Dr. Lewis also holds a Master of Health Administration degree from the University of Cincinnati.

Dr. Lewis began his professional career in pediatric orthopedic surgery at Long Island Jewish Schneider Children’s Hospital (now Cohen Children’s Medical Center) in Queens, New York. He later served as Division Chief of Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery at both Winthrop University Hospital and ProHEALTH Care Associates in Lake Success, New York.

He has helped advance the facility’s telemedicine program and participates in comprehensive movement analysis. His advanced proficiency in dynamic ultrasound examinations in the outpatient setting allows for real-time, ultrasound-guided clinical decision-making in the management of hip dysplasia. His research interests include newborn hip ultrasound screening, improving postoperative compliance in scoliosis patients through telemedicine, and motion analysis to guide return-to-sport decisions following ACL and MPFL reconstruction.
