Daniel D. Lewis
DVM, DACVS
I am very proud of the residency program we have built at the University of Florida. Watching our residents develop and mature, both professionally and personally, has probably been the most rewarding facet of my career. I fondly refer to our residents as ‘my non-biologic children’ and, like my own kids, I am very proud of all they have accomplished, grateful for all they have taught me and appreciative of all their contributions to our program.

Dan Lewis is a father to over 20 ‘children.’ We left the nest with the fundamental life-skills of ALD correction and the ability to fix any fracture with an ESF; the humility to always share accommodation regardless of qualification, tenure or affluence; the ingrained commitment to always accept responsibility for our actions (complications); and with the knowledge that Dan gave each one of us an opportunity to study and practice surgery in twenty bespoke ways.
- With much love, from 10 of Dan's most recent children
