Not currently accepting patients

No ratings to display.

Why aren't there any ratings?

There is no publicly available rating for this care provider for one of three reasons:

  1. They do not see patients.
  2. They see patients but have not yet received the minimum number of patient experience reviews. To be eligible for display, we require a minimum of 30 surveys. This ensures that the rating is statistically reliable and an accurate reflection of patient experience.
  3. They see patients but do not see enough patients to collect a statistically-reliable patient experience rating.

About me

Dr. Lewy, along with Robert Sack, M.D., have been investigating the use of melatonin as a treatment for circadian phase disorders, including those found in shift workers and blind people. "I take care of two types of patients, those who need light or melatonin treatment and those who need psychotherapy and other medications for psychiatric and sleep disorders," he said. His specialty is in body clock disorders, sleep disorders and depression and anxiety. He has been involved in clinical trials regarding winter depression and the treatment of totally blind people who have drifting circadian rhythms. Dr. Lewy is also investigating how a daily dose of melatonin can synchronize the sleep cycles of totally blind people who have no light perception.
