 Hello, I'm Dr. Jim Lewis, and I'm an orthopedic surgeon with MidMichigan Health, and a member of MidMichigan's comprehensive musculoskeletal team. As an orthopedic surgeon, I'm dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of injuries, disorders, and diseases of the musculoskeletal system. This complex system includes bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, nerves, and tendons. When it comes to patient care, I believe in the importance of establishing relationships based on open communication. One of my goals is to offer a welcoming environment for my patients as well as their family members. Orthopedic surgery is a very hands-on specialty that gives me the unique opportunity to provide patient care on multiple levels. Growing up around my family's collision repair and hot rod business gave me the opportunity to not only learn how to enjoy working with my hands and fixing things, but also building and fostering strong relationships with our customers. I specialize in both general pediatric and adult orthopedics and hold special interest in endurance sports, running and cycling, overuse injuries, as well as serving as team physician and providing sporting event coverage. The most satisfying aspects of my job are making sure that my patients have a comprehensive understanding of their medical needs and utilizing my years of training to provide them with great results.
