Colorado’s Top Rated Local® Eye Doctor & Optometrist Award Winner: Cherry Creek Eye Physicians and Surgeons

Cherry Creek Eye Physicians Staff - Top Rated Local® Award Winners

At Top Rated Local®, we are pleased to announce that Cherry Creek Eye Physicians and Surgeons, a proud and local Colorado business, is an award winner in two categories for their excellent Rating Score™.

For more than 50 years, the residents in the Cherry Creek neighborhood of Denver have had the pleasure of working with the team at Cherry Creek Eye Physicians and Surgeons (CCEPS).

What started as a pediatric medical office in 1954 quickly turned into a specialty ophthalmology practice by founder Dr. Max Kaplan in 1957. He built a strong business that was then purchased by the current owner, Dr. Stuart Lewis, in the ‘80s.

Dr. Lewis and one of his practice managers, Lea Petersen, took some time out of their busy days for an interview with Top Rated Local.

Cherry Creek Eye Physicians and Surgeons won two awards from Top Rated Local® this year:

It was easy to tell that Dr. Lewis loves his job and his patients. He even stepped away from the interview for a few moments to go check out some new 3D-printed custom lenses for a patient.

This is outstanding to us for two reasons:

  1. Dr. Lewis prioritizes his patients first and foremost.
  2. CCEPS is a practice with cutting-edge technology despite being more than 50 years old.

According to Dr. Lewis, it’s important for him to provide good services to the people.

“Ophthalmology is the queen of medicine as far as I can see,” said Dr. Lewis, “What I mean is eye care makes an obvious and tangible difference.”

He talked about the many patients who walk through the door one day who cannot see, and the next day they experience sheer joy after surgery because they can see again.

“It’s a party every day we see our patients post-op,” said Dr. Lewis fondly.

It’s not only the joy derived from the results of ophthalmology work that makes patients appreciate the team and services provided by CCEPS. As noted by the more than 1,300 reviews online (averaging 5-stars nonetheless), Dr. Lewis and the team are highly recommended by their local community.

Here are some of our favorite reviews published online:

Patient for over 20 years. Dr. Lewis is an excellent surgeon. Had 3 procedures with positive results. Great friendly staff. Highly recommend.” – John, September 2018, DemandForce

There is no reason this business should not have 10 stars!” – Rebecca, July 2018, Google

I have found this office very pleasant and efficient. I had a problem with floaters and Dr. Lewis very patiently explained what was happening. The follow-up appointments were handled well. Although it is likely to happen again in the other eye, I feel confident I am in good hands.” – Serena, July 2016, Facebook

Great professional service. The latest in technology. I am nearing 20 years as a patient and my entire family is serviced here. Dr. Lewis has the utmost care for his patients!! Thanks for helping me to see the future.” – Rev. Rodney, May 2018, DemandForce

It’s this last review that brings us to the next aspect that helps CCEPS stand out from the competition: the technology.

CCEPS prioritizes experience and diversity in their healing strategies. Some notable pieces of high tech in the office include the three different lasers in-house, a camera that avoids the need to dilate eyes for an exam, and the CustomVue procedure for the latest in LASIK eye surgery.

The advanced technology combined with the focused and compassionate team leave the patients at CCEPS coming back for years.

Dr. Lewis makes it a point to accommodate the people in their community and deliver the service they need to help their vision. We have a vast diversity of patients from every ethnicity and income level.

“We worry about money later. We have learned through the years that if we work in good faith all the time, our success is assured,” said Dr. Lewis, “We are always present during the day, and then we go home.”


Congratulations to you and your team at Cherry Creek Eye Physicians and Surgeons, Dr. Lewis. You deserve to be recognized as a Top Rated Local® business in your community and industry.

If you’re looking for an ophthalmologist in the Cherry Creek Denver area, we highly recommend CCEPS.
