Dr. Lewis' Family
I came from a rather big family with 5 of us in total. I’m the oldest of 2 sisters and 2 brothers and the only one that went into medicine in the footsteps of my Great Grandfather. I am married to my wife Jennifer and have two awesome little girls that keep me busy in my free time.
Fun Facts
I am nearly 100% Scottish background. Although my last name is Lewis my family is most direct in lineage to the MacLeod clan. As a young boy my Grandfather would take me to Scottish games and yes, I did have a kilt!
In addition to being a cataract and eyelid surgeon, I’m a bit of a technology geek. I build my own computers and have them overclocked and modified way beyond any functional reason other than the ability to say I did so. If there is new technology out there, i’m always interested.
I’m a fairly accomplished handyman! I love to work with my hands. I’ve designed and built some of the furniture in my home. I do my own auto and home repair. Everything from replacing an alternator to tile, plumbing, and wiring. For good or for worse, I would rather fix or make something myself than hire someone to do it for me.
Favorite Things
I love sailing and although I am rather busy with work, I try to accomplish as much sailing as I can muster. I have sailed in the Pacific in 30 foot waves and river piloted down the Columbia river and across the infamous Columbia river bar. One of the most dangerous stretches of water in the world!
I enjoy tropical gardening and since moving to Florida now get excited about finding a rare varigated Monstera deliciosa or a new Hawaiian Heliconia. My yard looks like it came from Jurassic Park!
My favorite food is crab.
I am very happy with Dr. Lewis He is an excellent surgeon and did a great job on my eye lids!
I appreciated that Dr. Luis answered all my questions and seem genuinely concerned with my issues. He took his time and did not seem to be in a rush, even though the office was busy. I greatly appreciated that.
Very nice
Dr Lewis gave me the amazing gift of my sight back, he and his staff made it such an easy and calm process. My 7yr old granddaughter is almost as excited and greatful as I am because I can once again pick her up from school or take her to a beautiful park and see her smiling face for the first time in MONTHS as she plays!! I feel very blessed to have Dr Lewis as my surgeon .
I was concerned about the pain in my left eye , he told me I just needed to increase my eye drops. Thanks
