Dr. Lewis was kind, efficient, professional listened to my concerns and was patient in allowing me to ask questions. I was glad to finally get my eyes checked and will be happy to see her again in the future.
Dr. Lewis is extremely knowledgeable, patient, kind, and thorough. She spent a good amount of time asking me questions to understand my health history, vision issues, and expectations before my eye exam. She is an excellent, well-trained clinician who, in only one visit, diagnosed an issue that had been preventing my vision from being corrected with either glasses or contact lenses for over a year. She carefully explained my vision problem and partnered with me to come up with an ideal treatment plan. I am excited that, as a result of our plan, my vision will stabilize, and I will finally be able to obtain the lenses that I need to see better! I am relieved and grateful to have found Dr. Lewis and plan to have the rest of my family see her as well for all vision needs. She truly goes above and beyond to provide the best of patient care.

The provider was super accommodating, friendly, and very helpful. I was really stressed about the eye pain I was experiencing and she was incredibly thorough and made sure to let me know before she did anything so I wasn’t caught off guard.

Great provider!
Verified patient
Dr. Lewis was great! The office was under renovation but seemed very small. The machines were not all working and the practice felt old. After my appointment I went to explore ordering glasses but I was informed that the eye care section didn't take my insurance and only the doctor did. I felt a little tricked because why would I assume it was separate? Either way, Dr Lewis was great just wish there was more upfront info about the practice versus the eye care section as well as updated machines, etc for her to use.
