Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Most courteous Doctor I have ever met, professional and very caring to his patients, he's a blessing to our community, God bless him!

He's a fine good doctor but his office had no record of an Rx he assigned one week earlier, nor its name, and therefore could not contact our pharmacy. We regrettably will have to avoid his practice due to the ineptitude of his staff.

Had a wonderful visit with Dr Levine. He was very knowledgable and had a great bedside manner. I had a lot of questions which were all answered in a way that was easy for me to understand. I would recommend Dr Levine and will definitely be following up with him in the future.

I have had cataract surgery on both eyes with Dr. Levine and no have had a two part surgery to repair my drooping eyelids. In all, he has been superb. I consider the catcall surgeries miraculous because I regained 20/20 eyesight once again and had absolutely no problems with pre or post surgery. Even though I am still healing, the difference is amazing. Dr. Levine is a highly skilled surgeon but he is also attentive and caring person who listens, is responsive and instills total confidence.

I went to Dr. Levine with a chalazion on my right eye which was then 3 days old, red and a small lump. He assured me hot compresses would cure it, and refused to write a prescription as I was traveling and did not want to have to spend time looking for an ophthalmologist in DC to treat it the following week. It got worse and worse, infected, red and the size of a marble and I wasted 2 vacation days trying to find help. Dr. Levine was not helpful and guessed completely wrong.Would not return.
