Academic Title: Associate Professor

Research Center: Center for Clinical and Translational Research

"Before becoming a pediatrician, I was an infant and pediatric nutritionist. I liked my job but wanted to be more involved with children and their families. This led me to pursue medicine. During my training as a pediatrician, I saw that children who were poor or who had special needs often had serious dental decay; it was difficult to find a dentist who would care for these children. My research interest in oral health disparities developed from this experience. As a pediatrician at the Craniofacial Center, I provide medical care for children with craniofacial birth defects and also focus on children’s feeding, nutrition and oral health."

Dr. Lewis is wonderful. She has been my son's pediatrician at Children's Craniofacial Center since he was born 11 years ago! She is kind and patient with the kids. Always walks in the room with a smile. Takes the time to listen to parents' concerns and and answers questions, as well as listens to the kids. She does a complete assessment on the patient, noting every detail. She picked up on issues with my son that other doctors ignored, and acted on them right away, probably saving my son's life twice. I am so grateful for the care she has given my son over the years. Thank you, Dr. Lewis!
