Dr Rachel was professional and spent time educating re: my dry eyes problem. Dr. Lewis is amazing and the office staff is wonderful! read more

4 stars.... love the doctor and nurses tax, etc. but the front desk clerks could be a little more professional. They seem kind of disengaged and in their own little chatty world. read more

My husband and I saw Dr. Lewis for the first time yesterday after a change in insurance made us choose another opthamologist. We were a bit leery about the switch because we had been seeing our former Dr. for quite awhile, but this is an excellent switch! Dr. Lewis' staff was knowledgeable, helpful and very caring. Melinda has an instrument to measure pressure for a glaucoma check that is far superior to the "old" way of doing it. The Dr. was knowledgeable, interested in our past history and what we needed, and extremely caring. We are very happy with the switch! read more

I was referred to Dr. Lewis by a former patient of his, and with good reason. You can find tons of positive information about Stuart Lewis on Google, but I'll review just my experience. I had 4 visits including my LASIK eye surgery. The Dr. was at every visit (except where I had to go to a different location for eye measurements) and he answered all my questions along the way. At every single appointment, I was taking back at exactly my scheduled time and Dr. Lewis even took me back once himself for work that his assistants would normally do because they were pretty busy. After qualifying me for surgery, the Dr. explained all my different options regarding the types of LASIK I could have, and strongly urged that I opt for the latest and greatest bladless technology. I had my surgery on a Thursday morning at 9, and by 9:30 I was seeing perfectly. I was sent home with tons of information, a bunch of different eye drops, and a number to call if I had any questions. I think it's important to note, that not only was the Dr. well qualified, he seemed to only employ very friendly and qualified staff who could help answer any questions I had. This was the single best medical experience I've ever had (dentist, doctor, or otherwise). I highly recommend this Dr and his staff. read more

Stuart A Lewis, MD, FACS - Ophthalmologists Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Been going to Dr. Lewis for 28 years and he has performed a number of surgeries for me -- Lasik, cataract repair -- along with the usual annual visits and I have always found him and the staff to be excellent in every way: a great doctor, attentive, empathetic and most helpful. I always refer friends to him when asked, without hesitation. read more

Dr. Rachel Lewis was so thorough and thoughtful in figuring out why my vision was askew even after the prescription was correct. I am grateful for her persistence and am seeing better already. Lea at the front desk was amazing and so kind and caring and educated me greatly. read more

Seeing Dr. Lewis since 1995. He has performed 2 Lasik and cataract surgery. Very happy with all results. Professional and friendly with great customer service from staff. Will continue to see Dr Lewis for our annual checkups. read more

I've been going to this office for years. Office staff is very friendly and wonderful. Dr. Gray is vey knowledge and answers all questions. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for an eye doctor. read more

I had severely high myopia (-12.5 in one eye, and -14.5 in the other). Wearing contact lenses all day, every day, was starting to be a real annoyance in the dry Denver climate. Obviously with my very high myopia, I was not a candidate for LASIK or PRK, so I reached out to Dr. Lewis' office to ask about cataract surgery, aka clear lens extraction, aka refractive lens exchange. From my very first call to his office, I was really impressed. The admin who answered my call was very knowledgeable about all the different options. She described the costs associated with Phakic IOLs vs lens replacement. Clear lens extraction surgery is done under local anesthesia, which was terrifying to me because I have nystagmus. I was like, "How can anyone replace my lenses if my eyes are moving all over the place?!" I had my consultation with Dr. Lewis, and he wasn't worried about this at all. He said he would administer a nerve block to stop the eye movement during surgery. I chose to move forward and schedule my surgery with Dr. Lewis because he was so confident. I figured, hey, he's not worried, so I shouldn't be, either! I appreciated that Dr. Lewis didn't promise me impossible results. Because I have nystagmus, my best corrected vision (with contact lenses) prior to surgery was about 20/100. Dr. Lewis made sure I understood that clear lens exchange surgery wouldn't give me 20/20 vision. I was like, "I know; I just want to stop being so dependent on contact lenses." I like that he was realistic and helped me manage my expectations. Dr. Lewis met with me during me pre-op eye measurement appointment. I expressed that I didn't feel confident in the measurements the tech had gotten for my left eye, as my nystagmus was going crazy during the measurements. He had a different tech redo those measurements just to be sure, which really put me at ease. On the day of my surgery, I asked him, "Are you nervous?" (because, right, it's not every day you operate on someone whose eyes are darting around like frightened guinea pigs!) and he said, "No, I've done this surgery thousands of times." Again, the fact that he was so confident really helped allay my anxiety. I had my surgery four weeks ago without any complications, and now I can confidently give five stars to Dr. Lewis. He has been awesome every step of the way. I couldn't have chosen a better eye surgeon! read more

I was disappointed in the "bedside manner" of the staff here. My daughter has trouble with getting her eyes dilated as well as with the machine that looks at the back of the eye- and the nurse was clearly frustrated and down right rude to her. She literally said "You are way too big for me to have to hold you down." My daughter is 14, and I felt like this was disrespectful and demeaning. I will not be returning as the experience made her cry and was completely avoidable. A little compassion would be nice. read more

Really? Seriously. Your Ophthalmologist gets 5 stars? You bet he does!! Been a patient of this practice for almost a decade. Dr. Lewis is exceptional - only once were things not quite right and he will not settle for that. (I've had eye doctors before who have said "oh you'll adjust" and that's absolutely not his style. He won't let you walk out until you're perfect). Complementing Dr. Lewis' 5-star care is a staff that's unmatched - don't roll your eyes, I saw that. You're used to your OTHER practice - with the gum-chewing, fresh-out-of-vocational-school staff ... oh no? Then it's the chirpy, ultra-professional, conveyor-belt practice types, right? This is NOT who you get at Cherry Creek Eye. I absolutely LOVE the staff here. They're competent, service-oriented, and downright fun. (An eye appointment can be fun? Oh heck yeah it can.) Oh....and they all understand that even at nearly 40, I'm terrified of that stupid glaucoma test. And they don't point and laugh at me for it. Professional, experienced, and most-of-all, caring - the staff feels like family. I guess that's why I've referred 3 generations of my family to this practice. read more

I just had my follow up with Dr. Lewis today. It's been almost a year since my lasik surgery and I just have to shout it out from roof tops that he is AMAZING. I had SEVERE astigmatism with thin corneas. I had a highly recommended doctor reject doing my surgery saying it was too risky years ago. Technology has come very far since then but my hopes were low when I starting looking into it again. I had no recommendation, just did a lot of research. His credentials were the best I could find and I just had a good feeling about him. I had to trust my gut and I will never regret it. Just to reiterate how complicated my eyes were, they were off the charts as far as what the new iLASIK, bladeless machine could accommodate. Dr. Lewis had to manually(? - not sure if that is an accurate description) program the regular LASIK machine in order to do it. Anyway, long story short, I now have 20/15 vision and I see him as one of my angels. Not only did he fix my eyes, he did it in one try with no complications whatsoever. I have literally broke down in tears at the realization of how well I see without my dorky glasses that i have worn since 7th grade. I KNOW that not just any doctor could have achieved what he did. He is very thorough and uses the most advanced equipment to measure and diagnose your eyes to a tee. This does add cost, but it also makes your correction even more accurate. The cheaper places that herd people through don't perform some of the important eye mapping and tests that he uses. It was worth every single penny and the extra assurance that your are in the best hands is priceless anyway! Oh! and they went out of their way to set up CareCredit so that I could use it to pay for my surgery. I will never go to a different eye doctor and highly recommend him to everyone I talk to! read more

The wait time on this particular Tuesday was a bit long, but I felt that the treatment was thorough and very professional. Thank you Dr. Lewis and staff for the good work you do. read more

Always professional always friendly. Always helpful with questions. I never feel rushed. He is a fabulous doctor and I highly recommend

Every time I have been to this eye MD I have waited an hour past my appointment time to see a physician. The tech staff are very nice, but the MD was rude. I specifically asked when making the appointment how long I should allow so I could manage my schedule accordingly. They said max time would be one hour that I would be there, more likely 40-45 minutes. I approached the front desk staff when I had been waiting an hour past my appointment time to say that I would have to leave as I had to get to work and had not even seen the MD. The MD rounded the corner and they indicated they could now see me. I explained that I literally had to be going. No apologies, just a "ya we got really backed up". Mind you, I specifically heard the staff say that if a patient was more than 15 minutes late they would need to reschedule. I am a health care provider and understand that seeing patients on time is very important. This office needs some serious overall management focusing on customer relations! Unfortunately I will be looking for a new provider. read more

I have an eye condition called keratoconus for almost 10 years. This condition causes very poor vision and is a challenge to correct; often requiring very special and uncomfortable contact lenses. Until a couple of years ago, I had been using an eye care professional local to Boulder. When he relocated his practice out of state, I started my search for a new eye care physician. After considerable research, I found Dr. Stuart Lewis in Cherry Creek. Dr. Lewis has a reputation for successfully treating keratoconus patients which was important in my particular case. I live in Boulder, CO which is almost an hour drive to his office. Even though this is not always convenient, I have found the trip well worth the time and effort. Dr. Lewis immediately showed sincere interest in improving my condition. He and his staff are skilled in the latest technologies for treating my condition, and have had great success; my vision has been the best it has been in many years. Several months ago, Dr. Lewis discussed a surgical procedure that might could improve my condition even more. This procedure involved surgically implanting intacs into each eye to reshape my cone shaped corneas. The procedure was scheduled and performed (each eye was done at a separate time). My vision will always require correction to see clearly, however after the procedure, my vision is noticeably improved even without any correction. Prior to this, I was completely contact lens dependent; once I removed my lenses, I could not do too much. After this procedure, I can now easily function in my home without lenses....even watch TV (albeit not completely clear). Another important point is that my right eye is now correctable using a standard soft contact lens! My left eye has always been the most challenging. Historically, I was not able to see clearly at distance from this eye, even with the special contact lenses. After this procedure, my vision is improved quite a bit, but still requires a special contact lens. Due to the improvements made from this surgery, I was able to be fitted with a Synergeyes hybrid contact lens and I now have the best vision from that eye in many years. (Clear vision at distance). Dr. Lewis and the entire staff at Cherry Creek Eye Center have been wonderful through my treatment. I highly recommend them for any vision needs, especially if you are suffering from keratoconus. I would be happy to discuss my experience with anyone considering this type of procedure. read more

I had my laser eye surgery done here. Dr. Lewis and his staff are amazing. They are professional, friendly, and super efficient. I received the best care imaginable. I highly recommend this facility to everyone I know. read more

I saw Dr Lewis for Visian ICL implant lenses and now I see better than 20/20. Going into it I WAS TERRIFIED! I probably called his office 20 times with questions between my evaluation and scheduling the surgery. And then a bunch more afterwards! Previous to the surgery, I had about a -12.00 prescription. I have also had many laser treatments on my retinas due to retinal holes (from being so near sighted.) All this to say I didn't take my eyes for granted. However, I never saw well with glasses and my eyes and the dry Denver climate were no longer allowing me to wear contacts. I had seen a different doctor previously for an evaluation a couple years before but I didn't like the feel of the place. The other place made me feel pressured into it and they glossed over any risks. Dr Lewis acts like I think a doctor should and that's why I went ahead and had to procedure. The gave me the "here are you options, here are the risks" talk. No pressure. The implants require 2 procedures. First, an iridotomy, where they use a laser to make an invisible hole in your iris so the implants don't negatively effect your eye pressure. Second, the actual surgery to implant the lenses. Some people said the iridotomy was the worst part, but I thought the actual surgery was worse (probably because I had refused certain medicines in my IV because they make me crazy sick.) Neither were fun, this is eye surgery after all, but it was oh so worth it. The only negative has been some glaring from the iridotomy, which while I can still see if I really pay attention, I don't notice anymore. Dr Lewis warned me that glare had the potential to be an issue in my case, and I was really sad when it appeared, but now I don't care. I'm getting close to 9 months post-op now and am really happy. read more

I went there because I have a special eye condition and they were one of the few places that treated it. After 5 visits I still have not been fitted correctly. The office staff is nice but very disorganized. They never know where I am in the process and do not call me when my contacts are in, making it very hard for me to know what is going on. If you are looking for customer service I would go elsewhere. read more

Over the past 7 years I had some issues involving my eye sight. Dr. Lewis has also had solutions that worked. His staff is extremely efficient and they always leave room in their schedule in an emergency situation. Best of all, following the various treatments I have had including cataract and eye muscle surgery, at 60+ years old, Dr Lewis has given me the gift of perfect vision! read more

This place runs like a million dollar watch. The folks upstairs are truly a team. To me that is very important. They have a system and that system works. Absolutely no problems as a new patient. Fill out the forms and let them do the work. They make it happen without problem. The folks downstairs are also a great team. Each has the experience that is needed to get the job done. Mt eyes are just about the most important part of my body. I had complete confidence in this surgical team. Again, organization and professionalism is the key. Truly a wonderful experience . read more

my appointment with Dr Lewis was scheduled for 1:30 today.I arrived promptly and filled out the necessary forms as a new patient. Imagine my surprise when after waiting that I was to see Dr Gray; it seems Dr Lewis doesn't work on Wednesday. I was NOT told sbout this; Dr Gray is an optometrist NOT an opthalmologist. read more

I've moved from Colorado, but have never since found an eye doctor I trust as much as Dr. Lewis. He's taken care of my whole family, including grandma's cataracts, my dad's refusal for bifocals, etc. Fantastic, knowledgeable, kind. read more

My name is Noah Pittard. I'm an attorney and entrepreneur in Denver and I first met Dr. Lewis three weeks ago when I accompanied my wife to his office for a pre-op visit for an eye surgery she was having. At the end of our meeting, I ended up talking to Dr. Lewis about Lasik and was impressed enough by his knowledge and confidence that I scheduled a follow-up appointment for Lasik screening. To make a long story short, I ended up getting Lasik from Dr. Lewis four days ago and I am thrilled with the results. The procedure was amazingly quick and not nearly as scary as I thought it would be. I just relaxed and focused on my toes and the whole thing was over in about twenty minutes. In any event, I would highly recommend Dr. Lewis to anyone and would be happy to discuss my experience with anyone who is interested. Dr. Lewis will give you my phone number if you call his office. read more

Having always had very poor eye sight (extremely myopic) from age 3 years "on up", over the past 2 years I was faced with increasingly worsening eyesight. After visiting my ophthalmologist TWICE in 2010 for fading/ blurring vision, he informed me that the cataract which he had told me about in 2009 had indeed worsened and needed to be removed. . . I immediately went into "anxiety-mode": I thought, "oh no, I can't have my precious eyes operated on-- What if things don't work out? What if I lose what little sight I do have?" Needless-to-say, I "sucked it up" and searched for a physician to do the surgery. I saw Dr. Stuart Lewis's bio on their website, called and scheduled an appointment. Well, here I am, 2 weeks post surgery (surgery on 1st eye done the first week of January) and I find myself IN LOVE WITH LIFE, all because for the first time in my life, I CAN SEE, and SEE VERY WELL! The SUPERB SKILL and CARE, WARMTH and FRIENDLINESS shown me by Dr. Lewis as well as his staff has been beyond anything I could have imagined or anticipated! I never knew the beauty and brilliant colors of the world before now! Never have I known such DETAIL in even the simplest objects. Dr. Lewis gets "two thumbs up", a "5 star" rating and my eternal gratitude. read more

Dr Lewis and staff are great, I was having eye issues and they fit me in right away. All of the staff go out of their way/ very personable to make sure you have a quality experience. Rare to find these days, thank you! Will be coming back and referring others read more

I have seen Dr. Lewis since he has been in practice. I have received only the greatest of care from him and his staff! I have gone through my 60 years with Anisometropia (one eye far sighted and one near sighted) which lead to Amblyopia as a child. This difference in my two eyes were 5.5 dioptres, which basically is too much difference for the brain to handle without corrective lenses. I have struggled over the years, but found glasses and contacts took care of the problem to a great degree but still had problems. I had learned about lasik surgery years ago from Dr. Lewis but was very apprehensive and fearful my already poor vision would get worse! I have had so much anxiety over my eyesight over the years that when going out for the evening I would make sure I had an extra set of contacts or eyeglasses in case I lost the pair I was wearing. Going on an extended vacation was worse! I finally had lasik surgery on November 17, 2011! OH MY GOSH!!!! That very afternoon I was out of glasses and contacts! Dr. Lewis had told me for years about the benefits of Lasik, I only wish I had done this sooner. The wonderful care I have received from his office and his staff has made this entire experience immensely gratifying. I only wish I had done this sooner. read more

After moving here from Pennsylvania, I needed an eye doctor and surgeon to treat my cataracts. I couldn't have chosen a better physician. Dr. Lewis and his entire staff were fabulous. They answered all my questions and concerns. I had my cataracts removed and an intraocular lenses for astigmatism implanted. I was truly impressed that Dr. Lewis discussed the financial implications of an upgraded lenses, rather than assigning that to his staff. Honestly, it's truly a miracle how much better I can see, and within hours of the surgery. Not only that, but the follow up visits were impressive, in that both the surgery center called to make sure that everything went well and then Dr. Lewis checked to make sure of placement of the lens, eye pressure, and whether I had any concerns or questions. I asked him how many of these surgeries he has done and he estimated over 10,000. If you want a knowledgeable, well-qualified and professional eye doctor/surgeon, I highly recommend Dr. Lewis. read more

Dr. Lewis and his staff are excellent. I highly recommend this doctor. I had not been to an eye doctor in a very long time and I was scared. They made me feel at ease. I've been wearing cheap drug store glasses for the last few years. I though they would let me know how bad that was but instead they treated me in a non judging manor. They were kind and caring and answered all of my questions. read more

I have been to different eye Doctors/Clinics in Denver and never felt satisfied that I could rely on the team to treat me and all my future needs. I luckily found Cherry Creek Eye Clinic and Dr. Lewis and now feel that I have come home. What a staff; friendly, professional and caring. People are not exaggerating when they say that the staff stands out! Latest equipment is a plus! go without worry! read more

Dr Lewis is the best eye Doctor in town. After going to other doctors, he analyzed my vision, suggested cataract surgery and my vision was taken care of. Today, I can finally see normally and appreciate what he and his outstanding staff did for me. I will be his patient for as long as he is in practice. read more

I have been going to Cherry Creek Eye Physicians and Surgeons for 3 years since moving to Denver for regular optometry visits. Recently I decided to have LASIK with Dr. Lewis and could not be happier. Every time I visit the office, both for optometry and LASIK the office staff have displayed excellent customer service. The staff is very approachable, friendly and informative. Any questions/concerns I have had regarding my vision are immediately answered/addressed without hesitation or any unnecessary steps. Specifically regarding LASIK, the results are what speak for themselves. I went from 20/550 to 20/15. I could not be happier and would absolutely recommend Dr. Lewis and Cherry Creek Eye Physicians and Surgeons to anyone. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Lewis since -- well, forever. At least 20 years. He is unfailingly professional, yet warm. His staff has been with him a long time, and if they don't reflect his standards, they don't stay. The office is full of laughter and caring. He doesn't leave the exam room until he has answered all of your questions, and he doesn't stand at the door while you ask them, either -- he stays seated until you're done, then shakes your hand, and THEN stands up. I had 20/800 vision and was just OVER contacts and glasses. Dr. Lewis performed my LASIK about 13 years ago and now I can't even remember that "other life." I can swim, ride roller coasters, and even back up the car without worrying about something falling off or out of my eye. And my vision? 20/20! I could not be more pleased. read more

I was impressed with Dr. Lewis and his staff.  While I only visited for a routine check up, I appreciated him taking the time to thoughtfully answer all of my questions.  His office staff was also great, working with me to clear up some confusion about the charges. I'll continue seeing Dr. Lewis in the future. read more

My Visian implantable lenses are the best thing that's ever happened to me. It's been a miracle! I've had bad vision since I was 5. Years of glasses, contacts, dry eyes, lot's to pack, worrying about losing a lens, not being able to see the clock at night and so one. My thin corneas didn't allow me to qualify for other corrective procedures. My vision is now perfect. Dr Lewis and his staff in Denver are amazing! I trust them completely, they understand how import your vision is. I would recommend this procedure and Dr. Lewis to anyone. There was very little pain and no problems. The procedure was quick and easy. I was even able to speak to the Visian rep about my experience while he observed in the operating room. The only drawback was some light sensitivity. I'm so incredibly happy I did this. It's been a huge confidence booster and brought a lot of ease, convenience & greatly improved my daily life. read more

Dr. Lewis and his staff, Lea and Pete in particular, are great. Dr. Lewis has been my ophthalmologist for 5 years and he recommended the Visian ICL procedure for vision correction. I wasn't a candidate for LASIK and thought I would likely wear glasses/contacts for life. But after I did some research on Visian ICL, I wanted to proceed with the surgery. During the weeks leading up to the procedure, Dr. Lewis and his staff answered any questions I had and alleviated any concerns. The most difficult part of the process was not wearing contacts in the weeks prior to the procedure and the initial dilation drops used to determine if I was a candidate. The pre-op YAG procedure and the actual Visian ICL surgery were quick and relatively painless. Immediately after Dr. Lewis completed the procedure, I could see clearly. It was truly remarkable. Words can't adequately describe how great it felt to see clearly for the first time in my life (I've worn glasses since Kindergarten). Since the surgery, I have not experienced any pain, dry eye, or halos. My night vision has vastly improved and colors seem enhanced. I couldn't be happier and I can't thank Dr. Lewis enough. I would highly recommend the procedure to anyone and I would definitely recommend that they have Dr. Lewis perform it. This was a life changing event for me. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Lewis for decades. He instills such confidence that when he said I was a candidate for multi-focal lens, I had no qualms at all and proceeded to have both eye done last summer. It was a miracle. Hours after the first eye surgery, I could read without glass for the first time in 36 years. The second surgery went just as well and only improved what I thought was perfect vision. The ability to read anything, small or large, thermostats in the night and the difference between shampoo and conditioner bottles in the shower without the endless search for readers seems so small but makes life so much easier!! Most importantly, the doctor and his staff are the most helpful, congenial and caring personnel you could ever imagine. Getting convenient accommodating appointments and last minute changes to appointments is easy. Every choice the doctor has recommended and carried out has been perfect for me. He is a perfectionist in the best way making you feel like you are you are his only concern. I cannot say whether I would ever have trusted my eyes to another surgeon for elective surgery, but he is so trustworthy I never gave it a second thought and am so glad that I had the multi-focal implants. My advice is not to be nervous with anything he recommends. read more
