Easy to understand and caring

Because he answered my questions regarding my health.
-
When told to lose 10lbs he suggested breathing more and starving myself.
-
Dr Lewis has been our family physician for decades and cares for us as a family member.
-
Dr Lewis is always very attentive and always follows up my bloodwork to explain my results
-
Because he is not a doctor who actually cares about your concerns. He did not address my actual health concerns, he refused to do my testing I asked for his bloodwork. And he told me verbatim to not eat for 15 days - which I would essentially starve, he said I should only eat “5 bites of a bar, 2x a day with only water or coffee.” He wants all of his female patients to lose weight. I’m not the only patient of his to be a victim of abuse- there are reviews of this doctor all over the place stating the same thing. I hope the medical board sees this and does a serious investigation.
-
The Doctor is doing his best to try to make me as healthy as possible. Sometimes he overlooks more day to day things, while focusing on just one or two more specific things. Overall he is friendly and wants to make sure I'm as healthy as possible.

He is caring, warm and sincere.
-
That’s My Opinion

-
Dr lewis is great but the insurance limits his success as a doctor.
-
He is very kind, thorough and knowledgeable
-
He is great, provided helpful information and advice regarding my health in a concise and easy to understand manner

I believe Dr. Lewis is one of the top doctors in Southern California. and probably the only doctor who has written an important book/pamphlet on the benefits of controlling your weight, and specifically a program on how to control your weight. He understands the benefits of a healthy lifestyle, and keeps himself in top shape. Patients can see that Dr. Lewis practices what he feels is the basis for good health. It's uplifting to visit Dr. Lewis, a feel-good visit, because he's a splendid listener, and the essence of following his advice is a huge winner.
