Having relocated to MD from SC, I was unfamiliar with the Columbia area, my former Gyn-oncologist in Charleston had found an area of concern on results of scans. It took several months for his office to find a Johns Hopkin's doctor who could see me. Dr. Stewert was wonderful! She reviewed my health history, asked ertinent questions and listened to my answers. I was able to have blood work done by a very efficient lab person.
