Ms. Steven R Sewall

This man (and his now retired partner, Dr.Doran Ryan) essentially saved my life. I am not being overly dramatic. I had a problem with TMJ issues since high school. In 2000 things got worse. I saw an oral surgeon in Madison who did some procedures on me which did help temporarily. However, my pain, ability to open mouth/chew etc. got increasingly worse. At that point I think the Madison oral surgeon thought I was a hysterical female/exaggerating, whatever. I will admit I was not easy to deal with at that point - I was in horrible pain 24/7, my mouth opening decreasing, affecting my ability to eat other than liquids/very soft foods. Smiling hurt, talking hurt, latter made my job difficult. Walked around with ice on face almost constantly. Found Froedert Oral Maxillofacial Surgery Department. They diagnosed me with osteoarthritis in my joints, fought with my insurance company for me. I had my joints replaced in June 2009 and have had NO pain since. I truly owe them/him my life.

Many people have not only lost hope, but they feel betrayed when it comes to healthcare . He is a prime example. Betrayed by doctors who took an oath to "do no harm," yet ignore the harm that was done, and continue to utilize what judgemental opinion they may have verse to listen to the patient and assist them in how to address the issue .Many professionals assume no responsibility for their patients, in my case, but rather blame them for the treatment failure, and/or abandon them, leaving them in some cases with no care. It is a painful situation for a person to depend upon a protector who is at the same time a harmer. If you reject the harmer, you lose the protector. I would highly recommend a doctor who asks "what can I do now to make it better?', or how can I help you." A listener, Unfortunately, I rate this doctor -1stars due to treatment and follow up from him. Don't waste your time to see "the best" because he is by far in the best of the patient's interest.

Best dr I've had. He explains things well. He talks to me like a person or a number. He helped fix my tmj when I felt like I was hitting a brick wall with poor outcomes. A little worried when he retires what I will do with my major tmj issues. He is a great dr and surgeon.

Dr. Sewall is pretty knowledgeable and took time to speak with us. However, the billing department is terrible. I don't know what's going on here, but you would think that an oral surgery clinic would know how to deal with dental insurance. My daughter went here for an exam for wisdom teeth removal. He suggested they NOT be removed at this time. Amount for these services is close to $700.00. Now I have a bill for surgery - WHICH WAS NOT PERFORMED! Will not go back to this place.

I called 6-8 times to get more information and schedule a procedure Dr. Sewall recommend and never got a call back. Dr. Sewall was nice, but save your time and money and go to someone else.

a very experienced doctor with a gentle touch! I brought 2 of my children who needed dental procedures, and the care they received from Dr. Sewall was beyond expectation. Dr. Sewall is an outstanding doctor who truly cares.
