Visiting from Out of Town?
We welcome families from across the country — and we want to make your trip as smooth and meaningful as possible
We Welcome Families from Across the Country
Many of our patients travel from out of state — sometimes from across the country — to receive care at Sancta Familia Center. Dr. Lewis's expertise in PANS/PANDAS, Lyme disease, autism, and other complex conditions draws families who haven't been able to find answers closer to home.
We understand that traveling for medical care adds stress to an already challenging situation. This page is designed to make your visit to Pataskala, Ohio as comfortable and worthwhile as possible — and even to give your family some joy along the way.
