Lewis employs the latest advances in microsurgical, minimally invasive neurosurgical techniques. This allows for smaller incisions when compared to other approaches. Using the operative microscope during surgery allows him to view the operative field in minute detail, giving Dr. Lewis the ability to perform procedures that otherwise would be impossible with the unaided eye.
For most patients the use of minimally invasive and micro neurosurgical techniques lead to significantly less postoperative pain, a shorter hospital stay, faster recovery and, in most cases, a better overall outcome. He received his medical degree from the University of Toronto in and completed his Neurosurgical Residency in at the University of Alberta. Lewis' areas of emphasis include complex aneurysm and skull base surgery as well as microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia.
Additionally, he treats disorders in the spine including: herniated disc, degenerative disc, spinal stenosis, spinal infections, and tumors.
He performs surgery at Mercy Hospital of Buffalo. Residency: University Of Alberta - Neurosurgery Jeffrey Lewis, M. J Neurosurg , Neurosurgery , Thesis, University Of Alberta, New York, Raven Press, , Pp Wilkins Rh Ed : Cerebral Vasospasm.
