She is proud to have 5 exceptional colleagues in the practice.Dr. Lewis's group at ColumbiaDoctors Pediatrics adheres to the most up-to-date and rigorous standards of care, and is closely woven into the subspecialty network …at New York-Presbyterian. The group provides high-quality, seamlessly integrated care to children with conditions as diverse as complex congenital heart disease, genetic anomalies, cerebral palsy, asthma and countless others. The group regards its mission as providing care for the whole child: no matter what diagnosis a child may have been assigned, she is still a child, whose parents may need advice about sleep training, solid foods, school success or sibling rivalry. The goal of Dr. Lewis' practice is to ensure that families get exceptional medical care while still recognizing their children's unique characteristics and needs.In addition to her clinical respnsibilities, Dr Lewis serves as the Associate Chief Medical information Officer for ColumbiaDoctors. In this capacity, she is working on the upcoming transition to Epic, the electronic health record that will be implemented in 2020 to unify all clinical systems at Columbia University, Weill Cornell Medical College and the New York-Presbyterian Hospital network.
