Originally from Cleveland, OH, Dr. Christopher Stewart always enjoyed putting things together as a child, so as his interest in medicine grew it was a natural progression to orthopedics where he could focus on a hands-on approach to the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries.
Dr. Stewart received a Bachelor of Science degree in microbiology and cell science from the University of Florida. He continued his education by receiving his Doctor of Medicine from Ross University School of Medicine, Dominica West Indies. He completed his residency in orthopedic surgery at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, Shreveport and a fellowship in orthopedic traumatology at the University of Tennessee College of Medicine, Chattanooga. In addition, he spent time on the AONA Orthopedic Trauma Teaching Faculty teaching other orthopedic surgeons the fundamental knowledge of operative treatment for fractures including treatment of complex fractures and possible complications.
A specialist in orthopedic trauma, Dr. Stewart’s areas of expertise include pelvis and acetabular fractures, complex intra-articular (joint) fractures, multi-extremity injuries, and caring for multi-injured patients. His passion comes from seeing patients through the entire recovery process of a traumatic injury including physical, mental and spiritual healing.
Dr. Stewart and his wife Sonya have two children. He enjoys hunting, hiking, sports and has a special interest in personal fitness.
