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 donโ€™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.

My name is Rares Gherghiceanu and I am a former Romanian rugby player.Recently Dr. Levin performed a ACL and a meniscus repair on my right knee , and I guess what motivated me to write this review, is to help others know how dedicated Dr. Levin is to the sport community, especially the rugby one.At the time of this review I'm five weeks after the surgery and everything is going well.Before surgery you've said ' I'm going to take good care of you '. You sure did Doc, and for that I thank you.

Great Orthopedic Doctor
Dr. Stephen D. Levin is associated with Endeavor Health. He is an amazing doctor! He preformed rotator cuff surgery on my right shoulder. From the 1st time I met him he and his staff were nothing but professional, caring and great at their jobs. Once we determined surgery was needed he and his staff took care of everything. We scheduled the surgery, his staff set up the home delivery of anything I needed for post op healing. The surgery was able to be scheduled with limited wait time. I had the surgery on a Tuesday and Dr. Levin saw me on that Thursday. It put me at such ease once we talked about what I was feeling and what to expect in the coming days. I then saw him 10 days later. After the exam and his explanation he made sure to answer any questions I had. After a month he had me start P.T. 6 months later I am back to 100%. Dr. Levin and his staff work really well together. They all made me feel at ease and well taken care of. I would recommend Dr. Levin to anyone!

Excellent MD and Surgeon!
Dr. Levin did a great job with repairing my right torn rotator cuff. This is the 2nd shoulder surgery that I have had with him (left shoulder years ago) and I highly recommend him to anyone! He gets the job done right so that you can get back to whatever activities you like to do!

Trusted professional surgeon.
Doctor Levin has always been great for me. I should know, because he has repaired my knees and shoulders as well as helping me to avoid additional knee surgery. I am very pleased with his work and his advice. Also, I would always recommend him to anyone.

Total Reverse Shoulder Replacement
Yes, I would highly recommend Dr Levin for shoulder surgery. I was experiencing shoulder pain and limited ROM in both shoulders for years. After trying multiple injections it was determined that both shoulders needed total reverse shoulder replacement. Dr Levin replaced my right shoulder Oct 2022 and my left shoulder March 2023. Dr Levin is nothing short of a miracle worker! I have no pain and able to resume my active lifestyle. Kudos also go to his PA Lindsey! Lindsey takes the time to explain everything before surgery and post op. Dr Levin has a great surgical team. One can expect nothing but the best outcome.

Great surgeon!
My husband suffered a "massive" rotator cuff tear. Dr. Levin explained the options for repair. He was very clear that due to the severity of the injury, surgery to repair the rotator cuff tear had a small chance of success. After several months of therapy my husband still had restricted motion and significant pain with activities of daily living. We returned to Dr. Levin to determine options. Dr. Levin recommended a reverse shoulder replacement. Dr. Levin patiently and clearly explained the procedure. He answered all our questions thoroughly. The result of the shoulder replacement is fantastic. The pain and range of motion are both greatly improved and will continue to get better. My husband is so very pleased with the result! We are grateful for Dr. Levin's skill and knowledge.

Reverse shoulder replacement
I made an appointment with Dr. Levin after having shoulder pain for a year and after months of physical therapy. Dr. Levin took the time to explain why I was in pain and why the pain was not likely to subside. After Dr. Levin thoroughly reviewed with me my alternatives, I chose a reverse shoulder replacement procedure. It is now four weeks out from my surgery and my range of motion is becoming greater while the pain is lessening every day. I highly recommend Dr. Levin. His professionalism and care for his patients is outstanding.

All around great doctor with excellent results
Dr. Levin was very engaging with the entire visit and process with my son's knee surgery. He didn't rush any office visits; he listened to our concerns and questions and really explained what was wrong and how he would correct the ACL tear with surgery. The outcome was perfect and his follow up visits and attention to detail were greatly appreciated. My son understood what was expected of him for rehab and he is now back to playing ball with no pain. I would definitely recommend Dr. Levin to anyone who needs an orthopedic surgeon.

Incredible Surgeon - HIGHLY Recommend
Dr Levin is an incredible surgeon, and I am thankful that I saw him for my ACL Revision. Five years prior, I saw a different surgeon and I had an allograft ACL surgery and a repaired torn miniscus - and it was a slow recovery that never really happened. I was on crutches for 10 weeks, had to have a second surgery to remove scar tissue and even though I had a year of PT - still never felt stable. My friend recommended Dr Levin - he instantly ordered an MRI and discovered that the ACL was not connected, the holes were out of place, and unfortunately the surgery needed to happen again, but fortunately Dr Levin did an outstanding job - he separated the surgery into two sessions - one to repair the holes and clean out the old ACL - second surgery to utilize an autograph. I was off crutches in one day - two weeks later could put all my weight on the replaced ACL and am way ahead of schedule on a speedy recovery. When you pick a surgeon, pick the right one - Dr Levin is the right one

Happy Husband
Dr. Levin is a surgeonโ€™s surgeon: honest communication of risks and rewards; analytic prescience; instincts refined through a long and successful career; sure hands; pride in his ability to handle difficult surgeries; respect for his patients as well as his craft; thorough, detailed and truthful summary of his surgery; and post-op care nicely coordinated with physical-therapy schedules. Without hyperbole, all of these attributes were exhibited in my wifeโ€™s reverse total shoulder replacement with Dr. Levin. Kudos must be added for Dr. Levinโ€™s wonderful surgical team, their talent often unheralded, but absolutely necessary for the health of the whole. We did meet Lindsey (a gracious link to everyone!) and his anesthesiologist (excellent medical and people skills), Paul Guillod. We couldnโ€™t be more pleased with the outcome as well as the process leading up to this complex operation.

Amazing doc
Met Dr. Levin in 2012 after tearing an ACL playing football. He was pleasant, patient, and very detail oriented. He got me through the surgery and my surgically repaired knee ended up being stronger than my normal one! He is a very talented and gifted surgeon, I recommend him to everybody I know! He is nothing short of a god-send for me. Thanks Dr. Levin!

Total Left Shoulder Replacement
Dr. Levin originally was going to do a Reverse Shoulder Replacement. On the morning of surgery he informed me he had studied my case and would try to do the Total Replacement as it would allow for better range of motion. He was able to make this change and I have BETTER range of motion, with NO pain. He stayed on top of my Physical Therapy and with his program I am well on the way to complete and full recovery. I fully recommend Dr. Levin for his surgical ability and personable demeanor. All in all, a great experience.

I was quite impressed with the timely and compassionate care I recently received by Dr Levin and his team. My severe shoulder pain was diagnosed and treated within 6 days. I had same day MRI and CT scans! I cannot thank Dr Levin enough for his calming approach and reassurance that he gave me during an extremely difficult time of my life.

Dr. Levin has done both my ACL reconstructions with meniscectomy and both times he did a wonderful job. Dr. Levin makes you feel very safe and secure both pre-op and post-op visits. The operations have always gone smooth as well as his staff/associates being kind and very helpful through the whole process. Overall, my experience with Dr. Levin has been nothing short of perfect.

I highly recommend Dr. Levin as an orthopedic surgeon! I play competitive volleyball, and had been experiencing shoulder pain over the past year. One visit to Dr. Levin, and he immediately identified the source as a torn labrum that required arthroscopic surgery. The procedure went amazingly well -- no pain at all and, at 5 weeks post-op, I already have a significant amount of mobility back in the area! Dr. Levin was clear in explaining the procedure and setting expectations, and was also incredibly patient in answering any questions that I had. He and his staff were welcoming, helpful, and an absolute pleasure to work with! THANK YOU!!
