Dr. Is excellent
I absolutely love Dr. Levine, he is a very talented surgeon. There is no one else I want to do surgery on me. I trust him implicitly. However I had so many problems with his from off staff. It’s like one hand does not know what the other hand is doing. They are very rude, and only read the doctor’s notes. Which is unfortunate, because the doctor can say we need to see you in 2 weeks, and if you need to come in sooner call. Problem is when you call they tell you “ NO doctor said for you to come in in 2 week” Office staff treats the chart and not the patient…. There have been so many issues with this office, all call related, and paperwork related. If you go to the only go for the Doctor. Office staff will be kind as long as you do not advocate for yourself. I wish I could say that going to the office manager helped the situation, however I never felt that it matter either way.

A savant in the field
Dr Levine is a fantastic surgeon. I am extremely grateful for the quality care that he provided our family prior to/and after the surgery conducted on my teen; though, I’m late in offering feedback, he exceeded my expectations. I was extremely frightened to have my son undergo this procedure. It was a typical, routine tonsillectomy. I think my fear was more so attributed to the fact that we were in a pandemic. Dr Levine was hands on, through out the entire process. The decision of course was left in my hands and he was willing to follow my lead. I think his frankness is what made me choose to go for the surgery. My son was suffering. His tonsils had been blocking his airway for quite sometime, and with a quickly growing active teenage boy, he needed every bit of oxygen the bodied allowed. I could have chosen to wait which could have prolonged my child’s suffering. I am glad that I chose otherwise. Dr. Levine is top tier, & rest assured he has your well being at the forefront of every

Good DR bad bedside manner
I have no doubt Dr Levine gave the best course of treatment but his manner was less than pleasant. He seemed short tempered, unhappy and made me feel stupid in both visits.

Dr. Levine is amazing, thorough, compassionate, and occasionally funny! After years of suffering with Asthma, Allergies and Nasal Polyps, essentially a mucus making machine, Dr. Levine recommended surgery. He reviewed all my options, and I was confident I made the best decision, my breathing improved 100%, no more emergency inhalers, no more running nose and most important, I can smell the flowers again. I highly recommend Dr. Brett Levine! Special Shout out to Wanda! She is awesome.

I can say enough good. Entire staff was very helpful and made me feel comfortable. Even during Covid. Place was clean and spotless. Dr. Levine was so kind and patient with me, I can’t imagine anyone getting anything but the upmost care. Took his time, explained everything. I will most certainly be following up my treatments with him,

I saw Dr. Levine's Nurse Practitioner Kemi for loss of hearing and clogged tube in ear causing pressure. I found the front desk efficient, 2 visits and waited only 5 minutes each time and I'm all well now. Kemi was awesome - she listens - diagnosed properly and the process takes time but it WORKS if you just diligently do what she says. Kemi also explains what exactly is going on in terms a Patient can totally understand and a joy to work with. I felt blessed to be in her care and highly recommend her. I cannot rate Doctors in this office as I only saw Kemi. Keep in mind never under rate Nurse Practitioner - I am finding many times in my experience, they are darned awesome as Kemi is!!!!!!

Dr. Levine changed my life (and my husband is happy too!) I can breathe easier and my constant snoring is a thing of the past. His office was very professional and on top of everything. I really appreciated the call after my surgery to see how I was doing. I have never waited more than 5 minutes In the waiting room for an appointment, and have never felt rushed by Dr. Levine. I would give more than 5 stars if I could.

My father developed lip cancer and was referred to Dr. Levine for treatment. The removal of the cancer was an amazing success. My father is healing very well and is happy to have Dr. Levine as his physician. At each visit he took the time to listen to all of our concerns and answered all of our questions. Dr. Levine is an amazing physician and we would recommend him to anyone who needs his expertise. Great job doc!!! The staff at the office is very kind and made us feel comfortable. Thank you!

For the past 3 years I have gone to 3 different ENTS about my throat pain concerns. Dr. Levine was outstanding on his approach of my issue. Very straightforward, methodical, insightful and delivered a care plan that has provided me with mental relief that I am in the care of someone who knows what they are doing.

I saw Dr Levine for 4 months and he was unable to diagnose me. It was very frustrating and expensive to go through that and not be any better than when I started. Plus he spends most of the appt time looking at the computer and reviewing previous appts. I didn’t feel like his heart was into helping me. When I asked about surgery that he was proposing he didn’t want to explain it and told me to watch the video on his website.

I wish to extend my personal thanks to Dr. Levine . It seemed the perfect time to share my experience during this Thanksgiving season. After seeing one Doctor after another and not getting any positive results, I was referred to Dr.Levine. He immediately & sincerely extend his concerns as I am a cancer survivor ,mouth related. Dr. Levine did a full examination and found I had a severe sinus infection, spreading every where. He saved my life and I am eternally grateful.Sincerely,Lynn Cutter
