WELCOME TO LEW MEDICAL


TWO GENERATIONS CARING FOR GLENDALE


After earning his MD from the Chicago Medical School, Dr. Edmund Lew returned to his native Southern California in 1983 to begin a 3-year residency in Family Medicine and a life-long association with Adventist Health Glendale.


“The experience I had in residency was that the Christian mission was more than just a motto; it’s something that people live,” he says. “I started practice in 1988 in a small office on Glenoaks Boulevard seeing four patients a day and Adventist Health has always been supportive of me and my practice.”


All three of his children were born at the hospital. The oldest is now affiliated with Adventist Health Glendale as a family practice physician himself.


“Growing up, he would take me on rounds with him on the weekend,” says Dr. Matthew Lew. “I think a lot of it was just seeing what he did and how much joy he had helping other people and seeing them get better.” As a high school student, Matthew Lew would volunteer at the hospital and after pursuing medical training at the American University of the Caribbean and residency in the Coachella Valley, he returned to Glendale.


"It’s always been my goal to work at Adventist Health Glendale given the history we have there and it’s just a great hospital all the way around,” Dr. Matthew Lew says.


And now, nearly 30 years after introducing his eldest son to compassionate caregiving here, Dr. Edmund Lew can be seen on some weekends with his 5-year-old grandson – Dr. Matthew Lew’s oldest – rounding at Adventist Health Glendale.  Could a third-generation Dr. Lew be on the horizon? No pressure, both doctors say with a chuckle. But if he does pursue medicine there’s little doubt he’ll do it anywhere but here.
