Dr. Levine was everything you hope a doctor to be and more. He’s super attentive, clear and direct while having a positive perspective and friendly demeanor. He made me feel that my journey to read more... pregnancy was just as important to him as it was to me. Currently pregnant after one IVF transfer, I’m so happy that we switched from another facility to CCRM. We highly recommend CCRM and its staff…particularly Dr. Levine and cannot wait for the arrival of our baby girl.
CCRM NY, and Dr. Levine, in particular, have changed the way I think about my healthcare in general, and I will truly never be the same. The bar is permanently raised! He is the anti-paternalistic read more... doctor to such an extent that I never could have imagined that a doctor-patient relationship could be this way. He was truly my advocate and we were partnered in my care. I felt empowered and informed throughout the process. Everything, absolutely everything, was customized to me as an individual human, from the protocols to the way we made decisions about my care. He even considered psychological and emotional effects of certain decisions, and not just treatment by the numbers and the probabilities. There was no detail that went unnoticed to him, and his nuanced care is truly a gift.
We can’t thank CCRM and Dr. Levine enough for their care, guidance and support! From the minute you walk into CCRM you are met with staff that knows you by name and showcases genuine care for your read more... physical and emotional well-being. Dr. Levine was a breath of fresh air. His positivity and energy is off the charts. We walked into CCRM full of anxiety; however, after every appointment, we left feeling confident, calm and assured. Most importantly, he took the time to get to know my husband and I, what our dreams were as well as what kept us up at night worried. He understood our case (from a medical and emotional perspective) and based off of this was not fast to push us to treatment (via medicine / or invasive procedure). While other practices may quickly lead you to treatments, Dr. Levine did not think it was necessary for us. Instead, he worked with us to come up with a game plan that we were comfortable with. You can really ask Dr. Levine any question. No question is off limits. He answers everything with a warm smile and reassurance. Dr. Levine is willing to accommodate tough schedules taking some of the stress out of scheduling appointments.”
Choosing Dr. Levine to help us through our challenging fertility journey was one of the best decisions we ever made. In addition to having a calming and hopeful bedside manner, Dr. Levine is at the read more... forefront of his field and unafraid to pursue treatments that may not be obvious, which ultimately led to the birth of our beautiful and healthy son. Often (and certainly in our case) infertility is not linear and a treatment that may work well one cycle may fail the next. Having a patient, trustworthy, and incredibly understanding physician like Dr. Levine who is unafraid to try several approaches is invaluable. Where other doctors would have given up on us, Dr. Levine, his partners and the wonderful staff at CCRM continued to devote their maximum efforts to giving us a child. We are forever grateful.
5) Dr. Levine is amazing. After a disappointing and confusing year at a different clinic, Dr. Levine (and CCRM generally) was a breath of fresh air. We actually got pregnant after one month (one monitored cycle) with Dr. read more... Levine. Unfortunately, we lost the baby at 10 weeks and decided to go the IVF route. Throughout the process, Dr. Levine was clear, direct, and yet always asked how we were doing with everything. After a successful retrieval and a delayed transfer due to COVID-19, we are pregnant and so hopeful and excited for the future. As I encounter more and more women who are in my position, I always tell them about Dr. Levine and CCRM. No woman should have to go through this, but if they do, they should feel like they have a specific and data-driven plan to get pregnant. That's how we felt. No guessing, just deliberate direction with what to do next. Thank you to Dr. Levine, Elana, and the whole team at CCRM. We'll see you in a year or two!
6) Infertility can be a journey of fear, confusion, and anxiety. But being at the right center the same journey can be transformed into a positive and hopeful experience. From the minute I met DR. Levine read more... I knew I had found the right place. His vast background knowledge and sense of humor form a winning combination. He is the most wonderful Dr. I had ever met. Never was a question too small or a concern too big for him to tackle. Whenever I entered his office confused or uncertain I always left reassured and hopeful. He was always so clear and patient in explaining any medical issue or treatment plan. His positivity throughout left no room for worry! Just as amazing he is that's what an amazing staff he has. They are a team of knowledgeable and caring people. Sounds ironic but going for monitoring in the morning really started my day on a positive note. The cheerful good mornings rang in my ears throughout my day. The atmosphere there is how can I help you and make your journey less stressful. Another amazing feature is the patient portal never was a question left unanswered or a request unfulfilled. It eases so much of the stress knowing that someone is always there for you. The arduous journey has been made so much more bearable by the work of Dr. Levine and his wonderful team. I'm so glad that I was recommended to this AMAZING center. Wishing you a short and successful journey!
