Surgeon Testimonial

Daryl A. Stewart, M.D.
I had the DS with Dr. Stewart on March 5th, 2008. My first impression of him was that he was very serious about wls and about getting all of the facts about wls to his patients.

I feel that as I have gotten to know him, he not only is a wonderful surgeon but is funny and has a great personality as well.

Most of his office staff is wonderful, and I feel like part of a family every time I have gone there.

What I liked best about him? Can I say his eyes?

He has a great aftercare program and really seems to care about his patients after surgery.

I would recommend Dr. Stewart to anyone, and have to several friends and family members.

I think surgical competence is more important, and although I have heard from others that Dr. S lacks in bedside manner, he has shown me a side of him that I really could get to know and love.

    Best wishes, Kristi, for a textbook surgery and a speedy recovery. If the O.R. staff ask about feathers in the operating room just smile knowing it was because your switch sistahs and brothas were swinging chickens for you. Sandy

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 (16 ounce) package Dreamfield's elbow macaroni
  • 9 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup shredded Muenster cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream 
  • 8 ounces cubed processed cheese food
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
 

 

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 minutes or until al dente; drain well and return to cooking pot.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons butter; stir into the macaroni. Transfer to a lightly greased deep 2 1/2 quart casserole dish.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the Muenster cheese, mild and sharp Cheddar cheeses, and Monterey Jack cheese; mix well.
  4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  5. Using the pot from step 2 melt 4 tablespoons butter, slowly add heavy cream stirring constantly, add cubed cheese food and 1/2 of shredded cheese mixture, stir until it has a smooth consistency (don't forget to taste liberally at this stage it is SOOOO yummy!)
  6. Add all but 1/2 cup of the remaining shredded cheese to the pasta mixing well and then pour your melted cheese over the pasta, mix well, spoon yourself out a small bowl.
  7. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese mixture and 1 tablespoon of butter.
  8. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes or until hot and bubbling around the edges; serve.
  9. Enjoy the small portion you spooned out while you wait for the cheese on top to melt and the whole thing to set together.
