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.

Would highly recommend. Dr. took time to listen to me. He diagnosed me when no one else could. Great front office staff.

My wife has been suffering with psoriasis and joint pain for several years. We moved down to the coast around Thanksgiving 2015. She decided to find a rheumatologist in the Area instead of traveling north to the Hartford area and came upon Dr. Levin. His big recommendation for her condition was Aleve. He came across very apathetic and we really couldn't be more disappointed in him then we are. He just didn't seem to have any interest in pursuing what is going on with my wife. Disappointing

Every time I have an appointment I wait 30-45 minutes to be seen. My first visit was almost an hour wait. Then, the one time I run a few minutes late he won't see me and wants to reschedule. It's sad when your physician thinks their time is more valuable than yours and can't wait 10 minutes for you, however you are expected to wait 3/4 of an hour for them. Very frustrating!

It's been 14 years since Dr. Levin took on the challenge of helping me manage and control my psoriatic arthritis. His expertise, compassion, and professionalism go above and beyond that of your typical doctor's, in my opinion. Southeastern CT is fortunate to have this man helping those of us who must cope with the pain and frustration of arthritis in such a caring manner. -Marcy Lee
