We are extremely grateful for the wonderful care our family has received over the last 20 years from this Stanford educated super physician! In addition to Louise Stewart's many talents, she is hands down the top sclerotherapy injector on the planet, and is able to successfully inject every vein no matter how small or complex the veins. Thank you Louise for helping with all our dermatology concerns, as well as cosmetic concerns :)

Dr Stewart is very thorough and always spends time listening & explaining in a very caring manner. She also reads all the studies- so rare to find this combination of qualities in any doctor!

Dr. Stewart has been my dermatologist for many years. She is an outstanding doctor, always caring, knows her profession inside and out and has taken excellent care of both myself and my family. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Stewart manner was beyond offensive and judgmental. I felt embarrassed and hurt by her comments. Could not wait to leave. Her judgements kept her from accurately trouble shooting my condition. I may never fully recover. Wish Dr. Stewart went less on her feelings and more on science.

Overall Dr.Stewart is wonderful. I love her bed side manner and she is wonderful at her profession. The front office sucks. Seems like they are in it just becasue it is a job. I have never seen a couple of them smile. Not once!I feel if she got staff that loved what they did and were as warm as she is the would have an amazing practice.When I call to get an appointment they treat me like I am a pain in rear end.There are alot of people out of work that would die for a job. Guarentee they would increase the over all experience of the visit.I know a lot of people who cant deal with it anymore and are going elsewhere. This includes me.
