I seen him when he first came to Virginia Mason and he replaced Dr. Oh as the one to treat TED. He didn't seem interested in me at all. For fu visits, he expressed a could-care-less whether I came back to see him or not, according to his assistant..

Review for Dr. Dewan

I had a previous surgery for adult spinal deformity, and when I needed a small additional surgery I was confident in the quality of care and expertise that Dr. Leveque and his team would provide. I have had a very good recovery and am almost back to my previous level of stamina in less than three...
