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 feel he was no help at all. All he said were things basic primary care doctors already had told me or his response was I don’t know. And that there was basically no tests to be ran to check what’s wrong with me, but then I look on google and there is such thing as the tests I asked about such as a food sensitivity test. He tried to say I could see him in a month if I wanted to but didn’t tell me what to do in the next month before I saw him next. I had to ask him what to do. All he said was pay attention to my body and see when these problems occur which is what I’ve been doing for a year now which is the whole reason I got a referral to him. Waste of my time. He also went on a rant about my smoking habits for half the appointment which I don’t find very professional. I waited months for an appointment to find out why I am so sick and instead I got a lecture.

Dr. Lever was suggested to me for a GI consult. Once I got to the GI dept at CCF main campus, I realized I would have to wait. At first I was upset, but balanced that with the wonderful statements I'd heard about Dr. Lever. So, I waited. I am SO GLAD I waited; he is well worth the wait. I would take my parents/kids to see him if necessary. He spends time listening and he is brilliant. I'd rather wait and get good care than be half heard and get crappy care. He is caring & dedicated. Integrity!
