I was in the hospital until January 24, 2019 and released. I have been back for numerous other surgeries until the middle of July. I have been back semiannually for follow-up CT Scans since August 2019. I have been well taken care of, and treated kindly every visit. God has blessed me and my family and we are thankful to Him, and to all those wonderful people we have be privileged to meet and know throughout our time in every aspect of our treatments and care. Dr. Levine is a skilled surgeon, and a very kind and friendly physician.
- February 17, 2023 It's humiliating to not be able to pay the bill for your visit , but even more humiliating to have the person checking you in ask multiple times can you pay anything today ?

- November 4, 2022 Dr. Levine had the expertise to rid me of cancer (thank you, thank you, thank you!), which is why I came to him in the first place. He communicates medical information clearly. He cares about the whole person, as evidenced by his advice, "Savor your first shower," when I was discharged from the hospital. At my Nov 2 visit he emphasized that, because regular C-T scans would identify recurrent mesothelioma prior to symptoms, I should live life fully and not burden myself with the unrealistic expectation that watching for atypical GI symptoms would catch recurrent disease. At the end of the visit he encouraged me to get in touch with him if I had cancer-related concerns in the future. And he answers his own My Chart e-mail!

- October 30, 2022 He??s the best
- October 28, 2022 I felt that the visit was rushed. Dr. Levine talked over me while I was speaking. Talked at me and not with me. Didn??t know my history. Sought to blame my enlarged lymph nodes on the flu vaccine or COVID vaccine. How can I trust that the proper decision in my care was made when a thorough look at my history wasn??t conducted.
- October 28, 2022 I appreciate how he did not minimize what I was experiencing, provided some much needed laughter and show genuine concern for my future decisions.

- August 24, 2022 Dr. Levine clearly explained the current state of my cancer, his proposed treatment, and the possible decisions regarding treatment/nontreatment.

However, he speaks fast, and I am hard of hearing, making it challenging to write down everything he said.
