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.

Dr. Levy is a brilliant Neurosurgeon and even with all his success and credentials, has the humility to look at every case as a chance to learn new things, improve in skill, and give a second chance at life to his patients. Our son had a case mild Metopic Craniosynostosis with Autism at 20 months. The decision to do the surgery was the most difficult thing we have ever encountered in life and my wife survived Stage 3 Brest Cancer during our boy's pregnancy. It has never been easy for us but now after his Craniosynostosis surgery, our boy has gained back the ability to look us back in the eyes just a month after. Other improvements include reaching and craving human contact. He is also more concentrated and completing puzzles that were impossible for him to even attempt. We are now very optimistic about his future with therapy. Thank you very much for believing in our case and executing the surgery as we requested based on recommendations from other Doctors, you are a man of charac
