Overall

I really like Dr. Levitan. He's been my eye doctor for a few years now. He is polite and respectful. He explains what he sees upon examining my eyes and what that signifies. When I ask questions, he replies promptly and in an easy-to-understand way. And he always ends a visit by telling me when to see him again, and to contact the office right away if there are any new visual problems. I highly recommend seeing him if you are having visual/retinal problems.
