Quality medical care service.
Excellent doctor care.
Dr Sewards is very professional and excellent physician.
Dr. Sewards is simply the best. He is brilliant, completely professional, caring, sensitive, genuinely listens to you very carefully and explains everything clearly. I just wish I could have Dr. Sewards as my doctor for everything. Barring that, I wish my other doctors could begin to compare to Dr. Sewards.
Love Temple Ortho. See both Dr. Sewards and [...]. Both great docs!
My experience with Dr. Sewards has been nothing short of exceptional.
Dr. Sewards and the staff @ the Ft. Washington office are the very best. Dr. Sewards is an amazing, caring provider. He is kind and always listens. He never rushes through. He listens and takes the time necessary to help and diagnose.
The staff work as a Team and are very helpful. This is the 3rd time Dr. Sewards will be doing surgery on my arms and I feel confident and comfortable. He is amazing!
I am so impressed with Dr. Sewerds assessment, knowledge, and skill, my stress over the extent and my recovery from this injury disappeared. he was so clear and insightful... and correct about everything! I refer every athlete I know that has an injury to him now.
dr sewards is outstanding physician and very knowledgeable and caring
i Love Dr. Sewards! He's got a great attitude and bedside manner. We've both been thru a tough year with my shoulder surgeries.
Quality service.
Dr. Sewards is the best. He listens to everything and speaks to you in terms you understand. He literally sits and shows you results from CDs of yout tests. [...]

Dr. Sewards is an amazing doctor. I've had multiple surgeries with him and he makes sure I'm taken care of in every way.
my doctor did a great job with my surgery!
Very friendly and cheery staff. Professional and knowledgeable.
Would recommend Dr. Sewards to anybody. He listens to you and gives good care.
Good experience with the 2 doctors and very concerned.
Dr. Sewards is a great doctor who is caring and compassionate and loves his patients. I recommend him to ALL my family and friends. He promised me he would not leave me broken and fix me completely and get my life back. I am very happy and pleased to say I am doing the best I have ever been and can get back into what I love doing for my career!
