Comments from Dr. Lewis:

"I enjoy practicing with a full spectrum of patients, ranging from OB to newborn, pediatric, adult and geriatric medicine. I think students will like the opportunity to not only see all types of patients, but also to participate in the specialty colposcopy, alternative medicine and surgery clinics run by our own Family Practice staff. I have specialized training in adolescent medicine and I am trained on colposcopy and flexible sigmoidoscopy."

Comments from Students:

"This site was great for lots of experience with chronic, follow-up problems like diabetes, hyper-tension, COPD. Staff was great. "

"Dr. Lewis gives great feedback (whether you want it or not). He also gives the students many opportunities to give him feedback about himself and the clinic."

"The pace was just right. Lots of experience with preventive med and health maintenance. Opportunity for alternative medicine and procedures clinic experience."
