Neurosurgery is the medical specialty concerned with the diagnosis, surgical treatment, and rehabilitation of disorders which affect the nervous system including the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and spine. Neurosurgeons are doctors who diagnose and treat problems with the nervous system, often by performing surgery on the brain or spine. They treat strokes, tumors, blood vessel malformations, face pain and cervical and lumbar disc disease. Neurosurgeons also treat traumatic injuries of the brain and spinal cord.

On a more personal note, Dr. Lewis attributes his success to his focus and determination. In his free time, he enjoys bicycling, cooking, designing medical devices, missionary work, and teaching surgical techniques to surgeons throughout the United States and internationally.
