Anne Stewart, M.D.
Board Certified in Family Medicine
Board Certified in Holistic Medicine
Dr. Anne has a passion for the prevention of disease through the artful practice of medicine. She offers personalized nutrition and wellness plans, drawing on the benefits of food, vitamins, supplements, herbal therapies, homeopathy, mind/body techniques, and bio-identical hormones. As a dedicated family physician, Dr. Stewart ascribes to the health and healing of the whole person within the integrated context of his or her life. This encompasses medical issues as well as the psycho-social aspects of living, nutritional well-being, and spiritual beliefs. At Loudoun Holistic Health Partners, Dr. Stewart uses both traditional and complementary medical techniques, utilizing in-depth history and physical exam combined with up-to-date laboratory and imaging modalities for use as diagnostic tools.
As a Magna Cum Laude graduate of James Madison University, she attained her Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology. She earned her medical degree at Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, Virginia. While there, she was president of her class for four years, in addition to receiving the Norfolk Foundation Merit Scholarship. She was the proud recipient of two prestigious awards in medical school, the Lloyd C. Damsey, MD Memorial Award and the M. Oliver Kepler, MD Award. She was also granted membership into Alpha Omega Alpha, an honor society for students in the top 10% of their class.
After a well-rounded journey exploring the specialties and pursuing additional education in complementary therapies, Dr. Stewart found great reward in Family Medicine, leading her to residency training at Moses Cone Hospital in Greensboro, North Carolina. While there, she trained under an integrative cardiologist, a pharmacist specializing in bio-identical hormones, an integrative family practitioner, a naturopath, and many others. She was also fortunate enough to spend a significant amount of time studying under Dr. Andrew Weil in Arizona. Her commitment to the practice of integrative medicine is one with roots which far pre-date her formal medical education. She has been practicing holistic medicine since 1999, in addition to writing newspaper articles for local organizations and lecturing to medical professionals and communities. She finds integrating is the most effective way to meet the complex needs of her individual patients. She is joined by a warm staff and a nutritionist Staci LaRue.
When she is not taking care of patients, she is enjoying time with her husband, Dr. Dave Stewart, and playing with their three children and their three cats. Dr. Anne is especially passionate about finding new fun ways to leave a lighter footprint through recycling and reusing resources and conserving energy.
David Stewart, M.D.
Board Certified in Family Medicine
Dr. Stewart grew up in Virginia Beach, VA with his mother (Carol), his older brother (Billy), and his younger sister (Shannon). He attended Virginia Tech where he graduated Cum Laude with a B.S. in Biology. He attended Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, VA where he was elected to Alpha Omega Alpha, the national honor medical society. He completed a family medicine residency program at Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital in Greensboro, NC and went on to complete a Sports Medicine Fellowship at the same institution.
The most significant accomplishment of his medical school career was meeting and becoming engaged to Dr. Anne Stewart. They attended residency together in Greensboro where their love of working together grew stronger. During residency their children Abigail and Baker were born. Dr. Anne, Abby, and Baker are the lights of Dr. Dave’s life.
Dr. Dave’s journey to holistic medicine included professional experiences and personal ones as well. The early days of his career were spent practicing as a traditional family physician. In his busy days of 7-minute visits, there were, regrettably, many prescriptions written for statins, antibiotics, and the like. However, he realized that very few of his patients were actually getting well. They seemed to continue to acquire medications and ailments that led to more medications. All the while, Dr. Anne had begun her practice of integrative medicine and was having great success in actually healing patients and reducing their medication lists. So Dr. Dave began to seek holistic training and used his wife as his guide. When Dr. Dave’s own health began to suffer, he achieved wellness by following the same recommendations he makes to patients today.
Today, Dr. Dave attends conferences about holistic medical care with a wide range of topics including, natural treatment of hormone disorders, natural treatment of thyroid disorders, natural treatment of diabetes, etc. His professional goals are to master the understanding of, and natural treatment of, the endocrine and immunologic systems of the human body – as these two systems are at the root of most chronic dysfunction and disease.
Dr. Dave works hard to establish a partnership with his patients. This relationship is built on mutual respect, compassion, and bilateral accountability. He stresses the importance of life balance and nutritional integrity as the pillars to achieving and maintaining wellness.
In his spare time, he is an avid runner and has completed 2 marathons. He has a long-distance love affair with the ocean which he acquired from his grandparents, Gigi and Billy. And, while he is a fervent Virginia Tech Hokie fan, he is an even more insatiable fan of Anne, Abby, Baker and Benjamin.
