Dr. Lewis strives to have all of her patients be able to say:

"I receive exactly the HealthCare I want and need

Exactly when and how

I want and need it."

This principle is the cornerstone of the concept of “The Ideal Medical Practice,” an innovative, nationwide physician movement. This model incorporates office efficiency, low overhead, electronic medical records, same day access, and open lines of communication between patients and their physician. Dr. Lewis opened her Ideal Medical Practice in June of 2005.

The Ideal Medical Practices’ new model of health care uses the ideals of low overhead, lower volume, efficiency in office management, and accountability for outcomes of patient care. This innovative group of physicians is currently working on providing real numbers that show the cost savings and improvement in overall chronic care when practices uphold this model of care.

Taken from the home page of Ideal Medical Home, an Ideal Medical Practice is "…a confederation of organizations, technologies, and individuals devoted to real-world, real-time improvement of clinical office practice that is:

We call practices that attain these objectives, Ideal Medical Practices."
