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.

I love Dr. Levinson. He is thorough, kind and the best GI doc I have ever seen. I recommend him highly.

I am so glad and blessed that I have Dr. Levinson as my Gastroentologist. He has helped me tremendously with my condition. By listening to my concerns, and by being proactive with a treatment plan, I have overcome a recent flare-up. He is personable, friendly and spends quality time- nothing is rushed or hurried. It is so welcomed to have a doctor who is compassionate and proactive. You know he cares!

I was seen initially on Monday June 19 for an assessment prior to a colonoscopy. I'm a veteran and was given the choice to receive my care in the community because the VA could not schedule me within 30 days. Dr Levinson assured me that they would be scheduling the procedure in a local ASC and to look forward to the follow up from the from office That was SIX WEEKS AGO I called and have left 2 voicemails and spoke with reception 3 times. NOTHING. No return calms, email, snail mail. Nothing

Terrible office, terrible doctor = terrible experience in screening colonoscopy. I am not coming back. I would not recommend this office nor this doctor.
