James R. Stewart, Jr., D.D.S., P.C.

My mother has been a resident of White Pine Advanced Assisted Living for almost a year. I can only express my great appreciation for the holistic care my mother receives at this facility. Ann Maciej and her entire staff work hard as a team on a daily basis. The medical care is very professional. All my mother’s medical and social life needs have been met. It is easy to obtain daily services. The place is kept very clean and is decorated with great taste. My mother feels very safe and loved there. The daily meals are tasty and nicely balanced nutritionally. There are daily activities organized for residents such as bingo, movie night, uno or yahtzee games which are well planned by a professional occupational therapist. The smaller size of the building helps to create family like atmosphere among staff and residents. I would recommend White Pine of Fridley Assisted Living to anyone seeking excellent care for their loved one. We are very grateful to White Pine of Fridley for all their care, smiles and kidness to all residents! Keep up great work!!
Sincerely,
Marta and Henryk

My sister and I toured a lot of Memory Care places. We were drawn to White Pines, because it looked so fresh and clean and Memory Care had activeties planned all day long for the people which we didn't see at other places. The nurses and aids were professional and always treated everyone with compassion and dignity. I learned so much watching everyone with my mom. This was a new process for us and I want to give the nurse Kia, a special thank you! She really listened when we had questions and always carried through with concerns. I loved visiting my mom there and enjoyed everyone! Dementia is probably the hardest event the residents have gone through in their lives and White Pines Memory Care does an excellent job caring for residents and help them feel safe.

This second review is from my sister, Lori Jacobson:
The staff at White Pine Memory Care are phenominal! They show constant love, caring and support to each and every resident. The staff have a lot of knowledge about dementia and are able to meet the resident and family exactly where they are at with process. I want to really give a big shout out to Nurse Randi, she is Excellent! Every day I saw her, she was Amazing with residents and family! White Pine Memory Care is very homey, the rooms are a great size, the whole place smells Wonderful, very clean, the food is Great and the residents really like all the activities. They are very dedicated to comfort, good care and safety for the residents. Our whole family was so happy to find a place like this for our mom.

I cannot praise the services of Dr. James Stewart and his staff highly enough! After a very disappointing two year attempt to get a new oral appliance, I was referred to Dr. Stewart by my Sleep Disorders physician. Even. In the midst of the pandemic, my initial call was responded to immediately and a plan developed for my eventual treatment. Efficiency is the hallmark of this practice. Online forms allowed me to provide the relevant preliminary information so that insurance matters could be addressed before my first visit.

That level of efficiency and expertise was even more evident when dental offices opened again and I first visited the practice. Before I left that day, xrays and images were taken of my mouth, options for the oral appliance discussed with me and molds done. Within the month, the appliance was ready for my initial use. As another example of attention to detail, Dr. Stewart and R made certain in subsequent visits that the appliance was working effectively and answered all of my questions about its use.

If one is looking for a Dentist with patience, concern for cleanliness, efficiency and expertise, Dr. Stewart’s practice should be made a priority!

I've been with Dr. Stewart for 10-plus years and he's the absolute BEST! The staff is great, too!

My mother was a resident at White Pine Memory Care in Fridley. Our experience with the staff and facility was outstanding. The staff were professional and treated us like their own family.

My mother was always treated with dignity and respect, and our family knew mom was in a very safe and loving place. The activities were appropriate and well planned. I enjoyed spending time with my mother during visits from local musicians. I visited often and she was part of a loving community.

The food was tasty and the staff handled meals very well. The building is one level which is nice. The patios and backyard garden allow you to get outside and enjoy nature. The onsite beauty salon is a plus.

Having doctor visits on site helped mom get the best medical care without worry of transport.

I highly recommend White Pine based on our experience.

So happy with the staff. Not only do they perform their jobs professionally, but they do it with respect and compassion for the residents. My father has been there now for almost 5 years and so happy he refers to white pine his HOME. They treat him very well and do a great job of meeting his individual needs. I couldn’t be happier with my decision 5 years ago to bring dad here.

My loved one lived at White Pine in Fridley for over a year and was always treated with kindness by everyone. That's important. The one story layout was so much better than stairs & elevators. There was privacy and socialization, whatever your preference. I'm trying to think of negatives, and I'm not coming up with anything. It seemed like a nice place to live. You got the help you needed and it was competent.

After our daughter was finished with orthodontic work and had her braces removed, we had a local dentist perform cosmetic bonding on her to make her small, pointy teeth fuller and fill in the gaps in her smile. We were unhappy with the results and the proportions of her teeth, and the bonding was already beginning to chip after a few months. Additionally, she has very sensitive teeth, and despite that the procedure is not invasive, the filing and buffing to smooth out the bonding was actually quite painful for her. We came to Dr. Stewart to see if anything could be done to correct the problem. Dr. Stewart and his staff were incredibly friendly and attentive and very accommodating with our tight schedule. Dr. Stewart was meticulous in his examination and actually took impressions of her mouth to render a wax model on which he carefully simulated the application of bonding material. Based on this Dr. Stewart was also able to give me a written estimate of what needed to be done, tooth by tooth, and also what it would cost. The removal of all old bonding material and application of new material took four hours, as he anticipated. He used local anesthetic to keep her comfortable during the entire procedure, and she left very happy with a beautiful smile that looks absolutely perfect. Thank you Dr. Stewart and staff!

Great Dentist. My wife started visiting Dr. J. Stewart for Sleep Apnea related issues. He has been thorough, caring and effective. I had gum related pain which he resolved it with a great technique. I recently had a grinding teeth issue, so he made a bite-splint and now the jaw pain is gone! Plus, all the staff are a plus and friendly - from Britney (Hygienist), to Rachel (Dental Asst.) and Lisa (Reception).

I’ve been coming here for years and I take my dad here for his dental work. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Also, the staff is helpful and friendly every visit. My dad had all of his teeth completely replaced with dentures because he’s 93. He’s so happy and can eat any and everything!! Dr. Stewart is so kind and caring and even came to meet us at the office when we had an emergency after hours.
