I went to Dr. Levy-Cohen for a consult about knee replacement. The entire visit was very helpful to me and answered many of my fears and concerns. I have all confidence in Dr. L-C as well as his PA *** and ***.
Dr. Cohen-Levy is a great doctor. He has done both my knees now he's working on my hips. He takes the time to talk to me explains things to me even though I've been through surgery before it takes time with me. He always answers all the questions for me and my mother. His nurse *** is great. She answers all the questions to all the scheduling. His staff is wonderful.

Dr. Cohen-Levy made time to call me after hours to discuss a different knee with no nickel in it and, was going to do his best to get from another hospital, and get the component cleaned and sterilized, for the planned surgery. Instead of rescheduling the surgery. This was great because we are from *** and over a 5 hour trip, one way. So I was very impressed with Dr. ***, and how personable he is. Highly recommend him to friends and family.

I was unhappy with having to wait over 90 minutes in the room because the doctor had an emergency to take care of with patient before me.
