Wells Stewart, III, MD
Specialties
OrthoVirginia Offices
Dr. Wells Stewart specializes in hip and knee replacement. He chose his specialty because hip and knee replacement are two of the most successful surgeries at improving patient quality of life and because he wants to help patients get back to being active. Dr. Stewart was drawn to the technical precision required for a well-done joint replacement. He is particularly interested in utilizing advanced technology, such as robotic assisted surgery, to improve patient outcomes. Dr. Stewart believes in soft tissue friendly surgery and utilizes minimally invasive approaches to speed recovery. He uses the muscle-sparing subvastus approach for total knee replacement and the muscle-sparing direct anterior approach for total hip replacement. He also specializes in complex revision surgery for patients whose prior hip and knee replacements have failed and enjoys fixing these difficult problems.
Originally from the small town of Elkin, NC, Dr. Stewart loves spending time with his wife and young daughter. He enjoys training his Labrador retriever to compete in retriever hunt tests and field trails, is an avid duck hunter, a lifelong sports fan, and a cooking enthusiast, especially when it comes to barbecue.
