Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Was fired as a patient because I chose naturopathic care for my cancer tx (ozone and iv vit C) that was in spite of my PSA declining from 8.1 to 5.5. Dr Lewis stated he did not support that kind of care and I should find a doctor that would. I’ve seen Dr Lewis for 6 yrs once a yr for annual check up and BP med renewal. He never once addressed my diet, exercise etc.Dr Lewis has nothing to do with my cancer treatment and had not followed up the entire year after dx.Yet, was unwilling to continue seeing me yearly because of my choice.Since when did Doctors start believing they control my body or that patients are too stupid to make good choices for themselves.Doctors work for the patient, to advise and guide and educate in order that the patient can make the best decisions for their own body and health.

Great Doctor
Had a GREAT first visit with Dr. Lewis. I've had a lot of health problems and needed a new PCP, I was referred to him by a friend and I'm ecstatic that I found him. He listened to everything I had to say and asked me many questions. Bedside manner is extremely important to me and I was highly impressed with Dr. Lewis and his nurse, she was excellent as well. Thank you all for a wonderful experience!

Dr Lewis keeps appointments running on time. Remember that late afternoon appointments can be a problem anywhere. I have never felt rushed. He will allow as much time as necessary for an appointment. I can always get in quickly if needed. He has always been kind to me and I trust him for my care.

Great doctor. Spent almost 40 minutes with me on my initial visit. Very hard to find a doctor willing to spend that much time with a patient in this day of hurried medical care. Followed-up with lab results and recommended treatment after appointment. Highly recommend.

Unfortunately, had a very negative experience with Dr. Lewis. I just can't recommend him. It is as if he and his office are doing you a favor by deigning to see you. Not at all what a doctor-patient relationship should be like.

Wouldn't even leave a star if I didn't have to. Worst doctor in all of Nashville,TN. I hope he looses his medical license. We just couldn't see eye to eye.

Dr Lewis has a warm and caring personality. He never appears rushed. He is easy to communicate with and I feel comfortable sharing info and asking questions. He has been my primary care doc for about 4 years. He responds quickly through Follow My Health. Highly recommended.

Dr. Rodney Lewis has a wonderful bedside manner, meaning a good listener. I should know, having had the good fortune of traveling the world. Dr. Lewis has been my Primary Care Doctor since May 2016 and takes meaningful care of my health. I am 80 years young !

told I should give up on trying to have a baby bc he adopted and I only wanted to get pregnant so my child would 'look like me' (I was 32 at the time with no medical reason to avoid pregnancy) Only visited him bc my ob is in the same building. My ob was disgusted, horrified by his statements and apologized. Now mother to healthy baby boy PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS PHYSICIAN FOR THIS AND OTHER REASONS!

Dr. Lewis is by far the most thorough and caring doctor I have ever had. Because of his attention to detail, a malignant tumor was discovered on my kidney. I had surgery and have been cancer free since. I am convinced that Dr. Lewis' concern and professionalism saved my life. He is proactive, caring, and forthright - all qualities I want in my doctor.

Dr. Lewis has been my Primary Care Internist for the past 7 years. During that time I have seen him many times during routine exams and for acute symptoms. He is extremely knowledgeable and instills confidence that I am getting the best possible care. He has referred me to other specialties on at least 5 occasions, the latest of which was as a result of finding a serious condition by studying my routine test results over time. I am happy that Dr. Lewis is my doctor!

Dr. Lewis is one of the most compassionate, evidence-based, relatable & accessible physicians I have ever met. I am in healthcare strategy for a competing healthsystem (we met during his residency), and I sought his care for myself and my husband when he established his practice. He is trained in both surgery & medicine, which gives him a unique & rare perspective as an internist. He does not rush, incorporates your family life, stress level & stage of life in a holistic partnership of care.
