About
Dr. Richard Lewis is the founder and sole physician at Mequon Wellness Center in Mequon, Wisconsin. He holds board certifications in both Family Practice and Urgent Care. After completing his residency in 1997, he joined a physician-owned clinic and built a Family Practice Department at a new satellite location in Hartford, Wisconsin. He spent nearly two decades in that setting before opening Mequon Wellness Center to practice medicine on his own terms.
Dr. Lewis approaches medicine as an art rather than a science. He treats each patient as an individual with a unique set of strengths, challenges, and health needs. Informed consent sits at the core of his practice: he educates patients on their conditions, diagnostic options, and the financial and clinical implications of each decision. He holds certification as a BioTE Method provider for hormone optimization in both men and women. His clinical interests span preventive medicine, hormonal health, metabolic conditions, and a broad range of acute and chronic concerns. Patients consistently describe his after-hours availability, unhurried appointments, and personal attention as defining features of their care.
