Six months after my cataract surgery, my eyes still do not feel normal. My eyes feel irritated and I suffer from constant flickering of light as well as dysphotopsia. The only time my eyes feel okay is when they are closed!! Dr. Levine doesn't seem overly concerned with my distress. Says come back in another six months. I had high hopes for the expensive multifocal lenses. I now wonder if it was a mistake.

he is a good doctor because he has knowledge BUT he is cold and always rushed to get you out of his sight. He won't let you ask him questions and is a very cold individual who in my opinion only cares about his money and not the patient.

When I visited the office post-surgery, I felt like I was in a factory. I've had issues since my surgery, and Dr. Levine says only that they'll go away. When I ask him for a time frame, he says weeks to months. It has been six months and my issues have not gone away, but gotten worse. Dr.. Levine gives me about two minutes in follow-up visits. He seems annoyed by my concerns. He tried to get me to do my other eye immediately using fear tactics. 6 months later other eye is fine. 

First Time Visit

I was a first time patient. The staff were incredibly nice, helpful and friendly but cannot say thr same abour Dr. Levine. He walked into the exam room, didn't introduce himself properly, made a demand of me and rushed me out like I had the plague. The arrogance and attitude, I can do without. He didn't even review my test results with me!! I had to ask about them. He wrote me a script and told me he doesn't see patients but every 2 years then shooed me away. Needless to say, I won't be back.

I had a basic eye exam here and all I can say is the term pompous was invented for this man. The rest of the staff is friendly enough although you can smell the aroma of fear and oppression in this office. I was rushed through here like a White Castle hamburger with little information and absolutely no sense of well-being. Rude.Hurried. Doesn't seem to like what he does.
