Patient Comments
I highly recommend Dr. Sewards and Temple orthopedics to all my family and friends! They are very caring and considerate.
Dr Seward is outstanding. Can't say enough about him
FABULOUS! Did all of the above AND provided a genuine concern about getting me better AND gave me hope for improvement AND motivation to continue to try to get better!
I highly recommend [...] and Dr. Sewards. Dr. Sewards has been treating my osteoarthritic knees for years and also successfully surgically repaired my right rotator cuff. [...] has successfully treated my avulsion ankle fracture this month. Years ago [...] successfully treated my son's separated shoulder from an ice hockey injury.
Dr. Sewards is fantastic. I very much value his counsel and treatment approaches.
