Dr. Lewis and Dr. Maggio were AWESOME! Having recently discovered that I had stage 3 CKD, I can now relax knowing that I am in the care of THE BEST kidney specialists in the country.

Care provider had no sense of time.No respect for the patient or the patient time.I had to leave the consultation room without seeing the physician after waiting for her for about two hours. Unbelievable cruel.

Was worried since I no longer was Dr Steitz patient but Dr Maggio seems great as well. That said, no one compared to Dr Lewis. Dr Steitz came close and both of them saved my life, literally!
