I debating on writing this review, But decided I had better write it so hopefully others reading this will choose somewhere else to go to for help. I had took my dad to a few doctors appointments, and never in my life have I experienced such horrible service and unkindness. Not only did we have to wait 4 hours for our appointment, they took over a month and a half to refer him out for further testing, which his primary care doctor did in one day. On our second visit, after waiting a hour and a half, when we walked in the girl that brought us back was short with us, rude, and had the worst scowl on her face. once the doctor came in he was late like usual again, complained he had to fill out dmv paper work for us, which let me remind you was his job and what the appointment was for and we paid extra for it, he stated "oh here's your paper work, everyone is mad at me for taking care of you" with a rude tone. He didn't explain anything to my father about it so when my dad had questions, Dr. Levin was extremely rude, talked to my dad like he was a idiot, and acted like we were putting him out.I had to speak up and tell Dr. Levin that he didn't explain to my dad what he was supposed to do from here, and that's why he didn't understand. He then proceeded to tell me, and when I got everything he stated "well i'm glad someone can listen in here". I was so pissed I couldn't even talk because, if I did it wouldn't of been good. Also he knew my dad was happy to be released back to drive again, and that's what we were there for. To be a jerk since we complained about waiting, he wouldn't clear him. He said it was because of some reason that had nothing to do with why we were seeing him. I have never experienced such a arrogant, and rude Doctor in my life. So happy we found better service else where. I can't even give them one star but I had to in order to submit,I wouldn't even recommend him to my worst enemy. read more

I have been suffering with a medical condition called Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) for 4 years. I was technically diagnosed 4 years ago but had to find a new doctor because I moved to this area from L.A. To make a very long story short, I was tossed around to 6 or 7 doctors, some of whom did not subscribe to the idea that TOS was a real thing and caused real pain, and I had 4 EMG tests. All of my tests came back with nothing of note except Dr. Levins. He was the ONLY doctor who performed the EMG with needle insertion in the muscles that are most commonly affected by TOS. I felt like I finally met a doctor who was educated enough on the condition to know how to test for it and refer me to someone who could help. I found him to be very helpful. read more

Dr. Levin is amazing. I was having seizures and a terrible time with balance. He performed a number of tests and pinpointed the problem and I was on the mend! His staff is wonderful and I am so impressed with this professional. He is dedicated and knowledgeable as well! I am so lucky to have found him! read more

I know most patients comment about his bedside manner, but you have to get to know him. He is very funny and more importantly he found medical things that others missed, got me off alot of meds and out of bed. I love him, his staff and thank him every day for giving my son his mom back!!! read more

Dr. Levin is incredible. He actually saved me from a life of chronic pain with migraines. I saw him and he put me on a drug that has been incredible at preventing my horrific headlines. He is the best and I do not know what I would have done without his caring advice and help. I highly recommend Dr. Levin to anyone that is having neurological problems of any kind! read more

I would leave a negative number of stars if possible. This man is dangerous! I experienced several episodes over the course of a year that were mostly spoken of as anxiety attacks. One doctor mentioned the possibility of seizures, and I was referred to Dr. Levin. Dr. Levin began our interview by informing me that he would be notifying the DMV of my seizures, and then basically telling me that the only thing that would save my license was to follow his instructions and taking the meds he prescribed. I immediately asked the VA for a second opinion, and learned from another neurologist in Palo Alto that I was, indeed, experiencing anxiety attacks and not seizures. Meanwhile, Dr. Levin has contacted the DMV and reported me as having seizures, resulting in the possible loss of my driving privilege. I know have to jump through many hoops with the DMV and defend the fact that I have NEVER had a seizure. The fact that Dr. Levin reported inaccurate information, without an official diagnosis, is in my opinion both unprofessional and a serious ethical violation. His report was based on one visit with me. Not one doctor, including Dr. Levin, has ever told me I should not drive. My impression of Dr. Levin is that he is a bully who is used to manipulating people into getting expensive tests and pharmaceuticals. His attitude during our meeting was bullying and offensive. He talked over me constantly, and never listened to anything I tried to say. I would not trust this doctor to pour me a cup of coffee. read more

Dr Levin is my husband's Neurologist and yesterday marked a very special day for my husband who after battling an unknown illness for the past year and a half was finally diagnosed! Thank you so much to Alma and Dr Levin for all of your help! I don't like to complain but you have a woman in your office named Sue who called our home yesterday and was very rude to my husband. She was calling to reschedule my husband's appointment which got him upset because he has been waiting 8 months to see the doctor. My husband was explaining that he has to coordinate a ride because he can't drive right now and Sue kept talking over him and sighing. My husband said this has happened a couple times and Sue said, "hold please"after a large sigh and my husband was telling me how rude she was being and then Sue was on the phone while we were on hold listening and said, "oh really excuse me what was that?" This caused my husband to get upset and he said, " Sue why do you keep talking over me it's very rude". She then said "this has only happened 1 other time before". My husband said I'm gonna have to find another provider because I am desperate at this point. Sue then sad to my husband ( and I was a witness to this), " Well maybe I won't reschedule you then?" With a very nasty tone. My husband lost it and I was blown away that she felt it was okay to talk to a patient like this. I work in the medical field and I know for a fact it is not okay to treat patients in this manner. Alma called us right back and said Dr Levin could see David at 1:45 which was only 15 minutes later than the original appointment. So of course we took the appointment. When checking in for the appointment Sue said, "oh I thought you weren't coming in today" and smiled very sarcastically. This is so unprofessional! My suggestion is to re-evaluate why you work in patient care Sue if you hate it so much. Alma and Dr Levin were life savers yesterday. Thank you! Maybe reconsider who you have representing your office. Always be nice to others because you never know what someone is going through. read more

So far so good. Seen dr levin a few weeks ago. Waited some time to see him. I do understand with this virus how it could take longer to see a patient. Very impressed with his staff. Very patient. The day after tests were taken dr levin called me at home with the results. Made an appointment saw him today. Seems to be very thorough. Asked questions and also answered our (my wife) and our questions. Referred to a couple specialists. Asked us to be sure and call him if we have anymore questions. read more

I have seen some bad doctors in my day. This guy takes the cake. He is late, RUDE, uncaring, unprofessional and doesn't listen. His office staff are so rude. I watched the girl (Sue) at the front be rude to everyone and even hang up on patients. They make their patients wait as they talk about what they are having for lunch and even order the food from the front desk with 20+ patients waiting!! Their equipment is outdated. After a sleep deprived EEG I had to wait over 2 hours to see the doctor. And he didnt even go over the results with me like I waited for. Just said "eh, I don't see anything". Really? Although I dislike Kaiser like no other, I think because this guy is in private practice and nobody is turning in surveys and watching customer service he just does enough to get by and get paid. Didnt feel an ounce of certainty, compassion, concern or anything from him. I truly hope some patients are getting better care out of him. He is arrogant and careless. If you have a choice, look elsewhere!!! read more

Dr. Levin is competent, caring & kind. He took the time to address my health concerns & even offered some great tips on how to improve health. He's skilled at what he does & seems to enjoy helping people very much. It's not often that you find a medical professional who so easily takes on the responsibility of trouble shooting the patient with a multitude of complicated issues going on. Dr. Levin welcomed the challenge with both intelligence & compassion. Thank you I can't understand why there are some negative comments on here. Humn? I just wonder perhaps if they are from disgruntled clients who maybe didn't like whatever news they got. This is often the end of the rd stop for us patients who end up here when all the others couldn't diagnose us. It's either mostly bad news or worse news. Hence the countless appts w/others prior to ending up here. Don't kill the messenger guys. Instead, find relief in knowing at least the cause/s of issue. If that doesn't work, remember it could always be worse. Also, "Thank You" to the gals at the counter. they've got to be the most personable yet proffesional ladies I've seen on any clerical team in a while. I'll never forget the kindness they showed me in what feels like the darkest moment of my life. Sue is an absolute treasure! read more

I wish I could give no stars because he does not deserve the one! Never had a doctor talk to me the way Dr Levin did today. From cutting me off when I tried to talk, not listening to any of my symptoms except one and he ran off one symptom and magically diagnosed me with holes in my heart?? From a headache?? Then gives me prescriptions for meds after I explained a few times that I do not take meds at all, not even Tylenol. And the kicker for me was when I asked about it being safe while breastfeeding, he asked why I was still breastfeeding my 9 month old and said breastfeeding is really only for the mom and not for the babies benefit?? WTF??!!!!?? This man is a complete quack!!! read more

We waited 1 hour for our appointment. When Levin came into our room, he asked "why are we here". Mr. Levin never reviewed my wife's chart. I have never experienced such an unprofessional medical experience in my 81 years. read more

On my first visit with Dr Levin he was extremely professional very to the point. I am a talker so I have seen Dr Levin several times since for several other tests he has not only been extremely kind, extremely chatty, very professional an extremely thorough in my care. We're trying to figure out what the problem is so I've had a lot of EMG,s and we're continuing to do testing not only has he got me in extremely fast, his staff, if they have not got the auth from my HMO will call and get it and I never have to wait to get in. His nurses and secretaries are extremely kind we laugh and I don't really have any issues with his office I thought it was very professional very thorough and he goes far beyond what I need to make sure that everything that he tests me on is thorough and I understand. I fine Dr Levin once you get him talking is pretty awesome, thorough, explains what he is going to do and why he's going to do it and even will tell me and go over results with me and explain what I need to have done and what he's going to send to my doctor regarding future referrals or his opinion and what he thinks. Most doctors do not go beyond the scope of just taking the tests. I think Dr Levin is an awesome doctor and I really like the way he is professional, friendly, and makes you feel comfortable when your extremely nervous prior to taking a test in his office. He always ensures me when I leave hey if you have a problem call me and I'll make sure it gets done so that you can get some relief honestly I think that's hard to find in a doctor and I really appreciate that in Dr Levin and his staff. read more

I'm a physician myself & after a near fatal accident I had to seek his services in Michigan. 1998-2008. He listened to me, diagnosed me with numerous factual conditions. From seizures, central apnea,DIPLOPIA,TBI,night terrors,other disc/nerve issues in back&neck. I'd give him 9/10then. But he moved back to California. I then moved to NH where my husband took a position with Dartmouth Hitchcock. I began seeing Dr Thadani@DH neurologist. But in June 2016 I was having new onset neurological issues& went undiagnosed over 6months. I stopped taking NSAIDS,Motrin myself 6/1/16 since that was the only new thing different those months. I signed for my abnormal EMGs/NCTs,EEGs,Sleep studies showing central &mixed apnea, daytime hypersonic etc. My pituitary gland flattened from the severe rollover& down 50ft into a river. Dr Levin seemed concerned, I believed him. But as a female physician I know most Male drs ridicule female patients. In June 2016,still no documents from St Mary's Saginaw general &Dr Levins documents on my health issues. I asked my Dartmouth Hitchcock neurologist to contact Dr Levin to learn about proof of my neurological history. I was stunned because minutes after he spoke to Dr Levin he accused me of hypochondria,doing something to my photos my cellphone proved in video& photos what was happening last 6months,&told me I had secondary gain etc. I was shocked, he kicked me out of the hospital and NEVER has treated me with belief or respect. I'm asking Dr Levin,what did you say to him that he made 180degree turn?? He discharged me despite running a fever& active infection. Within 24hrs an ambulance is taking me to a local hospital with sepsis and pneumonia. Then double pneumonia. Eventually I was sent to BRIGHAMS WOMEN HOSPITAL IN BOSTON& WAS DIAGNOSED WITH STEVEN JOHNSON SYNDROME, VERY SERIOUS &DEADLY CONDITION. I was told my motrin NSAIDs I was taking for my knee were the cause & I had stopped on my own. So numerous physicians at Dartmouth Hitchcock & local totally misdiagnosed me then after speaking to Dr Levin didn't believe me. Was that coincidental?? I need to know. I do get rare conditions & most go undiagnosed for a long time ex 2006 thyroid mass& told yearly benign no need for biopsy. 2010 I heard on TV anyone who had radiation 4 acne in 70s&80s its NOT BENIGN IT'S CANCER. Then took months 2 get a biopsy, which the neurologist failed 12 times2 get tissue & told me he was stopping. I told him NO KEEP GOING!! ME THE PATIENT, BE YOUR OWN ADVOCATE! 13th time tissue & cocky radiologist bet me his yearly salary it's benign. I told him I hope so,WRONG IT WAS A TERRIBLE THYROID CANCER which metastasis to parathyroid glands, both thyroid lobes,to bones wrist,ribs etc. If as a patient you don't demand 2nd,3rd 4th etc opinions you are not getting what you deserve. Physicians became greedy,bound by HMOs&PPOs&ownership by hospitals & patient care became assembly line medicine. I'll give the rating 4 Dr Levin once I know 100% he didn't lie&tell my Dartmouth doctors that nothing is wrong with me Dr Toula MILIOS Guilfoyle read more

If I could give a negative number I would. We (me and my dad) had the worst time ever. The 2 lady's in the front desk are not friendly at all. My dad had an appointment at 230pm we got there at 215pm we waited and waited till 320pm and ask them when they were going to call my dad and the lady said that he was next. It ended up bein 4pm when they called him in to a room. Left us in there for about an hour that's when I decided to go out of the room and ask where the doctor was by then it was 5pm and the lady said you guys are next it ended being 515pm and no one showed up. Went out again ask what was the gold up and they just told me to go back in that we where next. It ended being 530pm when my dad got frustrated and said he's been waiting for almost 4hours and nothing. He just got told to go in that the doctor was checking his MRI. It wasn't until 6:40 that the doctor came in and just handed my dad a piece a paper telling him he needs to see a surgeon that he can't do anything the doctor was bein very rude like he was kicking us out. The doctor woudnt let my dad or me speak or ask anything. Then he shoved a paper for therapy to my dad and said bye and ignored us and left us in the hallway. The staff and doctor are very rude! In other words it seem like they were racist, I hate to use that word but that's how it seemed because yes we are Mexican. I was there to help my dad interpret his appointment. We had the worst experience there. We didn't even talk to the doctor for 5 minutes , but they did make us wait 4 hours! read more

The worse neurology clinic. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. They're wait time is unbelievable and doctor doesn't seem to really have interest in his patients and the MAs don't have a clue what they are doing. They keep giving me the run around and they all say different things including the doctor. I paid for forms that had to be sent to the DMV and was told by the doctor himself that he would have them filled out and faxed over. He stated as well as the MA that they would send them over and call me to pick up the originals and hadnt received a call so I called them and the MA gave me a whole different story. She said i needed to fill out forms and take them in myself and I told me they didn't have anything showing I paid. Really irritated to deal with them but once this is done I'll never step foot at that clinic again. Wish I could rate them at a negative. read more

First things first, yes the wait time is long however, Dr Levin takes his time with his patients which to me is refreshing! I would rather have a dr be through than be like in and out burger! He came up with some possibilities that even the ucsf drs didn't. Thank u dr levin , so far so good! read more

Dr. Levin is not the warmest doctor that I have met but his job is not to sit down with you at Thanksgiving dinner but to make sure that his patient sits down with their family again. Dr Levin saw my husband as an inpatient at DMC gave us his advise and decided to transfer him to UCSF. So grateful that he decided to do so. I felt like he knew what he was talking about, explained and answered all of my questions without making me feel stupid and knew when we needed a higher level of care even if it meant transferring him to another facility. read more

He is the worst doctor I have ever met. He is rude and pompous. He talked over me and became agitated when I asked questions. Not one redeeming quality. He also kept me waiting over one hour past my (morning) appointment time. Please, look for someone else. read more

By far the worst Dr I have ever encountered! I went to the er for a severe ms flare and he was the oncall neuro. When he talked with the er Dr about treating me he told them to just send me home and have me make an appt. He didn't even attempt to see me while I was in the er. So I did just that. When I called however he told them I needed a referral from my primary Dr. I already have a referral and have seen him four times before. So not only is he refusing to treat me now he is refusing to even see me. This flare up has been going on since September. It is now January and the flare up has gotten so bad I can barely move my right side. I'm so over this jerk! read more

Dr.Levin has helped give me the right diagnosis, that was wrong for over 25 years. He is highly recommended, and has helped me feel better than I ever have in a long time. I would suggest anyong needing neuro care to come to Dr.Levin. read more

Worst doctor my appointment was at 11.45 am he didn't come to check me out till 1.20 pm I Sat in the room all this time he came in the room food in his mouth . I told him of and left the room read more

Came in not to long ago and noticed Dr.levins MA was no longer there. She was a petite girl and very pleasant, great with patients. Now the atmosphere in the clinic was horrible!! Girls there are super rude. They should be the face of the physician but instead they bad mouth him in front of patients. I love Dr.Levin and have seen him for many years! Please do get better staff!!!! so sad that the petite girl is no longer there read more

Very Rude and Unprofessional Doctor. I should have listened to reviews. Waited hours for an extremely rude and arrogant Doctor. Do NOT take your disabled family members to him! He does not care about people. read more

Dr Levin was great! He addressed my concerns and was very informative. He provided me with excellent care. The staff was also helpful and friendly read more

My daughter saw Dr. Levin today and we both were very happy with our experience. Dr. Levin was very professional, friendly and caring. We got results instantly and he ordered additional tests for follow up. read more

From start to finish, this doctor and his office are among the worst I have ever seen. After suffering what may have been a stroke, Dr, Levin did not come to the phone, did not tell me to go to the hospital, and had his staff tell me to get a referral from my physician even though I have been Dr Levin ' s patient for at least 2 years. DOES THAT SAY ENOUGH? read more

The absolute worst! The Doctor strolls into the office a half an hour after my appointment time and and takes another hour before we are seen. The front desk is less than a foot away from the waiting room and discussions about patient can be easily heard. I'd go somewhere else if given the choice. read more

He is rude, the worst doctor I've seen. I went there two times both times I heard him making racist comments about asians. I'll never write a review but this doctor and his stuff are rude, and useless. He kept me inside a room for almost and hour, I'll heard him in the walkway talking and cursing about some other doctor that he hated for some reason when he finally checked on me he just opened the door and say you dont need surgery I can't help anymore go back to your regular doctor rushing me out of the place no even explaining the results of my tests. So please think twice before going here you're going to waste time and money. read more

Dr Levin was able to help me get the right diagnosis after seeing so many doctors even some at Stanford Hospital. I have been poked, prodded, and had MRI, and still ho help. Now I know what is wrong and he referred me to a specialized doctor to help me. Thank you read more

I enjoy my visits to Dr. Levin's office. He is from the East Coast. So that means straight talk. He has a reproduction of Starry Night by Van Gogh in his waiting room with many other interesting paintings. Dr. Levin has interesting paintings and illustrations in his examination rooms too. The ladies of Dr. Levin's staff are lovely ladies who are helpful and kind. The ladies of Dr. Levin's staff have wonderful attitudes of helpfulness and service. My wife and I enjoy our opportunities to chat with Dr. Levin. read more

This doctor should not be practicing. The front desk staff is also extremely rude, and they do not admit to their errors or help you with acquiring insurance approval for medications. The doctor told my husband to stop taking an anti-depressant immediately, without weaning off of it. He prescribed a new prescription that made my husband feel worse. He didn't even check my husband's vitals or vision. He just had my husband grasp his hand and walk forward. That's all. When we tried to inform the doctor's staff that my husband was feeling worse, the front staff refused to relay the message. When I went in to duscuss my husband's symptoms with rhe receptionist, she told me they had patients who had been waiting 2 months to see Dr. Levin so we couldn't just ask to be seen soon. She did not take my husband's extremely serious symptoms with any amount of sympathy at all. In fact, I am pretty sure she had no personality. Avoid this doctor at all costs. read more
