Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

As my knee doctor and surgeon for many years, I fully trust and highly recommend Dr. Leventhal. I've recommended several colleagues, all of whom became longtime patients of his as well. Dr. Leventhal gets my vote of confidence every time- which for me, is more often than most!

Dr. Leventhal fostered my trust and confidence skillfully. He asked questions. He listened actively, attentively. He communicated clearly. He shared authoritative knowledge. He promoted understanding of my symptoms and treatment options. And then, with assistance from a caring, compassionate team, he followed through on the chosen course of action which has alleviated pain in the near-term and holds the promise of long-term relief. Based on my experience, I recommend him highly. He is an engaging physician who provided focused attention on my care and well-being.

Dr. Leventhal is the best orthopedic physician in West Tennessee. As a former medical sales rep, I know many physicians professionally and personally, and Dr. Leventhal tops the list. He is compassionate and personable, which attributes to his exceptional bedside manner. He thoroughly explains your prognosis and his treatment recommendations, and he is not “scalpel happy” (a.k.a. operate and bill, bill). He genuinely wants his patients to have good outcomes and improvement in quality of life and is not above consulting with another physician for a second opinion if warranted. Dr. Leventhal has seen both my father and son as patients as well, and even months later, he reaches out to ask about their recovery. What stands out to me perhaps the most about Dr. Leventhal is despite having a waiting room full of patients followed by multiple cases at the hospital, he never seems rushed. He treats each patient as if they are his only one. God has used Dr. Leventhal to bless so many people!!

Always kind and taking time to answer questions. It “doesn’t hurt” that his injection technique is virtually painless.

Dr Leventhal is an extremely caring doctor who takes his time to explain everything. He came to the hospital on a Saturday to adjust a cast that was a little uncomfortable. I would gladly refer him to all my friends and family.

I could not be more pleased with the outcome of my total right hip replacement performed by Dr. Leventhal recently. He had treated me for the problem for some time and when it seemed that I would need surgery to enable me to live without pain he explained everything and also explained the possible complications. The surgery was very successful and I’m looking forward to a complete recovery. I highly recommend Dr. Leventhal.
