Dr. James Lewis, MD

Convinced me risks associated with LASIK were remote and not serious. He performed my LASIK poorly resulting in blinding me completely.

Caused complete blindness as a result of routine procedure.

Dr. Lewis just performed my LASIK surgery using a brand new femtosecond laser. The results are unreal! I can see everything. The entire experience was calming, supportive, and professional. I was blown away by the technology. I also want to give a shout out to Pat (Dr. McManamon).

Worse and most bizarre medical experience ever! Waited 2.5 hours, then politely mentioned the long wait to Dr. Lewis. His response? “You don’t belong here. Get out.” He wouldn’t inform me about his diagnosis or talk to me. I told him I was just trying to provide helpful feedback. I asked him to at least give me his diagnosis. He refused and said he would no longer talk to me and left the exam room. I was stunned by the doctor’s thin skin and arrogance. So uncaring and unprofessional! Avoid this rude, I’ll tempered “doctor” like the plague.

I am so grateful to Dr Marcus Devlin (Spring House Eye Associates) for recommending that I visit Dr James Lewis in Elkins Park. Due to cataracts, my eye sight was gradually declining every year. On my first visit Dr Lewis and Dr McManamon clearly and thoroughly explained the corrective options available for my condition. After researching the options I decided that I wanted to see as good possible. Dr Lewis personally helped me acquire the Symfony intraocular lenses that are now implanted in my eyes. The result was, no more glasses and amazing overall eye sight improvement. While it is a serious personnel commitment to go through the entire process, in the end, it was a life changing experience. It has made a significant improvement in my quality of life. Anyone considering cataract surgery, why not go with the best - James S. Lewis, MD Highly Recommended.

Each time I have visited Dr Lewis’s office, I have been treated with the utmost care and compassion. Dr Lewis is an outstanding eye doctor, and the other members of his staff are excellent as well. My exams have been thorough and I am kept well informed as to findings. I truly feel that I am part of the team, not just a patient. The young lady who handles insurance problems is caring and thorough as well.

Thankfully

My experience with Dr Lewis was wonderful. He is a well-qualified surgent that provides the best care with a lot of professionalism and concern. He was able to reconstruct my eyes and alleviate my fear of having eye surgery. His staff is very professional and has a caring attitude as well. My eyes have been repaired with perfection and Dr Lewis was able to do so in spite of my apprehension and fear of surgery.

Dr. Lewis and his team were thorough in evaluating and mapping my eyes for the PanOptix lenses to replace my cataract clouded lenses. They checked the size, shape and prescription, and re-checked, and re-checked again to ensure that the new lenses would be the correct ones to be implanted. At surgery time, Dr. Lewis was very reassuring by saying the words "we're going to take good care of you". The surgery time was quick, only about 10-15 minutes and everything Dr. Lewis said would happen, did happen. My new implanted lenses gave me clear, sharp vision at far distances, mid-range distances and close distances. After wearing glasses and contact lenses for 50 years, I did not need them anymore - because Dr. Lewis not only cleared up my cataracts, but also gave me 20/20 vision with these newly implanted lenses. Dr. Lewis is a conscientious, competent, caring and re-assuring ophthalmic surgeon. He changed my life.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Lewis and colleagues for nearly 10 years. I’ve found the practice to be friendly, highly competent , and responsive to my needs. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality care. Sincerely, Krist Comfort

excellent

I met Dr Lewis in March of 2021, and Dr. Lewis has giving me an new outlook on my Life and my Vision. I went from using an Cane(For the Blind)to Reading without my thick Glasses and putting my Cane away for the first time in Years! I cam see the features in my Husband face and everything in clear in my Left Eye. I will never see out of my Right eye( Do to a Eye issues I was born with.) )Dr. Lewis and his staff(That's right Staff too! Because a Doctor is only as good as the People that stand behind him.) I would definitely and have recommend Dr Lewis for this kind of Eye Surgery(Cataract)and/or consultation. Thank You Dr. Lewis and Thank you for your Wonderful Staff as well.

Truly exceptional service by everyone I encountered. I had my LASIK in May 2020 and had 20/20 vision immediately after the surgery. Recovery was quick, and not to sound cliche, but I should have done it years ago! Price is straightforward and very reasonable. Staff was courteous, knowledgeable and answered my many questions patiently. Offices are well equipped and staffed properly. I will most definitely recommend to all my family and friends.

Dr, Lewis did my cataract surgeries with Panoptic lenses. I am extremely happy with the results and am now glasses-free after 64 years. My impression immediately before and during the surgery is one of his complete competence. I would strongly recommend him to others who need this surgery.

I am 27, and have had terrible vision since I was about 9 years old. A friend of mine - a dentist - recommended I see Dr. Lewis. What I found was the BEST DEAL not only financially, but in terms of the AFTERCARE and TRUST IN THE TEAM. Forget these other companies like Lasik Institute or other groups who use bait-and-switch tactics to make you feel like you're getting a "limited time offer". I remember sitting down with those other groups and having a salesperson say "This is my best offer". Excuse me? This is my ocular health we are talking about! Lewis Lasik skips the financial drama, they have a very affordable flat rate. I am VERY PROUD to be able to say that I went from needing glasses to do virtually anything, to a cool 20/15 eyesight. I have a new appreciation for life and the inherent details to the world around me - without the fog or faint smear that never wiped off my old glasses. I am recommending my friends to go there, because being able to see is such a blessing.

Mt experience with cataract surgery by Dr. Lewis was excellent. The practice is well managed and efficient. Waiting times in the office for examinations are short. Everything was made quite clear to me by Dr. Lewis regarding what to expect. Mu case was difficult due to previous Radial Keratotomy surgery and astigmatism in both eyes. The surgery was very efficient and also totally effective and exceeded my expectations. I can see at distances without glasses and also read without glasses. Grade A++

Received cataract surgery from Dr. James Lewis in September and must say everything was Excellent from start to finish Dr Lewis and Dr.McManamon recommended the new pan optic multi focal lens all I can say is WOW ! First time in 40 years I'm eye glasses free I couldn't be happier with the outcome I would highly recommend Dr. Lewis and his staff and I would like to thank Dr.Marcus Devlin for referring Dr. Lewis to me

Dr Lewis operated on my father and he hasn’t worn glasses since. Dr Lewis is the most talented surgeon in our area. He is a perfectionist and a caring doctor. I send everyone to him for LASIK, cataracts, and glaucoma. His team of professionals makes the entire process an uplifting experience.

Thank God for skilled surgeons like Dr. Lewis. My wife and I experienced incredible results after our cataract surgery. His entire staff were polite and helpful. Dr.Lewis even improved the sight in my left eye despite an old injury to the retina. Immediate post surgery requirements went smoothly . Thank you to Dr.Lewis for making me useful again and being able to enjoy many more beautiful sunrises.

I am glad I choose Dr. Lewis to perform my LASIK surgery. My results are outstanding and the care and service I continue to receive is first-rate. Everything about the office inspires confidence. They are thorough, meticulous, and caring. I recommend him to all my friends and family because he runs a boutique practice with a top notch surgical team.
