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.

Dr. Levine and Roswell
The doctors , nurses, techs, etc. treat you like a customer at a restaurant or hotel. They are constantly concerned about your comfort and your care. Procedures are all done on one day, quickly and efficiently. There is no waiting weeks and weeks for a scan, a biopsy, or other procedure. Blood tests are done immediately before your appointment and the results are available at your appointment. Dr. Levine is somber, as you would expect for someone who is dealing with life and death, so my goal is to make him smile when I see him. He and his staff are just wonderful. I don't think I could be in better hands.

I highly recommend Dr. Levine.
In my most recent visit and all visits, Dr. Levine clearly explains the diagnosis and treatment plan. He encourages questions about both and is willing to explain in layperson’s terms. He is also encouraging about potential positive outcome.

Completely unhelpful makes it very obvious he'd rather be anywhere but there with you. Probably thinking about his summer homes during the entire visit. More than happy to take your money though.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Levine?
My biggest beef is the wait times. I had a 1:40 appointment and never saw the doctor til around 3:45. When the commercial says spend one day with us, they really mean one day. This appointment, was after having to go down there for my scans the week before. The parking isnt free!. That being said I felt as though the Dr didnt have a handle on what is going on with me.They were having trouble even pulling my scans up in the computer. He offered 3 options for my care according to the findings in my scans but made all them sound horrible. Not a shred of encouragement or compassion. Then when I tried to explain to him how COVID is effecting my care he didnt seem to care. This is why I left Buffalo in the first place and was cared for in anther state for the last 8 years. That place was sold out because of COVID. I honestly dont want to spend everyday of whats left of my life sitting in an office waiting to see a Dr. That only spends 10-15 minutes with me. Too much running around here.

I would totally recommend Dr Levine and his staff. The only hiccup I have with the breast clinic is the time of check in and wait time I have to wait to be seen. My appt was at 7:40 am and I was not see until 8:20 am no other patient was In the clinic while I was waiting. Most times I have to wait to check in because one or both receptionist are talk with each other or one is in on the Phone and the other looks like she is on the computer doing some thing . I wish the old staff was there at reception. Other than that they are really nice there.

Yes, would highly recommend Dr. Levine and his Breast Clinic Team as they have provided me with Superior Oncologist and patient care for two years at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Care in Buffalo, NY. Today, Dr. Levine stated, that I am stable and I am to begin my 24th Cycle of Oral cancer Medication. God bless everyone.
