Patient Testimonials

Dr. Lewin has been my cardiologist for twenty years. He known me since I was in my mom's stomach. He is respectful, kind, empathetic, caring, intelligent and overall a amazing human being. He is the reason why I am alive today. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be alive. Before I was born, my heart was having issues. After I was born, Dr. Lewin found out that I had a hole in my heart, so at 11 days old I had my first open heart surgery. The cardiac surgeons fixed the hole with a patch. When I was six years old, the patch was leaking so I had to go in for my second heart surgery so the surgeons can fix it and they did. Dr. Lewin is the type of person that will make sure your heart is strong and healthy! He cares for the people's well being and he will make sure that your heart is doing amazing. If he notices something wrong with your heart, he will make sure that the cardiac surgeons or the cardiac catherization team fix it so the heart is all better. I am almost 21 so I now have to find a different cardiologist that works with adults but that's alright because I know Dr. Lewin will find someone that will take amazing care of me and my heart. I will forever be thankful for Dr. Lewin and the amazing work he has done. I will miss him. If anyone needs a cardiologist that will do amazing job of taking care of you, Dr. Lewin is the one.

I have no words to describe my appreciation for Dr. Lewin. He has been seeing our little for the past 2 years. His bedside manner is excellent. He is very empathetic and genuine. We were thinking about relocating to a different state but decided no to because we do not want to be seen by another physician.
