Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I just need to exercise and lose weight
She walked in, saw I was younger and immediately asked why I was there. I've worked hard with my previous providers who have now moved out of state to get my heart rate down in the 70-80s without dropping my blood pressure too low(it stays around 100/70). I told her it's been gradually increasing into the 90s and 100s and before I could continue she told me that's normal and I just need to lose weight and exercise more, 45 minutes every day. I told her I pass out when my HR gets too high for extended periods of time and asked for forms of exercise that hurt less when you pass out. She said just take extra meds when I feel like its going to be a day where my HR gets too high. Then I reminded her another reason for visiting was that my rheumatologist suggested a check up. She said she would order an Echo, to which I reminded her I did one there last week. She took a peek and said everything looks normal and she will see me back in 6 months. I asked for a different doctor at checkout.

My initial visit to Dr. Lewis was because a well- known Screening company indicated that my right carotid artery had a moderate blockage. Dr. Lewis was knowledgeable, thorough, attentive, kind and personable in her testing and diagnosis. I was elated that the Screening company’s report was incorrect. I would highly recommend Dr. Lewis for your cardiology issues.

The kindest, most caring of any doctor I've ever known. My husband and I could not love her more if she were a blood relative. A wonderful cardiologist.
