My experience was very reassuring that I was in good hands, and very professional. My doctor also took time to explain to me what was going on and how I was going to get better. Calvin Sims

very professional
Dr Lewis is always thorough and responsive. I went in with an issue and left with a plan to resolve it.
Pleasant, careful, uncrushed, reassuring visit providing guidance for dealing with presenting problems. Highly recommend this "Real Doctor" and his office.
Planning one's colonoscopy is not exactly an activity to look forward to. But Dr Lewis makes it pretty stress free. Also very pleased with office visit; seen right away - no waiting, and all the pre-test prep was fully explained is simple terms.
Dr. Lewis explained an issue I've been having that other doctors could not figure out and was both sympathetic and informative as always. I cannot recommend him more highly, and he runs on time!

Excellent dr knows his stuff and has great bedside manners. I would recommend him highly
Dr.Lewis is caring and so very experienced and knowledgeable .You feel you are in good hands when you are his patient.
I was having stomach pain and leaving town the next day for a month. Dr. Lewis' nurse got me in to see him that day, he arranged for me to have an abdominal scan the same day – actually immediately following the visit. Everything was normal. I got the result when the scan was done and Dr. Lewis called me the next day as well. He's also an excellent listener.
Dr Lewis takes time to speak to you, and listen to your concerns. He's very tech savvy and up to date on all medical issues. Love this doctor! Worth the inconvenience of getting to his office. He's smart, punctual, caring. He should teach doctors how to run their business and treat their patients.
Dr. Lewis was wonderful and attentive and answered all my questions.
Everything went smoothly and easily, right on time and as expected. Dr. Lewis is the consummate professional, intelligent, knowledgeable, skilled, caring and compassionate.
