Dr. Stewart was on faculty at Washington University for 10 years where he was an Associate Professor of Neurological and Orthopedic Surgery. During this time, he worked at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, a level 1 trauma center, and gained great experience in complex trauma, tumor, and degenerative cases of the spine. In addition to his clinical duties, he performed research, taught residents and fellows, and lectured nationally and internationally. He has helped to design multiple spinal implants that are in use today.

Dr. Stewart performs all aspects of spinal surgery, however, he has a particular interest in cervical spine (neck) surgery for radiculopathy (pinched nerve), myelopathy (pinched spinal cord), and kyphosis (abnormal alignment of the neck). He also has an interest in spondylolisthesis and radiculopathy of the lumbar spine. He uses minimally invasive approaches where appropriate. Dr. Stewart continues to use novel 3D computer modeling of the spine as an educational tool for patients, doctors, and nursing staff. He has reprogrammed a first-person shooter video game engine to demonstrate interactive spinal anatomy and surgical technique to patients.
