I am very comfortable and confident in my Orthopedic surgeon and his team.
Dr. Sewards is helping me stay out of surgery and I'm much more comfortable!
Dr. Sewards was the best possible surgeon I could've seen. This is my [...] injury and he was kinder and more understanding and personable than any ortho I've ever seen. He made sure I understood the situation and what he was going to do and why. Also showed empathy which no ortho has ever done for me before. Very grateful he'll be treating me!
Visit to Dr. Sewards always a pleasant experience.
Excellent care provided by physician and his resident. Explained everything to me so I could understand them. Will refer my patients to him.

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.
