Thank you, Dr Richard E. Levine MD and Staff. I went to see Dr. Levine as a second opinion for cataracts. From the moment you enter the office you are treated with great respect from an exceptionally helpful office staff. My wait time until I was taken back to an exam room was 10 minutes or less. The technician placed several drops in my eye, did readings, and finished with dilation of my eye. Dr. Levine came in. Very friendly and courteous. He did some more testing, then confirm I needed cataract surgery. He explained in detail how the surgery would be done and exactly what to expect afterwards. Surgery was EXACTLY as described. I felt absolutely no pain (they use conscious sedation) and 15 minutes after Dr. Levine, began he was finished. The next day: At the follow-up visit the next afternoon Dr. Levine, was very pleased, I am able to see in clarity, vision great only one day post op in the eye from which the cataract was removed. I’m looking forward to my cataract removal from my left eye next week. In summary if you want the best solution for your cataract surgery, I highly recommend you consult with and then choose Dr. Richard Levine as your surgeon! A huge thank you to Dr. Levine and the surgical team, for making the process "comfortable and virtually painless. Marcia Bruscino All I can say is WOW!!! A+++++Posted on NAVA YAFFA2020Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My name is Zaira Bustamante. I recently had cataract surgery performed by Dr.Levine and I could not be happier with the outcome. From the initial consultation through the post-operative care, Dr.Levine was professional, thorough, and compassionate. He took the time to clearly explain every step of the process and made sure I felt comfortable and confident throughout. The surgery itself was smooth and successful, and my vision is now remarkably clear — truly life-changing. Dr. Levine’s expertise and attention to detail are evident in the results. His entire team was also kind, efficient, and supportive, which made the experience even better. I highly recommend Dr. Levine to anyone considering cataract surgery or seeking expert eye care. His skill and dedication to his patients are unmatched.Posted on JOHN chaparroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful!!
