Dr. Rena Lorraine Stewart, MD

As a nurse I will say, you need negative stars.

Excellent doctor!! I would rate a 10 out of a 10 if I could. So blessed she was the one who operated on my wrist. I highly recommend her. Very, very thorough and she did a beautiful job on my wrist!! Had no pain and it healed up quickly. I just can’t say enough about her and Trust me I never, ever write reviews. This is a first!!

Her medical expertise left my dad suffering from his fatality. It is a shame she is allowed to practice. Karma!

Very easy to work with. Repaired my broken ankle and it's healing nicely with no pain after the first 10 days. She spent a lot of time with me. She is direct but professional. Answered all my questions and offered helpful suggestions.

She did my dad wrong.. Almost 7 years later after his accident and surgery, he is in constant pain 24/7. He was taken to UAB because of their facilities. Stewart was his doctor. Stewart lied, did not care, and did not do what was ethical and right in the medical field. It is a shame she is still practicing.

she was a god sent. Excellent doctor.

Dr. Stewart doesn't care about her patients. She really should have gone into acting, that seems to be a better fit. She acts like a doctor but the outcome of her services is frightening. I would stay away, I wish I had.

After my accident i didnt think id be able to climb and work again. Dr Stewart repaired my shattered left scapula and i followed her physical therapy plan and was able to return to working that year. With proper exercise and stretching,i have no problems climbing trees and working today. I would recommend Dr Stewart to anyone.

When my mother was admitted to UAB with a broken hip we requested that her Ortho. surgeon perform the hip replacement. Dr. Stewart sent her students to our room to convince us how we should use Dr. Stewart cause she's great.. I realized right away that didn't sound good (none of the students were convincing.) Next Dr. Stewart arrived to the room, telling us that Dr. Vogel ( the dr. we requested) would be unavailable for days (I later found out that was a lie) and if we didn't do the surgery quickly my mother would probably die. Long story short....Dr. Stewart stitched the prosthesis to my mother's sciatica nerve, and she didn't do the placement correctly, she didn't use cement in a Parkinson's patient, almost always the recommendation for hip replacements. Dr. Stewart did not appear for follow up we only saw her again after my mother's second surgery that was an attempt to correct my mother's displaced hip and the sciatic nerve that was wrapped around the loose prosthesis. My mother never walked again. Dr, Stewart would not even admit there was a problem. Since then I've met many people who have had similar experience with Dr. Stewart. Dr. Stewart is only a doctor according to the medical examiners office, other that a piece of paper handed to her she is in no other way a doctor. Her apathy is despicable, she is well aware of the misery she has caused by her ineptitude, carelessness, and her lack of expertise as a surgeon. I met 3 patients in one week who all had the same outcome, bed ridden for life, because of Dr. Stewarts botched surgeries, I can only imagine how many more there are.

I had to wait 2 hours for a scheduled appointment! When Dr. Stewart finally arrived she appeared confused and made out of place remarks. I had to explain my injuries several times and each time the doctor had completly different care plans in mind. The whole thing was a waste of time, I decided to wait for my physician to return from vacation...glad I did.

i waited an hour and a half. The doctor was rude to me and lectured me on losing weight for 45 min. Now I may be a little plump, but no heavier than Dr Stewert. I would not go back.

Do yourself a big favor and DON'T get invoved with Rena Stewart!I'm lucky to be alive! Ms. Stewart passes of the surgery to her students...I found out that another doctor and a student did the whole horrible surgery. I have never walk again! When I asked her about why she passed the surgery off to others and she said it was the way medicine is practiced in America.Run while you still can...she's trouble!

extremely rude! attempted to have my fracture taken care of at UAB where all my doctors are and all I got was an argument...

Our experience was one filled with outright lies. While at UAB to treat a broken hip, we had requested a surgeon that we knew. We were pushed into accepting Dr Stewart. During the surgery she passed the operation off to another surgeon and never met back with the patient. THe surgery was a disaster, the siatic nerve was stiched to the implant, another surgery was necessary and Dr. Stewart was no where to be found. WHen we finally caught up with her she blamed the events on "the way medicine is in America" Horrible.

Dr Stewart was nasty and uncaring. She told my husband one thing on one visit and completely something different the next.We had a bad feeling the first time and should have went with our gut and never returned.

Did not seem to understand or care about the extent of my injury or pain. I experience pain all day every day.Had three different medical students examine my injury in the same visit. This only made my pain worse. I would never see her as a patient again, and would not recommend her to another patient. I attemted to make a formal complaint with UAB. Dr. Stewart recommended the same therapy I did many times before. I went back to therapy again and therapy discharged me. Dr. Stewart refered to this as non compliant. I could not make her understand that therapy discharged me.

Fell while out of state Sunday afternoon. Drove straight home Monday and went to Highlands ER. Was referred by Highlands ER to call the Ortho Scheduling Office on Monday for followup. Since it was after 5pm getting home Monday, I called Tuesday morning. Scheduling set me up to see Dr. Rena Stewart this morning (Wednesday) at 7:15. I checked in, was told she had ordered xrays, paid my copay and was half-way through filling out a health form when her nurse came out to tell me I'd made a mistake - that I was suppose to be seeing a different doctor at Highland Clinic a mile away. She proceeded to call to see if he could "work me in". This is day 3 after having fallen and injured my wrist, and my second trip to the UAB health system (went to the ER day before yesterday), and still do not have a diagnosis nor talked to a doctor. The insult was being told it was MY MISTAKE that I was at the wrong location, yet I was given directions on where to go because I'd never been there. Dr. Stewart refused to see me, even though she's an orthopedist! I would NOT recommend the ortho department at UAB, nor the Highlands facility.
