  • I was very surprised. The doctor was very thorough, went through a lot of routine, asked me a thousand questions, but I answered them all and he checked my reflexes. He checked everything. He was very, very good. I'd recommend him to anybody.

    2026-08-09

  • He didn't seem to be interested in what I said after the middle of the meeting. Initially he was pleasant. He was hurry to get out of the meeting. He did provide a new information about my mini stroke, which is helpful.

    2026-08-09

  • Dr. Levin was very focused on listening to me. Gave me thorough explanations and covered all possible causes. He needed results from my lab work at VMG. That was not provided to him which limited the information he had to work with. I appreciate Dr. Levin and offer my highest trust in the quality of his care.

    2026-08-06

  • He was dismissive of my concerns and symptoms [redacted]

    2026-07-12

  • Previous appointments have been great. This time Dr Levin seemed a bit impatient and dismissive when I was there for a neurological consult about long-term, unexplained pain. When he started by saying he couldn't know the cause, and that only my symptoms could be treated, it seemed premature. Eventually the discussion became constructive, tests were ordered. But getting there was uncomfortable, unnecessarily so.

    2026-04-18

  • Very nice and under standing

    2026-04-18

  • He is the best. When he first came in the office, he asked what he could do for me, which opened the way for me to share all my concerns with him. He went above and beyond with listening deeply and providing information that was helpful. He re-prescribed a medication that I had taken last year, and suggested certain doses to try over a period of time, leaving it up to me to decide. The last thing he did was tell a very funny ? story which made me laugh. Then asked how my anxiety and headaches were at that moment as I had come into the visit very high on both. When I checked my emotions and my body experience, all were relaxed ? and rejuvenated. What more could I have asked for!!!

    2026-04-15

  • I found this time, as I had several years ago, that Dr. Levin was in all respects thorough, professional, and caring. I like him very much, on both a personal and professional level, and I would highly recommend him to anyone else needful of an EMG at this clinic.

  • Yes, the provider was very open and welcoming to a relative who accompanied me to my appointment and all three of us participated in the discussion and follow with the and I were impressed with the physician.

    2026-04-10

  • Dr. Levin makes us feel like with everything going on that there's more stability and that's a really good thing in neurology. She creates a lot of stability and we appreciate that.

    2026-04-10

  • Dr. Levin was very thorough. He was familiar with my history. Dr. Levin asked me if anyone ever reviewed the results of my stroke or my rehab. He reviewed the results of my stay at [redacted] rehab as I had a stroke. He reviewed the results of my wearing a heart monitor at rehab for a month. Talked about a flutter, talked about my thyroid needing attention and told me that it was very important for me to be on a blood thinner and if I could not do that to look into the Watchmen Procedure. I had two visits with my regular doctor and never once did he speak of any of this. He immediately set me up with a professional to help me further explore my options. I have a good deal of confidence in him.

    2026-04-17

  • Dr. Levin is efficient, knowledgeable, and has great critical intelligence. He is not as expressive as other doctors I've had, but this in no way reflects his listening skills or empathy. He remembers everything I've told him, to the most minute detail months later, even verbatim. And he reflects back my subjective experiences, and expresses verbal empathy. He seems to rely on both the literature/research and on his experiences as a doctor to make treatment decisions, along with the verbal info he gathers from me as a patient. Not all doctors take all three factors into account. I feel more heard by Dr. Levin than I have been by other doctors, and I feel I am being treated by an extremely knowledgeable and experienced neurologists.

    2026-04-05

  • I love Dr. Levin. He is the best.

    2026-04-03

  • In general, it was a very positive experience. However, there was one thing that I don't know if it was a result of the test or not, but during the night that followed, I woke up and I have numbness in my hand and I woke up, it was more numb and it felt like it was burning and it was hot for a couple of hours. I didn't know if that was a result of the test. or if that was just an occurrence that happened to occur that night. Anyway, if it was a side effect of the test, it would have been helpful to know that that was a possibility and to be able to anticipate it.

    2026-04-01

He was friendly, talked to me at my level of understanding - not above or below - and made me feel I had enough time that all my questions would be responded to. Excellent first appointment.

  • I am always happy with him.

    2025-11-08

  • Overall, I enjoyed my visit with this provider. However, I felt like a few times I had to repeat myself in the way of that they weren't grasping that I didn't have any other symptoms or anything that triggered from light to sound. They kept saying, oh, if you, you know, have more sun, we thought that that would trigger it. But I kept saying that No, that doesn't trigger my migraine. So I think a little bit more listening, active listening maybe would be the word choice to use would be great.

    2025-11-07

  • New to Massachusetts and very pleased with my experiences with this medical facility and staff. Doctor listened, explained everything in detail, professional and caring to insure what will be best for my health in the future. I'm grateful.

Thank you very much.
