Very professional and friendly and respectful to patients
My experience with Dr. Levine was not great. I went to get my eyes checked for excessive tearing and irritation in my eyes, something I was experiencing for a while. After long wait when I was finally seen by doctor, he spent only 2 mins with me saw my eyes and gave quick diagnosis that it is allergies which is causing my eyes to tear. He did not let me explain my symptoms properly and neither did he examine my eyes thoroughly. He gave me antihistamine eye drops and that was it. I used the eye drops for few months and there was no relief so I went to an Optometrist to get my eye prescription checked and that’s where I had a thorough eye exam and was diagnosed with Angle Closer Glaucoma. Thereafter I went to two ophthalmologists for first and second opinion and had the laser procedure done to prevent a very serious eye condition. Had Dr. Levine examined my eyes thoroughly I could have had this preventative procedure done an year ago. I will not never recommend Dr. Levine.
El dr. Levine no se toma el tiempo para hablar y explicar lo que pasa con la visión , inmediatamente sabe que no eres candidato para cirugía láser lo hace todo rápido. El area de la recepcionistas son un desastre .
The doctor is very knowledgeable and provided insight on the issue but felt like from the start, we were pushed to have laser surgery. We spent more time discussing prospective laser surgery than going over the main reason for coming in.
Fast service, beautiful large office. Wish doctor spent a bit more time-he was very in and out but efficiency is a defining quality so appreciated that as well.
Lovely office with polite and helpful staff. Doctor was quick to describe what the problem was with no fuss. He was polite and answered all my questions. It was nice to just get in and out of my appointment quickly with minimal wait time and helpful doctor and staff!

Doctor was rushed and did not tell me about an expensive procedure that he was performing. Was surprised by both the alleged service and the bill later on. This was my second time seeing Dr. Levine but I will not be returning.

Para nada satisfecha. Busque este doctor por los buenos comentarios, pero no me fue igual. A la primera pregunta ya estaba el doctor parado despidiéndome , igual continúe con mis dudas las que de favor continuo su asistente respondiendo sucintamente de parada porsupuesto mostrando el apuro como sí no pagara mi consulta. No lo recomiendo
