Richard A. Lewis, MD

What an amazing experience for us. We started with our nurse and vitals and some additional background info collection. Then our resident met with us, asked me questions, conducted some cool assessment tests, talked about next steps he was very efficient and pleasant to meet. Then the main event when Dr Lewis arrived and discussed my case / health. He asked great questions and then did some diagnostics. He then shared his thinking about my health. It was most reassuring and set me at ease as to the severity of the diagnosis. I felt valued, listened to and he patiently took time to answer my prepared questions. What a fantastic experience. Once Dr Lewis left, we then met with a wonderful Physical Therapy expert. She conducted additional tests, and like everyone at Cedars Sinai she provided great insight and her assessment. Once again reinforcing my confidence that my diagnosis would not result in serious impact to my lifestyle. She recommended additional exercises to consider. Then we met with an external orthotics expert. Like each person before him, he exhibited great listening and assessment skills. I really appreciate his advice and consideration for what it would take to visit his offices. Unfortunately the only person not available was ill yesterday. We will connect with her once she is back to work. I can't stress enough that we felt yesterday was a wonderful experience. We will be back in a year or so for another appointment to assess my health. Thank you Dr Lewis and team.

Dr Lewis was outstanding.We had seen three other neurologists at different facilities and Dr Lewis didn't agree with their findings to solve a debilitating episode I frequently experience.He gave me hope and another avenue to pursue to help me live a better life.

Since there Is no cure for ALS our options are very limited. Dr Lewis recommended I come to his ALS clinic, which we are waiting to hear when.

Dr. Lewis was interested in my health issues. He listened to me, answered my questions, and explained everything to me in a manner I could understand. I was extremely impressed with his knowledge of CIDP, and the symptoms related to it as well as other like diseases. I can't say enough to explain the positive impression I have of Doctor Lewis. He is an excellent example of what every doctor should be. I was fortunate to have been able to see him.

My condition is a little confusing and I think the doctors were a little confused by it as well. I had more questions to ask that were of a smaller but real concern and I don't think we really got to that but the bigger ones were and I always felt like I was getiting extremely competent care.

Dr Lewis knows his stuff. He's a pretty straightforward guy which may turn off some patients but I appreciate his no nonsense approach.

He did not really listen to me because he knew what he wanted to do, did not describe them beforehand, and he was not at all happy with me when I did not follow instructions that when I did not know what was expected.

At times Dr. Lewis seemed anxious to move on so we felt a bit rushed initially in our call. In the end he slowed down and was quite knowledgeable and helpful.

The physician relied on prior nerve conduction study that does not rule out neuromuscular disorders. For example I asked to be tested for small fiber neuropathy and was told by the doctor that because the treatment for SFN Is the same as for fibromyalgia there isn't real reason to do that test". I've been promptly dismissed after 6 months of waiting for this appointment. This visit was a waste of my time.

Seeing so many doctors/specialists take at least 2 hours. As my ALS progresses, this is increasingly a lot of time on top of the long walk from the parking to the offie. Since nothing much can be done to help me, perhaps you could exercise more discretion as to how many different specialists need to see me.

Dr. Lewis showed concern for my issues and has my trust that he will evaluate all my records and come up with a plan. He is the first neurologist that has actually taken the time to evaluate and admit that my issues have gone on too long,

I am a long-term patient with CIDP and we've kind of established what works and what doesn't. However I have moved and there were questions regarding treatment should I need it since my move. That was going to have to be determined and I'm hoping I do hear back.
