At the most recent meeting of the Department of Ophthalmolgy at Rose Medical Center, Stuart Lewis, MD, FACS was named Chairman of the Department for a two year term. While Dr. Lewis has served in the capacity of Department Chair in the past, he agreed to another term and has plans to continue to improve and re-vitalize the department with additional equipment and services.

The Cherry Creek Eye Center has been the base of operations for Rose Medical Center ophthalmologists since 1986. The Eye Center is composed of private physician offices, the Rose Medical Center dedicated out-patient eye surgery operating rooms, the Cherry Creek Optical and an out-patient ophthalmic lab. The idea of an out-patient eye surgery center was developed by six Rose Medical Center ophthalmologists (Drs. Lewis, Frankel, Goldstein, Kadler, Meltzer and Barmatz) in 1985 and was the first such center in the Denver metropolitan area. The ground-breaking concept of private practice physicians working together with a hosptial in such a manner was unique at the time but has proven to be the blueprint for many successful out-patient surgery centers (Midtown/HealthOne, Harvard Park/Porter, Lowry/HealthOne) in Denver.

It is Dr. Lewis' plan to continue to offer state-of-the-art services rather than just the community standard at the Cherry Creek Eye Center. If you have questions regarding the Ophthalmology Department at Rose or constructive suggestions, please call us at 303 691-2228.
