Dr. William Levine, MD

Dr. Levine is that rare combination of exceptional clinical skill and compassion. He answers all questions and takes time with his patients. His assistant William is wonderful. I recommend Dr. Levine without reservation.

Dr. Levine preformed a Scapular Winging surgery on my shoulder. Before the surgery I wasn’t able to lift my arm to shoulder height. Now, 7 months after, I’m back to full motion and almost close to full strength. With as rare of a surgery that this one was, he, as well as all the staff, made it seem like it’s a routine procedure. I can’t thank Dr. Levine, as well as the entire staff at Columbia Orthopedic’s enough. I very highly recommend. Thank you all for everything you have done for myself. It is appreciated.

I had an excellent experience with Dr Levine who performed a total reverse shoulder replacement. With each visit Dr Levine listened and addressed all my concerns and he did so with patience and compassion.

I have been incredibly fortunate to receive outstanding care from Dr. Levine and his team! Everyone is extremely attentive, answers all of your questions, and takes the time necessary so that you can achieve the best possible result!Thank you!

I had an in-person with a telehealth followup to review results. Dr. Levine is naturally a renowned expert and this shows in his precise approach. But all of this is done with a human approach: true medicine with careful clinical assessment and examination, discussion of possible diagnoses and options. It is also evident through his interactions with his team that he is a superb mentor, A modern doc with an old-time comforting approach.

I had limited motion, snapping, numbness, and pain from a not even three-year-old reverse total shoulder replacement, and I could not get anyone near me to help me and was referred to Dr. Levine and he said he would help me. Well help me indeed he did, revision surgery and an excellent outcome, and I am very grateful that there are still surgeons like Dr. Levine that are willing to help people and really care about their well-being.

His professional and caring attitude about me being under is care. Hands on caring about how you feel.

Very dedicated to helping his patients. Goes above & beyond to make sure his patients understand all aspects of his consults.

Dr. William Levine operated on my shoulder that was suffering from a massive, acute rotator cuff tear. My shoulder went from a pain filled nearly completely dysfunctional joint, to 100% recovery. I cannot recommend Bill too much. A brilliant surgeon. Thank you, Dr. Levine!

Dr. Levine and his team are excellent. They explained what I needed very clearly and professionally. I strongly recommend them

Professionalism of entire staff. But above all Dr. Levine understands the psychological and emotional issues of surgery shy patients. He will consider options in addition to surgery. Great patient relationship skills. He’s the whole package.

It's very rare. when everyone in the practice is as knowledgeable and extremely patient oriented as the doctor. Dr. Levine and his staff are amazing. If you need to have a surgery, there is no one better.

I highly recommend Dr. Levine and his entire team at Columbia University orthopaedics. He took on a very difficult reverse total shoulder replacement revision and did the best possible job given my previous history with my left shoulder….an original replacement and two revisions preceding his. I am very fortunate and appreciative that he was able to take on my case. His staff, at every role….scheduling, pre-op, operating room, recovery, physician’s assistant, and coordinator, made the entire surgical experience as good as it could possibly be. It is a privilege to be his patient.

I was extremely satisfied with my Reverse Shoulder Replacement Surgery and with my 1 year follow up appointment. Dr Levine is a professional Orthopedic Surgeon who has so much patience with his patients, and explains everything clearly. I am doing so well with my new shoulder, thanks to Dr Levine and the Columbia Orthopedic department.

He was very personal. He answered all questions and spent as much time as needed. I would recommend him and have recommended him.
