Dr. Levine promised to call Dr. Savitt about the programming of my DBS. Dr. Levine changed my setting from B to A, and I left the appointment feeling good about everything we discussed.

Very informative and helpful.
I was a bit concerned in picking a doctor for my neck this way but all the reviews were high for Dr Levine. I was very comfortable once I arrived in his office, from the office personnel to his exam and recommendations. He actually seemed to listen to what I was saying, rare to find these days.
Verified patient
He explains your symptoms and treatments very thoroughly. I think I have "found the light at the end of the tunnel" on my pain issues. I liked him very much and came out of the appt. very,very satisfied. It is the 1st time that I didn't have to wait for my visit. Between filling out paper work & put in exam room - less than 10 minutes. He was great! Very upbeat and friendly.
Verified patient
Dr. Levine really istened to me and was able to explain my condition and offer options. He also gave me a referral. I am very satisfied with this doctor.
I love and trust Dr. Levine's opinion. He has performed surgery on me before and his recommendations I trust. I look forward to using Dr. Levine again, if needed; as well as referring him to others. M. Harvey
