About Stewart Family Orthodontics
THE HISTORY OF OUR SMILES
The endless knot used in our logo is an artistic symbol of a strong bond created by weaving together different parts to form something that’s stronger than the individual pieces alone. And that’s how we feel about the partnership between Dr. Dan Stewart and his patients. Our traditional Celtic symbol, representing the long tradition of orthodontics we have in this community, has been designed in a bright contemporary color palate, representing the practice’s look to the future. The phrase “where exceptional is the rule” speaks to the standard that we set for ourselves and our practice every day. We don’t want our work and your experience to be just good, we want it to be exceptional. That’s the rule here that we live by. We look forward to many years in partnerships where exceptional is the rule.

Brenda has worked alongside Dr. Stewart for over 12 years and is a highly skilled orthodontic assistant. Outside the office, she enjoys caring for her home and spending time with friends.
Yukie has been a dedicated member of our team at Stewart Family Orthodontics for 17 years. She enjoys traveling and cherishes time spent with her grandson, Oliver. Yukie’s warmth and experience make her a valued part of our family.
Kathleen has been in dentistry for over 25 years and with SFO for the past 3 years. She has a beautiful family with 3 kids and 5 grandchildren. After work she enjoys spending time with her husband Eric and cuddling up with their Bernese mountain dog, Samson and a good book.
Daisy loves spending quality time with her family, discovering new places to eat, and surrounding herself with all things pink. She’s a sweet and caring person who values connection, kindness, and making others feel welcome.
Ayriell is a proud Florida native. When she’s not at work, she loves doing hair, cheering on her son and daughter in their sports, and creating fun TikToks. She enjoys outdoor activities like fishing, tumbling, and playing competitive soccer and football with her son – and she’s known for throwing down in the kitchen!
Brandy enjoys doing nails, baking delicious treats, and soaking up the sunshine. When she’s not exploring new hobbies, she’s likely caught up in a true crime story – she loves a good mystery!
Deb, our friendly scheduling coordinator, is originally from the beautiful Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Tobago. She’s been a valued part of the Stewart Family team for 5 years. Deb loves traveling, exploring new places, and line dancing in her free time.
With 26 years in orthodontics, Kim brings expertise, energy, and a big personality to our team. She loves getting to know patients, making them feel at ease, and chatting through every step of their smile journey. When she’s not at work, she’s with her beloved dog, Branch – her partner in crime!
With over two years of keeping our orthodontic office running smoother than freshly polished teeth, Hailey is the go-to for all things organization and operations. A former track star and ACC champion, she now jumps through schedules and logistics instead of sandpits. When not at the office, you’ll find her rollerblading around town or exploring new corners of the world – usually with a big smile and some loud music playing in her headphones.
Dana has been a proud part of the orthodontic family for over 20 years and truly loves what she does. Outside the office, she’s often near – or in – the water, enjoying activities like kayaking, swimming, and soaking up the outdoors. She also loves cooking, exploring new restaurants, decorating, and listening to a little (okay, a lot of) Taylor Swift.
Dr. Stewart is the proud owner of Stewart Family Orthodontics and has been passionate about creating perfect smiles since he was young – yes, even before braces were cool. He’s truly living his dream, one smile at a time. Outside the office, he keeps up (or tries to) with his wife, Jolene, and their three athletic daughters, who keep the family calendar packed and the laundry endless. When he’s not cheering from the sidelines, you’ll find him offshore fishing or jet-setting around the world—usually in search of sunshine, seafood, and maybe a gym.
We’ve Built Our Schedule Around You
BECAUSE WE WANT YOUR TIME IN TREATMENT TO BE A GREAT EXPERIENCE…
Making your appointments with Stewart Family Orthodontics is easy. Whether it’s for a new patient exam, or part of treatment already started, we’re just a phone call away. And you can schedule at either our Lakewood Ranch or our Bradenton orthodontic office easily by calling either office. Once you’ve made that appointment, our automated reminder system will tell you the details of your upcoming appointment, and more importantly that we can’t wait to see you!
- Most of your appointments can be scheduled at a time that is most convenient to you
- A few special appointments (braces on, braces off, etc.) can only be scheduled during morning hours, we will try to accommodate your schedule as best as possible
- If you miss a scheduled appointment, just call us as soon as you can and we will do our best to reschedule you as soon as possible. It might not be an optimal time, but we will surely do the best we can
- If you have a cleaning appointment with your dentist, please let us know when you schedule it. A lot of dentists like the wires removed for cleanings, so you will need to schedule an appointment to stop by and get the wires removed then another appointment to get the wires put back in
- Need assistance after hours? If something breaks, feels uncomfortable or if an appliance is lost, just call us. We will assess the situation and get you in here as fast as possible!
