Comment from Cassandra Westbrooks:

The best little clinic on the South side with an old fashion Doctor that treat the whole person! My experience is a long wait because of the policy first, first served but I always feel like Dr. Stewart's favorite patient! I even went to his private practice when I got a job with benefits!
