Excellent Dr. I wish we would have met him years ago. He is now getting ready to retire so he was not able to take my son. We got great recommendations and wish him a very happy retirement.

To start off I would highly recommend Dr. Levinson to anyone in need of a loving, caring, patient and knowledgeable Doctor. He is all of the above. Dr Levinson is kind, informative and very thoughtful. I am confident that I’m properly informed about my health. His staff is efficient, friendly and reassuring. Lastly, I have no qualms in recommending Dr. Levinson as a Director and a wonderful human being.

***PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU DO NOT CONTACT THE OFFICE THE DAY YOU MAKE THE APPOINTMENT IT WILL CANCELLED. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO MAKE THE SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT PLEASE CONTACT THE OFFICE 24 HOURS PRIOR OR A $50 CANCELLATION FEE WILL BE CHARGED. *** Harold N. Levinson, M.D. is a world- renowned psychiatrist and neurologist. He has a vast experience in treating varied psychiatric disorders psychotherapeutically and pharmacologically. In addition, he is credited with bringing about a dramatic medical breakthrough in the understanding, diagnosis, and successful treatment of Dyslexia/LD and its many related ADD/ADHD, Phobic/Anxiety, Depressive… impairments. And even improving—not curing— Autism or ASD. As a result, the above disorders have become Dr.Levinson’s major subspecialty—especially since many patients frequently have both obvious psychiatric and hidden neurological impairments responsible for their symptoms; and so they must be holistically understood and treated in order to obtain the best possible results. The highly original insights and life- changing content within Dr. Levinson’s many books and research papers have been reviewed by such popular media as the New York Times, Science, TIME, Smithsonian, etc. And his successfully treated children and adults have often appeared with him on national TV, such as Donahue, Today, Larry King Live, Regis Philbin, etc. Most important, Dr. Levinson’s pioneering discoveries have been independently validated by scientists worldwide and are referred to as “highly original” and “decades ahead of its time.” Formerly clinical associate professor of psychiatry at New York University Medical Center, Dr. Levinson is now director of the Medical Dyslexic Treatment Center (also called the Levinson Medical Center for Learning Disabilities) in Great Neck, New York. He is board certified in Psychiatry and Neurology and has been practicing for over 50 yrs. Please check with the office about insurance.

Dr. Levinson is an incredible diagnostician who understand the nuances of behavior and how to treat children and adults. We have been privileged to use him for the last 6 years for our son and we are so grateful for his guidance and expertise- you are not going to find a psychiatrist who is as resourceful and knowledgable.
Dr. Levinson was kind, informative and thoughtful. He clearly explained everything to me and answered my questions. He came up with a plan for my specific situation. I look forward to my next appointment with him. His nurse is very responsive to any questions and concerns.

Dr. Levinson and his epic research into the fields of ADHD, dyslexia and various other inner issues are scientific, tested and true. When we found Dr. Levinson's research, we were thrilled and when we realized he was still practicing after 50 years, we were ecstatic! We are so excited to start on this amazing Dr. who will actually listen and help!! Thank you very much! This will be life changing for our entire family!

He was very nice and understanding and had a good sense of humor. Made me laugh which was really nice. He is very knowledgeable about medications and made great recommendaitons to me.

I have been seeing Dr. Levinson for two months now. My world has improved dramatically!!! He really listens. He is open, honest, compassionate. The research he has done and the vast knowledge he has helped him to see what SO many doctors before him have missed with me. I am so grateful to have found him.
Video visit
He is a doctor who truly cares about helping others. I have more than one issue and recently moved to NY was looking for someone in the state to take me on. I sent him a summary in advance and when we had our appointment he was concerned that one of my disorders (binge eating/purging) was outside his level of expertise. I, personally, did not see that as my main concern (even though clearly needs to be part of the equation). But I did respect that he saw it as a huge concern and wasn’t inclined to work with me. After talking further about my other issues, it turned out that he uncovered something that has been overlooked my entire life and was exactly what he specializes in. He said he would work with me on a trial basis, if I would get a therapist for my eating disorder (he is helping me to find someone). I respect his honesty and his diligence in digging deeper. He is also a lovely man with an excellent bedside manner. I felt so comfortable to be open and honest on this very first visit.

Dr. Levinson appears to be as he is portrayed in his bio and from comments from past patients. He's very experienced, is an excellent listener and is conservative in his methodology. He's down to earth and doesn't speak down to his patients. I appreciate his step by step ways of gathering the necessary information from me.
Dr levinson is very proffessional, more than knowledgeable. Very friendly, .expedient I would reccomend him,. Have no doubts he is more than good. When in the office, check out the books he has authored.
Doctor personable, friendly and welcoming
My wife liked him and we wll continue to see him
Excellent
Dr Levison uses a physiological instead of psychological approach to find out what problems or phobias you may be having. I found his way of thinking 'outside the box' very thought provoking and helpful.
Dr. Levinson is very caring & supportive.
I would highly recommend Dr. Levinson. He took time to understand the roof of my issues and instead of putting me condition into one "bundle" he pin pointed key areas and developed a plan of action according to my specific needs. He listens to everything you have to say and works on a treatment catered to you. He is very personable and I am luck to have found him.
DR LEVINSON & HIS STAFF HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR MANY YEARS HELPING PEOPLE LIKE MY SON OVERCOME THEIR DISABILITIES. THEY ARE VERY COMPETENT, KNOWLEDGEABLE & SYMPATHETIC IN THE TREATMENT OF THEIR PATIENTS. WE ARE GRATEFULL THAT A FAMILY FRIEND RECOMMENDED THIS GROUP TO US.
This was a follow up consult as I've been a patient for many years. The office staff is courteous and the wait time minimal. Dr. Levison is knowledgeable and attentive. As always he provided me with helpful feedback and a combination of the right meds to alleviate my anxiety issues.
