has anyone been to this guy?
Hi knackers323, I have not been to see him, but I know someone who has. He is good but not cheap, and he is now training two new doctors to treat ME/CFS. Most importantly, he is in close collaboration with KDM, who comes to Melbourne regularly. Bye, Alex
Dr Lewis is very committed, does his best and more
I have just been taken on as a new patient at Dr Lewis' clinic, and will be seeing one of the new doctors. So far I've just seen the nurse for the first appointment. I've just had the required lactose intolerance and fructose intolerance tests done - it had never seriously occurred to me that I might be fructose intolerant, I really knew nothing about the condition. Turns out it's a big problem for me - even just this little bit of information is enormously helpful. I'm looking forward to my first appointment with one of the new doctors next week.
I have been a patient of Dr Lewis since 2009 also. I could not agree more with the observation made by Tony. He is interested in the science, and his patients well being. He is very dedicated, compassionate and a lovely human being. I was fortunate to have a great GP, but I was having to educate him. When I sat down with Dr Lewis for the first time - I felt a great weight lift. Here was a doctor that not only understood all about ME CFS, but had knowledge about most of my troubling symptoms and with a nod of the head, to each one -acknowledging how common they were and explaining the biology associated with them. I no longer felt like I had to actually prove I had these strange symptoms. In fact, it probably would have been bizzare to him, had I not reported such. Finally I could sit back and be a patient and not be focused on research, educating my GP and driving the consult. After many years of having done this - to be able to give this up, was wonderful and gave me hope that I might make real in roads into clawing back some health. On that level, I have not been disappointed.
