Dr. Stewart is fantastic, intelligent and clever with his mind. He was so kind to me as well as the staff who graciously worked with me to make my experience with them wonderful! The whole Team was kind, Helpful, and worth every penny! I highly recommend Dr. Stewart

This office is a nightmare. Everyone who works here believes they are "immune to covid" so no one wears a mask. A large portion of the patients who come here are highly immune compromised, but this office doesn't care. They will not adhere to covid safety precautions. Dr. Kendal Stewart is rude and dismissive. He said that "the first thing we learn in medical school is that masks don't work"...how did this guy get his degree? He believes that  "vaccine toxins" are the cause of illness and that the "toxins" have to be removed so you can get better. It's ridiculous. Do not go to this office or see Dr. Kendal Stewart.

Please do not risk your health here.When you are desperate, you'll look past a myriad of red flags, which is what I did, and it's severely cost me my health.As other reviewers have stated, Dr. Stewart uses a "one size fits all" methodology and IF you're randomly lucky it may help, or in many cases like mine it's made things so much worse.  The first appointment, as also relayed in other reviews, will end up costing you near $1,000 and get you a "razzle dazzle" show of a printed deck that he will go through ridiculously fast- its meant to impress you but also leave you feeling overwhelmed and unable to really ask questions.  Then you'll get several of his brand labels and pay for genetic testing.  I should have left after that appt and never gone back.I took time to fill out the intake form which I realized later no one had ever looked at or read, because I said in it I have severe auto immune issues...At my first visit I was given a Glutathione IV and told, "and we'll give you a shot to help you feel better that will stay in your system a few weeks" - sounded great, but I found out later it was 60mg of a corticosteroid which tanks your immune system (my GP couldn't believe anyone would give 60mg of corticosteroid injections to someone with immune issues). I started seeing healthy fat and muscle wasting and went back for another appt concerned, where he said they'd give me another shot adding the same line he'd given me the first time, "give me a few weeks and I'll have you feeling great " along with the story of a little girl he allegedly did miracles for.  Again, I wish I'd never gone that day.The 2nd corticosteroid shot rapidly escalated the muscle and healthy fat deterioration- I called and emailed in a panic repeatedly- the response being they'd be glad to see me again (for another $250 appt). After begging for help in emails they sent over a $7,000 prescription for Human Growth Hormone, saying with a coupon it would be $2,000. There was no coupon and even if so I couldn't have afforded it and had completely lost all trust by that point- my Dr also couldn't believe they'd prescribe that to me.I had to research on my own after the fact to find out it was a heavy dose of corticosteroids that they'd injected me with TWICE. It was never discussed or mentioned, just "a shot to help you feel better."  I confirmed this when my medical records were finally released to my Neurologist after having gone in to Stewart's office and filled out the release forms months prior (no action taken on their part after to release as they legally were required to) and after it then took my Neurologist directly having to make 4 calls to them over several weeks to finally get the records released.Huge red flag in this, and also that his office manager told me on the phone they "never just release records", they have to get his notes, type them up and have him review and approve them first. Your medical records legally belong to you, that he has to review and approve them is a huge red flag. Also on the release form there are 3 boxes to check asking why you want the records: for yourself, for another Dr, or for Legal Action...The staff is another big red flag- they seem unfocused, confused and not of the caliber you'd find in a normal Dr's office. They are curt at best and mostly apathetic and unresponsive. No one really seems to know what's going on there, or have a solid protocol in place.Since that 2nd shot they gave me, I've lost over 40# of muscle and healthy fat as my severely flared auto-immune system continues to attack my own body.  When I mention Stewart's name to the Dr's and Specialists I go to now explaining my situation and trying to stop the damage from continuing, they immediately give me a knowing and concerned face and say he had a reputation "back in the day" but now only seems to cause more harm than good to people.Please don't make the mistake I did- see the red flags, read the other 1-star reviews on Google and other sites thoroughly, and find a true Doctor.

Drove 8 hours all the way from Louisiana to see Dr. Stewart. He was highly regarded by the autism community and so we hoped to get help and find answers from him. The visit went okay and her MA Susan Haynes created a treatment plan. Saw Dr. Stewart at the end of the appointment. $800 of fees later we went home positive that we have a doctor that could help us. I sent an email to ask for help when my son got some herpes blisters. This virus can potentially cause a PANS (something Susan and I discussed)flare so I begged them to please send us a script for Acyclovir. The nurses never acknowledged my email. I sent another one and it is again ignored. My husband called several times to ask for a script and one nurse said she will call it in. We went to the pharmacy to pick it up and they said there is no script sent. Weekend came and went, we called again and the front desk will connect us to the nurse number but nobody answers. After trying over and over we finally got a script. 4 days after my first email (which remained unanswereduntil now). My son is already in a full on PANS flare and regressed tremendously with crazy OCD (which I also stated in my email). I feel like I wasted all our resources travelling there to see him and then end up being ignored. A patient shouldn't have to go through all these hardships just to get their doctor to help them. We felt robbed. Beware if you are a special needs family looking for help, going to them will only cause you more stress. Dr. Stewart is fine, his staff are worthless.
