Dr Lewis is absolutely fantastic! She is one of those few doctors that folks rarely have the privilege of providing their specialized health care. Between her and Dr Alyssa Steitz, I could not be in better hands. It is because of them I am now in remission of my membranous nephropathy. I cannot tell you how thankful I am to Dr Lewis and Dr Steitz. They are caring, professional and personable which is rare to find in health care professionals. That is, outside of Vanderbilt. In fact, these traits seem to be instilled in each health care professional I have encountered at Vanderbilt.

Dr Lewis, as well as Dr Steitz are FANTASTIC doctors. They are extremely caring while being extremely professional and have almost gotten my kidney failure into remission! Words simply cannot express how grateful I am to Dr Lewis and the whole staff at Vanderbilt Clinic and Hospital.
