We all expect our physician to be a person with up to date knowledge in their field of specialization.  It would be very helpful if we had evidence that they were practiced and skilled in their work. We hope for that doctor to have an office that is efficiently yet caringly run with staff that treats us with respect and dignity. Dr. Levine and those associated with him fulfill all of these expectations.  

Further, when you face surgery, you want the truth of what to expect, not some glossed over, quick explanation. Dr. Levine takes the time to answer your questions about the coming procedure truthfully and as thoroughly as you can handle. I also found all the staff associated with his surgical center to be of the highest caliber. They truly did their respective duties in a caring, easing of concern manner.

After the first cataract operation was completed in the time I was told it would take, my husband took me home and I had a brief nap. When I awoke, I was amazed at the difference afforded me by my new vision. At home, I tested the difference between the new lens and the old. I was astonished to find how brown everything was colored looking thru the untreated eye. The clarity and true colors seen from the new lens was wonderful. I could thread a needle unaided! It had been years since I could do that simple task.

After the second cataract surgery was completed, my husband took me directly to a restaurant for lunch! How often does that happen after a surgery? The improved vision afforded me by two new implanted lenses enables me to read without glasses, to drive the car with confidence again, to participate more fully in my busy life.

At six months past the surgery, I continue to marvel at the improvement in my vision and ability to do things involving my eyesight with no concern. My only regret is that like most others facing surgery on my eyes, my vision at stake, I waited a year and a half after Dr. Levine said my eyes were ready, before initiating the process.

Thank you, Dr. Levine.
