Nathan Lewis, MD

The front desk worker was of zero help. I only wanted a physical, which is covered under my insurance, but they classify it as a general visit here. I asked about this specifically over the phone and was told I was good to come in, but then I fill out all of the paperwork and she tells me my insurance won’t cover it. Unless you have the best insurance, I suggest finding another doctor.

Recently, I switched insurance plans and needed to find a new PCP. I searched within my network and found Dr. Lewis, and am glad that I did. As a new patient, I felt very comfortable and welcomed. The wait was a little longer than I expected (probably because I was a new patient), but once I was in the exam room he was quick but thorough, which I liked. He listened to my health concerns, and gave great medical advice.

I just moved to Pasadena — and leaving the ever-​interesting city of Long Beach (farewell, i shall miss thee) — I decided I was going to finally set myself up with a primary care physician. Previously, I was one of those whenever you get sick just hit up the local urgent care types. Yea, my wallet wasn’t feeling that whole setup.
So, by recommendation, I visited Dr. Nathan Lewis.
First of all, the receptionist was kind enough to set up an appointment with me a week prior, despite his being booked. Once I was there, I filled out the mounds of paperwork that’s normal at any healthcare establishment and waited to be seen.
Enter Dr. Lewis who was kind, funny, informative, and seemed to truly care about my existence. I left feeling like I had made an excellent decision in meeting with this doctor. He was so awesome and I look forward to having him as a primary care physician. To anyone who has an appointment with him — you will not be disappointed.
Wait…appointment, disappointment… huh.

Outstanding physician! You will not find a more caring and medically knowledgeable caregiver anywhere! Thank you Dr. Lewis for the great care and for caring greatly about your patients — two rare traits in this age of check book medical practice. God bless you and your fine family always!

I am writing this review for my roommate who doesn’t have a Unilocal account, but this doctor needs a review and deserves business from the fine Unilocal community.
My roommate was in terrible physical pain recently and needed medical attention. We took her to the ER to the tune of $ 750 and got very little in the ways of medical attention: a fairly quick exam, and 2 prescriptions. While the prescriptions helped, she needed more of an exam and some actual advice on her condition.
A couple of days later we made an appointment with a doctor she had seen, and liked, a few years ago, Dr. Lewis, and he showed us what real medical care should be. Dr. Lewis gave my roommate a complete exam, explained everything he found, and what he didn’t find in order to calm nerves that the condition wasn’t worse, and gave some fantastic advice on what to do at home to help with the pain and treat the condition as well as giving us a prescription to treat the infection that was causing the pain, something the ER doctor might have done had he cared to give a proper exam and some time in treating the condition. Within a couple days of taking the antibiotic Dr. Lewis prescribed the pain had decreased dramatically.
As the son of a doctor I know how a good doctor should treat his patients, and this man has the skills. He has a wonderfully calming personality and obviously cares about his patients on top of having the proper medical knowledge, something not all doctors have (again, as the son of a doctor I have heard some scary stories, and this man does not fit into those categories… he is GREAT!)
In addition, Dr Lewis has moved into a new office that is nice and clean and freshly painted. Very calming. A small detail, but important. Plus, the woman who answered the phone and checked us in was lovely and kind.
As for the price, after researching non-​insurance prices I have found this doctor’s price to have been on the lower end of the spectrum of doctor’s visit prices. So all in all Dr. Lewis has proved to be affordable, knowledgeable and kind, a true gem of a doctor!!! Thank you Dr. Lewis!!!
