running very behind. It was just a little frustrating for my son because he was dealing with a migraine. The doctor, nurse, and the gentleman who did my son's cast were wonderful, and very informative

Dr. Steward was very knowledgeable and she took her time with us. She answered all questions, explained things in a way that we would understand, and she also went out of her way to really show us exactly what she was talking about on the MRIs. We left there feeling empowered and knowing what our next steps were, and we appreciated that.
