Patient Testimonial: Stephanie Stewart
Stephanie Stewart, a Columbus, Ohio native, spent over 30 years as a nursing assistant and now works as a virtual observer at Ohio Health. A mother of two and grandmother of one, Stephanie also serves as a caregiver for her sister with dementia. Before her hip surgery, hobbies like swimming, walking, and gardening had fallen by the wayside due to chronic hip pain sustained during her years as a patient care assistant.
Stephanie was referred to Dr. Brian Cohen by her primary care physician. From her very first appointment at the Grove City location, Dr. Cohen put her at ease. She described feeling nervous at the start, but his careful listening, clear explanations, and confident approach immediately built trust. Stephanie also noted the exceptional care provided by the staff, from the front desk and X-ray technicians to the nurses, who were friendly, kind, and genuinely caring.
On the day of her procedure, Stephanie felt a little nervous since she had never had surgery before. Dr. Cohen visited her bedside afterward to answer questions, and she was impressed by the smooth, supportive process and attentive nursing staff.
Five months post-operation, Stephanie reports significant improvement. While she still experiences some pain, she no longer relies on pain medications and has returned to her favorite activities, including gardening, kneeling to plant and pull weeds without discomfort. She praised Dr. Cohen’s experience and expertise, noting that he treats patients as people, not just cases. Stephanie highly recommends Dr. Cohen and his team to anyone who is injured or uncertain about seeking care.
