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.

Dr Lewen and the members of his practice are member/patient focused and personable and engaging. Skilled, and engaging I’ve received exceptional care that has made a significant difference in remediation of vision problems I had for years. I would strongly recommend this group based on my experience.

Had my first appointment with Dr. Lewen this afternoon. I found him to be trustworthy, knowledgeable, caring, and easy to talk to. I was very nervous but found his demeanor to be calming. He examined my eyes thoroughly and explained my condition to me. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a retinal specialist.

I was referred to Dr. Lewen as a precaution for a possible retinal detachment. Very thorough, explained why I was having symptoms, and addressed all of my concerns. All doctors/surgeons should take a page from this doctor’s book on how to treat patients. Excellent patient care. I highly recommend him.

Excellent experience with Dr Lewen. Had severe bleeding in left eye 20 years ago. He operated and all has been well since. I very recently (about 2 months ago) had severe bleeding in right eye. He operated and sight has returned to normal. Very good at explaining every step - the whys and hows of the surgery. Super bedside manners. Jack Layton April 2016

Dr Lewen was excellent. Extremely knowledgeable. Very thorough, Explains in detail his findings and what procedures he recommends. Very easy to take with. I was referred due to a rental tear. Dr Lewen did testing and confirmed there was a tear. Did a laser procedure to repair the tear. Absolutely no discomfort or problems. Complete office visit took less then one hour. Office staff excellent.
