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 Lewis always returned my calls regarding my Mom in her 90’s when she was hospitalized. He spoke to Mom with kindness and respect. He had compassion and would discuss her age in the treatment options but never discounted her value because of her age. Dr Lewis is an outstanding Doctor and an exemplary human being.

Great Doctor!
I have been a patient of Dr. Lewis for over 12 years. He has been attentive to my illnesses and medical concerns. I was highly recommend him as a family doctor for anyone who needs a caring and concerned physician. His staff is very friendly.

5 Star Doctor
I have been a patient of Dr. Lewis for 8-10 years now and he is such an awesome physician!! He has exceptional bedside manner, is kind, and caring. He is a good listener, and takes care to answer all of your questions/concerns...your time with him is ever rushed. As he does have quite a number of geriatric patients who may be slow in remembering all of their concerns or taking a little time before understanding something Dr. Lewis may have said to them. This does cause him to spend lengthy amounts of time with his patients and makes for lengthy wait times sometimes but it's well worth it!! Rest assured that when your turn comes, he will spend a considerable amount of time with you as well. The staff are helpful, friendly, and very professional. I don't think you will find many doctors like Dr. Lewis...he is one of a kind!!

I was recently referred to Dr. Lewis when my previous doctor of 45 years retired. I was very close to my former doctor and therefore was devastated when I had to find a new one. A friend recommended Dr. Lewis and I am so happy that she did! Those feeling of despair and sadness were quickly dissolved. He is very similar to my previous doctor—takes time with each patient; thoroughly explains everything; kind; knowledgeable; and overall caring towards his patients. I feel like I’m still with my old doctor. I can not express how big of a heart this doctor has towards his patients. If you do not give Dr Lewis a chance, you are really missing out on a caring, smart, gentle doctor!! Make your appointment. Your body will thank you!

I have been a patient of Dr. Lewis’ for about 8 years. I recommend everyone I know to him. My mother, step- father, best friend, and boyfriend are all now his patients. Dr. Lewis extremely knowledgeable and personable. He has helped me through so many health issues, both physically and mentally. I will never see another GP until he retires, and I will keep referring him. He is a great doctor and a great human, and I am better for knowing him.

I was recommended to Dr Lewis. Had been patient for a few years nothing long term. Dr Lewis was very knowledgeable, professional, cool down to earth. Not sure with covid-19 and pandemic when rules change and not communicated. I really don’t appreciate the care I have received as if I have outstanding balance or not ever paid my visits in full. I am a pediatric nurse , I am very aware of e-visits, telephone, telemedicine, etc, I also expected to be informed so I could have made the decision. I am a cash patient because I prefer my physician to dictate my care not what an insurance criteria

Dr Lewis is a fantastic doctor! Very thorough. He is straight to the point. It's Just the staff he has working for him that can be very rude. A family member stopped seeing him due to the rudeness of his staff. Don't get me wrong there is one lovely young girl there that I wish her politeness would rub off on the phone girl and the rest of the rude ones. Truly considering a new doctor search. Dr. Lewis doesn't understand how many patients he is losing due to his staff's attitude. Such a shame.

Dr. Sheldon Lewis is not only a very caring, compassionate healthcare professional but, extremely thorough and knowledgeable. He leaves no stone un-turned when he examines you which is very important! He spends time talking with you to gather pertinent information necessary to make a sound diagnosis. Dr. Lewis never rushes through treating his patients which is also important. I trust him with my life and would recommend him to everyone I know!
