Dr. Stuart Announces His Retirement

Dr. Stuart retired effective September 30, 2025. The Women’s Group will maintain Dr. Stuart’s patient records and The Women’s Group physicians and APRN are available to see patients who were cared for by Dr. Stuart.

In August 1987, I accepted an opportunity to come to Pensacola to practice OB/Gyn. I was blessed in a number of ways. First and foremost, I hired an exceptional nurse, Sarah, which was one of the best decisions of my professional life. Patients were not “mine” but “ours” and she helped me build a practice. We were blessed to have so many wonderful patients over the years who put their trust in us to provide the best obstetrical and gynecological care. I deeply appreciate the privilege you gave us. Many of you came to be our friends and fellow travelers in life’s ups and downs and our journeys, in many cases, have lasted decades. I will miss you as I move into the “golden years” and my wish for you is that your lives be filled with peace and happiness.

Many of you have asked me to recommend a doctor for you from our practice. I am reluctant to do so as the one and only blind date I engineered in my lifetime turned into a disaster. Therefore, I recommend you read the biographies of the other physicians and nurse practitioner in our practice in the Provider section of our website and choose one that appeals to you. I have complete confidence in all of my physician partners and our nurse practitioner and know that you will be well cared for by them and all of the staff of the Women’s Group. Brenda, my current nurse, will remain with the practice and can assist you with your transition to another physician/APRN. I love you all and will miss you dearly.” - Sid Stuart, M.D.
