112 Millennium - A Marquis Who’s Who Magazine MEDICINE, HEALTH CARE AND WELLNESS Dr. Gary M. Stewart boasts nearly three decades as a dental expert. Having recently retired from full-time work as a dentist in 2021, he currently serves as a consultant for Delta Dental, where he audits treatment plans and dental implant cases. He was inspired to pursue a career in health care by his mother, a registered nurse, but was uninterested in joining a large hospital or practice. To wit, he instead preferred operating independently. This desire for autonomy led him to pursue dentistry instead of medicine. In 1996, Dr. Stewart began his own practice, Gary Stewart DDS Inc., where he served his patients both as a dentist and as the company president. In addition to long-range planning and executive functions, he handled clinical cases for general and preventive dentistry patients, as well as restorative and implant cases. During his time as president, the company grew to two locations with two additional associates. Dr. Stewart considers this expansion to be one of the highlights of his professional career. As a part of his commitment to his industry, Dr. Stewart maintains his affiliation with several pertinent organizations, including the Academy of General Dentistry, the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, the American Dental Association, the California Dental Association and the Orange County Dental Society. Furthermore, he remains active in medical missions and charitable outreach. Accounting for his accomplishments, Dr. Stewart is particularly proud to have provided care to patients in the Dominican Republic, including routine screenings and several complex interventional procedures. These included trachelectomy and adenoidectomy procedures, experiences that were deeply fulfilling, as Dr. Stewart and his team were able to provide critical dental care to those in less privileged communities. He credits his success to his persistence and determination to always give his best effort. In the coming years, he plans to travel more, with plans to return to the Dominican Republic for outreach work before taking personal trips to China, Japan and Israel. GARY M.
