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.

Knee replacement surgery
I've never had a better experience with any doctors. Doctor Lewandowski replaced both of my knees at the same time, he kept me informed of what was going to happen and I appreciate that. In my opinion you can not choose a better orthopedic surgeon than Dr Lewandowski.

Meniscus tear surgery follow-up
I’ve had lingering tightness in the opposite side of knee which Dr. Lewandowski suggested that it could be from overcompensating for the missing meniscus on the other side. He recommended Meloxicam to relieve the inflammation. I’ve been on it for 10 days and my usual flexibility has returned. The knee feels great on my multiple dog walks per day now.

Dr. Lewandowski is an excellent doctor and surgeon. He has done both of my hip replacement surgeries. I recovered easily quickly with each due to his expert technique. He also has an outstanding and caring bedside manner, and I recommend him highly to anyone needing a hip replacement.

Review of Dr. Lewandowski
After my first visit to see Dr. Lewandowski about knee surgery I went home and found I had lots of questions that I hadn't asked when I first met him, so I made another appointment. He listened to my questions and concerns and answered them all - he took time with me and I feel like I'll be in good hands for my upcoming surgery. He's a very kind and knowledgeable doctor.

Having been a nurse for many years I was reluctant to place myself as a patient. It was unnerving to not be in total control. After reviewing options and possible Physicians for a needed total knee replacement, I chose Dr. Lew and have not for one minute regretted my decision! Both he and all the wonderful people at Crystal Clinic gave me the best care around. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a quiet, unassuming, highly competent, kind surgeon and good man!

Knee Pain
I was very impressed with all of the staff at the Crystal Clinic on my first visit. Dr. Lewandowski was very kind and attentive to my concerns about my knee pain. Originally this was going to be a second opinion, but the more we talked the more I decided to switch to the Crystal Clinic and Dr. Lewandowski for my care. His treatment plan seemed more reasonable to me and his explanations of my knee pain made more sense than my previous surgeon. I’ve heard great things about the Crystal Clinic in general from my neighbors and about Dr. Lewandowski in particular..

Wonderful doctor
Dr. Lewandowski always sees me promptly. His techs carefully listen and come back. If x-ray is need they tlee me I will be having one or that the doctor will be in to see me. Dr. Lewandowski exams me and promptly, properly diagnoses the problem and fixes it. I would not see any other doctor to treat my knees. He's amazing
