Dr. George Leventon, MD

My husband and I have gone to Dr. Leventon for about 25 years. Now our visits are one or two a year. I want to firmly disagree with some other negative comments left here. He is professional, knowledgeable and very intelligent. I would say if you want to see him, go and see for yourself. Remember that such negative reviews often indicate more than meets the eye.

My daughter has worked with Dr. Leventon for over five years for ADD. I wholeheartedly recommend him. Dr. Leventon truly cares about his patients. You will not be in and out in 15 minutes with a prescription and no real counseling. Dr. Leventon will talk with you for a long, long, long time. At times, it is annoying to have such long appointments - but he really gets to know his patients, and they get to know him. (Plus, the appointments get shorter after you have been with him for a while.) Dr. Leventon goes the extra mile for his patients and does what he thinks is best for them in terms of medication and in terms of counseling. He probably doesn't mesh with all patients, but he is very helpful for those he works with.

My X bartered with George to misdiagnose and prescribe me drugs, so I would lose custody of my children. George is a weak link to the medical community.

Prescribes excessive dosages of medication to children much too young for those medications. Piles new medications on to treat side effects of previously prescribed medications instead of going back and choosing more appropriate drugs. Obsessed with people drinking tea. He works for the person who pays his bill, so if you are divorced he will echo the views of the parent paying his bill and misrepresent the other parent up to and including to lying to the children he is supposedly there to treat

First visit was scheduled for 2 hours for $400 for my 16-year old daughter. The appt. lasted for more than 3 hrs talking about his travels and his education, and was drawing a very DETAILED family tree even including my husband's first wife. He only spent 20 minutes on my daughter. At the end he diagnosed her with OCD (as he did the entire family) and told us to come back for about 2 more appointment for $200/each before he can give us a more detailed diagnosis. He was judgmental and prejudice
