Dr. Levinson is very thorough and takes time to explain every aspect of the eye exam. Dr. Levinson does not rush and made me feel very comfortable.

It was very, professional, fast, and easy.
More than 1 year agoGeorge F.Verified patient
He is obviously knowledgeable in his field but he seemed rushed, left to deal with another patient as we were talking, and his responses to my questions were somewhat perfunctory. The office had me fill out new forms because they said they did not accept ZocDoc forms. I didn't bring information with me about my medical history as I had already filled it out on ZocDoc.
Also as noted above I was kept waiting without any explanation for an hour.
His assistant who did most of the evaluation was very nice.
