Expressions of Interest

Dr DP Lewis has been involved in the care and management of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome [CFS] since 1985.

His interest began at that time when it became obvious that there existed considerable misunderstanding and very little knowledge, related to the management of this illness.

In order to provide effective treatment for his patients, which now number more than 1500, Dr Lewis has established a medical practice that is dedicated solely toward the diagnosis and treatment of CFS.

The aim is to provide a place where those with CFS will receive understanding and the best treatment. A vital component of this care is to make careful observations both of an individual's condition upon presentation and the progress that is made. The information that is being obtained is constantly being studied by Dr Lewis for the sole purpose of increasing the understanding of this illness, to identify areas of concern and to develop treatment strategies which will further improve the progress that has already been achieved.

Dr Lewis is very much a part of the medical community involved in the treatment of CFS, and continues to be informed from well-established information sources including other medical professionals, centres with established reputation and journals. He is in communication with international and local specialists, and attends conferences on CFS both in Australia and overseas.
