Robert M Lewen's Online Review Report Card

Very knowledgeable, takes time to answer questions, explains everything so you can understand, kind and compassionate. Has treated me for macular degeneration with injections and am very happy with the results. Trust no else to take care of my eyes and my vision

I trusted this man to give me proper medical advice for Central Serous Retinopathy. He told me there was NOTHING we could do other than "wait it out". No treatments other than a blood pressure medicine that made my chest hurt unbelievably (and if you look up the medicine, it makes men grow boobs). He said there were no laser treatments, surgeries, etc. available. This was highly inaccurate. I went to Retina Vitreous Consultants in Monroeville and was informed about a treatment that had great success rates. West Virginia Eye Institute suggested the same treatment. Photo Dynamic Therapy (cold laser) which would not cause permanent scarring of any kind. After careful consideration, I went through with it, and it has made a huge difference already. Unfortunately, certain spots of fluid in my retina that I "waited out" for 2 years became permanent damage that cannot be reversed. Every time I saw him he rushed me through the visit, and his eyes were so glassy and pinned that I wouldn't be surprised if he has an opiate addiction. For lack of better words, F*** YOU man. If you are using this guy, think again! Thanks for the "wait it out" treatment plan. IDIOT!

He is very kind and personable.

Best Ophthalmologist in the area. Dr. Lewen sees me for preventive diabetic exams. On the few occasions when something came up he dealt with it professionally and courteously. Dr. Lewen does not run a patient factory. He takes time with every patient and makes sure their needs are met before moving on to others. I have never had any doctor I like as much as Dr. Lewen.

My elderly mother seen this doctor in Kittanning while speaking to the office help regarding the current status of her care this little fart of a doc overheard part of the conversation and while seeing my mother went off on a tangent that was unrelated to the actual conversation. I find this assumption and his response not only to be unprofessional but also lack intelligence. This doc has no interest in quality care. My mother has left for another doctor and his office help berated her for making a poor choice. Just goes to show poor culture starts at the top

Had my first appointment with Dr. Lewen this afternoon. I found him to be trustworthy, knowledgeable, caring, and easy to talk to. I was very nervous but found his demeanor to be calming. He examined my eyes thoroughly and explained my condition to me. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a retinal specialist.

I was referred to Dr. Lewen as a precaution for a possible retinal detachment. Very thorough, explained why I was having symptoms, and addressed all of my concerns. All doctors/surgeons should take a page from this doctor’s book on how to treat patients. Excellent patient care. I highly recommend him.

Pure excellence!! saved my eyesight!

Excellent care. Very through. Explains condition and treatment.

I had a detached retina and he resolved it and I was able to work out the next day. It was fantastic.
