Dr. Levinson is an exceptional surgeon. It’s been two weeks since my surgery, and my eyesight in my right eye has almost completely recovered. Apparently, he’s one of the top surgeons at RWG. My surgery took an hour and a half, and since I was aware of my surroundings during the eye surgery, I was able to hear what was happening around me. I could tell he was in complete control of his craft.

Dr. Do is amazing. When I was first diagnosed with AMD, I cried becaause I thought that was a blindness sentance. He reassured me that he would not let that happen, and he hasn't. After 5 years, my eyes are stable and I have good vision in spite of having AMD. I am very grateful for his excellent advice and care.

I've seen Dr. Do only 3-4 times. Each time was a really great experience. He is kind, he listens , he's caring and I have never felt rushed. Really a wonderful physician. The office seems to be very well run and all of the front desk people are quite nice. Over all, I look forward to my visits believing there will be no snags on board!!
