Review for Dr. Lewis

I felt at ease the second I was officially in his care . From the staff , nurses , surgical team , and aftercare . I hope someone at the top realizes this team goes above and beyond . No matter my outcome , I know this doctor cares about me and each of his patients . It was like a giant family...

Dr. Lewis is always cordial and makes you feel at ease. He is always knowledgeable about my case and treatment of my eye problem. He always has suggestions and ideas about how to manage my eye care. I will continue to see him with any eye issue.

Review for Dr. Lewis

Dr Dallas is very smart, works with older adults and is a guru of diabetes, but he has the mentality of House the Dr on TV. Do not question him, his treatments, do not self explore to educate yourself. He is the Dr and has the medical degree...his words to me
