Comparative Review
Unfortunately, not all reviews are positive. One patient had a disappointing experience with Dr. Levine, feeling dismissed and unhelped by his initial assessment.
I don't want someone learning on me, instead I wanted someone who knows what they are doing and it's so hard to be sure. I think Dr. Levine is at Cedars and UCLA but I saw him in his private office in BH and he was really great, at least for me. I can tell he was very professional, easy to talk to, helped me so much and really really cared. I don't usually write "reviews" but I wanted to help someone else like me who is searching without knowing how to do it.
