I have a multitude of issues with my back. That has left me with severe nerve pain and a completely numb right leg and foot. My appt was for 8:40 he finally entered the room at 9:10. Did a little exam. Asked me no questions about my issues. Lifted my right leg up quickly causing extreme pain. Just to check my pulse in my foot. Then told me "Ya know you are a big girl so your back issues are from that." He didn't want to go over my MRI with me or the report until I made him. Handed me a green piece of paper with scribbles on it. Said try shots. If that doesn't work try a surgeon. Waste of my time and dignity. He even had a transcriber in the room with us. Oh and we were out of the office by 9:20....... Like the last reviewer said watch out for the paper clip!!!!

unless your spine is completely broken he will not be able to diagnose and waste your time. watch out for the paper clip and then go get a second opinion , just like everyone else has posted in his reviews , I wished I would have seen the reviews before i saw him. wasted 2 1/2 months.

He was very personable and cheerful. He and made me feel extremely at ease. He was honest and professional, explaining every thing he did, including what he tests he was ordering and and why. I would highly recommend him.

The doctor was 35 minutes late for my appointment. He walked into the exam room and spent a good deal of time looking at the mri on his computer. He then told me that I was fine, but to feel free to get a second opinion. Not once did he ask me what my symptoms were. He wasn't prepared for the appointment, was late and then dismissive. That's an hour of my life that I'll never get back.

My visit with Dr. Lewinnek was memorable because he was so down to earth. He took time to read all my history and look at my MRI and xrays. He explained and showed me what my condition is, and he answered my questions. He very likeable, concerned and kind.
