Good doctor and knowledgeable.
June 30, 2026
Dr. Levin was very accommodating and answered all my questions. […] RN was super helpful keeping me on top of what was needed so the surgery could still take place. She answered all my questions on North shore Connect in a very timely manner. She is an asset to the practice.

It was nice to have the X-rays taken on the same location . I suggest that some of the staff should smile more .An explanation' on the diagnosis (shoulder arthritis') would have been appreciated . I am glad that PT was suggested/ordered (I have scheduled them) .

I cannot speak highly enough of the care from Dr. Steven Levin. I had rotator cuff surgery in February and this was a follow-up appointment. I told Dr. Levin that if one could have an optimal surgical experience, I did. He and his staff took excellent care of me. After surgery, I was not in pain because of a nerve block. I would highly recommend Dr. Levin.

February 23, 2026
Dr. Levin is an excellent doctor, took the time to listen and then to explain what was going on. I'm grateful I don't need surgery, just physical therapy for now.
February 18, 2026
Every person EXCEPT the MD was very kind and helpful.The MD NEVER sat down, did not examine me, did not review my X-rays with me and did not discuss my symptoms with me or allow me to ask any questions.He just spent a total of 2 minutes in the room, stated I reviewed everything with my PA including your X rays and I have concluded you have 2 problems both of which I do not treat but I will take care of you.He then left the room and I never saw him again.Instead his Tech [...] was left to try address my medical needs.Sadly to say they were not fully and correctly addressed and needed input from his nurse who I never saw in person but communicated with via the portal.Overall a very poor , unsatisfactory and demoralizing experience.

He was rather brusque and seemed to assume that he would do the surgery if I decided to have it done. Maybe it's just me...

April 13, 2025
I felt treated with condescension when asking questions about my surgery. He made me feel dumb for asking simple questions and was very quick to shut me down. Dr. Levin needs to work on his communication with his patients and treating them with respect.
April 12, 2025
This doctor is shown on your website as friendly and smiling in a picture with a patient but his bedside manner is not good. He was cold, dismissive and borderline rude.
