The wait time in the room was a little long and the physician spoke a little too fast, but overall his care was excellent and was extremely knowledgeable.

I really like the doctor. He was really good and I would recommend him to any of my family. Yes, he's really, really good. Thank you.
October 10, 2024
Provider did not listen, would interrupt me and not let me finished talking. I would not go back to this doctor. I did appreciate the straightness but not the way he would say things, so cold.

The parking lot was a mess, not enough parking. This made me late for my appointment.

Doctor was abrasive and I was not explained the risks properly and I now I'm having a reaction to my treatment
October 02, 2024
Actually, after seeing the pain management physician orthopedics called me the following day I believe and set me up an appointment the following day and everything has fallen into place. I'm very grateful for the care I received from the entire facility of PIH in the hospital for 45 years. I definitely know what superior care is and I want to thank you.

Dr. Lewis is very right to the point, but very professional.

I don't have any problems with the doctors at the hospital. I've been with them for 1 year and I've never had any problems. I go to the hospital when I have any little thing. Thanks.
September 05, 2024
Dr. Lewis' clear, concise explanations made my decision easier. I am happy to be in his care.
September 03, 2024
Hi, the only thing I was disappointed is you have to wait so long to see a doctor. When I had my problem, I wanted to see him then and there. And they gave me a two-month appointment, just about, and my knee was no longer swollen or painful. So it helps to bring the patient in when they're having the problem. Thank you.
August 30, 2024
The Dr was very informative and courteous. The staff was also very friendly and helpful.
August 29, 2024

Everything was excellent, very good service, very satisfied with the service. Thank you very much.
August 09, 2024
Dr Lewis is a wonderful physician. Very kind and will explain things in a simple matter and give you choices of how to proceed with your care. However, the wait time is ridiculous. I was waiting in the patient room for an hour before he came to see me. This is the only negative thing I really have to say about him.
August 08, 2024

Dr Lewis is the best
August 01, 2024
My experience with Dr. Lewis was mostly positive. However there was a few times that he would interrupt me when I was trying to explain something. I felt rushed to finish our session. I guess he was behind and was trying to catch up. Well my appointment was at 2:30 and didn't see him to almost 3pm.

Wait time to get cortisone shot after speaking w/ Physician took a while.

Great staff.
June 21, 2024
Dr. Lewis was very kind, he listened, and extremely helpful. He took my daughter in to see her the same day that we called to get an appointment. It was a Friday. He didn't want to have her wait for the weekend to see her the following day or the following week. I really appreciated his help as well as the receptionist who assisted on the appointment. I forget her name, I believe her last name was Luna. She was also very friendly and very helpful. I appreciate all the service at his office.
June 18, 2024
I think I pressed a 1 by mistake on one of my replies, and I apologize for that. It should be a 4. So there aren't any negative replies on my account. Thank you.

Yes, my name is (PHI removed)0 I just want to say, yes, most definitely Dr. Lewis was accurate, and professional in giving, he provided me with all the words and the care that I needed, when he was on Fourth Pavilion coming to see me. And he would actually come and see me now and then, to see how I was doing and explain to me what was going on, and also giving me comfort and actually maintaining about my hand what was going on and, as the days went by. Thank you.
June 06, 2024
Always have a pleasant (but painful/cortisone LOL) experience here! Really like Dr. Lewis and his whole office.
June 05, 2024
It was a very long wait to be able to see Dr. Lewis. It took me almost three weeks. Something has to be done to get appointments earlier.
June 04, 2024
Dr. Lewis is very nice and knowledgeable and helpful and I appreciate all he's doing for me.

Dr Lewis explained my options thoroughly.
May 31, 2024
Dr. Lewis has. been my orthopedic doctor for over 30 years. I trust him----his experience, his skill, his knowledge, his.expertise---implicitly and totally!
May 28, 2024
Dr Lewis seems to really care about you as a person . Kind and caring and throws in some humor.
May 03, 2024
I felt like I was battling the Doctor to inform him of my medical history which lead to my visit in his office. He would cut me off a lot. He also spoke in a manner which felt as if he was diminishing my concerns. For me, it felt like he was telling me that my issues were in my head. I honestly felt belittled. Especially since I had been seeing other doctors who had seen me at my worst prior to this visit. I hope my future visit is more compassionate and respectful. It feels awful to not feel functionally normal, and it feels even worst to fear what type of doctor is going to be greeting you behind the door.
April 23, 2024
The doctor helped me with my Decision on my shoulder surgery.. answered all questions to help me make the right decision... thank you
April 16, 2024
Never gave me the results of my last blood test. I had to ask, after two in office appointments, about my blood culture to see if I had an infection in my leg following knee replacement surgery.
April 16, 2024
Dr. Lewis and his staff have been a fabulous plus to my health team. I enjoy seeing him. I enjoy his time with him. He explains things to me that I can understand. I truly appreciate him. Thank you.

April 10, 2024
Thank you
April 10, 2024
Customer Service department who handles appointment calls is terrible. My average wait to make a appointment has been between 15-30 minutes wait time. This needs improvement.
April 10, 2024
Nice office, pleasant campus!
April 10, 2024
Very professional
April 09, 2024
The nurse seemed frustrated with me because I told her I had gotten x-rays recently for my knee but in actuality it was my back. I was tired. I had not slept well that night. I can understand her frustration but a little patience would been appreciated. The doctor had an intern with him. The doctor asked me if the intern could give me the cortisol injection. I called the office today because my knee and leg is more swollen and in more pain after the injection. The doctor was not in. The person who answered the phone said they left an urgent message but no one called me back.
April 04, 2024
Dr. Lewis, Thank you for listening to my health concerns.

March 29, 2024
He was very kind, very helpful, very understanding, and I really like that new doctor I got to see.
March 29, 2024
I didn't feel as though it was a rushed visit, being that it was my first time. It felt as though I couldn't explain myself like I wanted to. With both medical staff who brought me to the room and she also asked if my problems were due to work related that I shouldn't be there. I don't know what my pain was coming from. Also, felt a Lil rushed with the Dr. I felt as though he talked more than I could.
March 26, 2024
The staff and doctor explain everything in detail. Awesome customer service
March 19, 2024
The doctor was very good and everybody was very nice and helped me. My problem was I accidentally at the end recommending the doctor I put no and it should be definitely yes for. So I just wanted to correct that. Thank you.
March 15, 2024
No improvement needed. This is (PHI removed). And I am so grateful, courteous, kind, caring, compassionate, professional, knowledgeable, and care so much. And I am so grateful. I am grateful. I appreciate so much, Dr. Lewis. Thank you, thank you, thank you . And my family appreciates it. Thank you.

Dr Lewis was excellent and he was very kind and listen to my feeling regarding visit. He gave me choices on his finding and allowed me to pick one.
March 06, 2024
Now, I felt very comfortable with the doctor because he spent enough time with me and listened to me about what I suffer from with my bone pain and I was very happy to see him and I was very comfortable with him and I recommend what to do. He is in the same situation that I went to the doctor who is a very good doctor, he explains very well, you take the best care of him and for me he is a very good and very honest doctor and you can trust him.
March 06, 2024

Dr. Lewis is great. His nurse is always great too!
November 30, 2023
The nurse said we're going down here and just walked. I was left to feel like I had to rush to keep up with her. In the room she asked why I was there and when I was telling her she basically cut me off. She wasn't pleasant at all. When she left the room I said to myself wow The doctor was great.
November 30, 2023
Dr. Lewis is very dedicated. he listened and checked the affected area. I am very comfortable with him...to me it means I shall heal.
