What patients say

Patients praise

  • Appreciation for physicians who take time to listen and properly diagnose conditions
  • Favorable outcomes from well-communicated, comprehensive treatment plans (e.g., physical therapy over invasive procedures)
  • Helpful pain management educational resources and classes

Common complaints

  • Dissatisfaction with administrative processes, including insurance pre-approval delays and scheduling difficulties
  • Perceived lack of empathy or being rushed during appointments
  • Concerns regarding the efficacy of treatment plans or dismissive attitudes toward symptoms
  • Reports of long wait times and communication gaps with clinic staff

In patients' words

"During three visits, Dr. Levin spent a sum total of 8 minutes with me and after an MRI said there was nothing he could do to treat my spinal issues... Dismissive and very ineffective."

Healthgrades review for Dr. Joshua Levin

"Not a pill pusher or over aggressive with injections or MRIs. Went through the range of options. I decided on therapy. Very happy."

RateMDs review for Dr. David J. Kennedy

"The doctors might be good at procedures... but the entire clinic is incompetent. It's taken me over a year... [and] they failed to contact my insurance company for pre-approval until the week before."
