Dr. Ilan Simha Levinson, MD

If you can go somewhere else please do. They do not care about their patients, they do not have any urgent protocols for patients in crisis which does more harm to the patient then none. Dr.Levinson is the most harmful provider you can see. He is very entitled, he does not care about the well being of his patients. Avoid this office at all cost. there are providers here that are kind and do a great job. But between the front desk and their leadership they lack empathy for patients.

What a joke. I literally called for an appointment she asked if I do medication. I said yes. Then got rude and said we only do medication her and hung on up on me. What seriously unprofessional way to handle mental health. Should be ashamed. Like do you listen when people speak or only care if they pay out of pocket.

Their website was being all buggy and I called the place so they called me to tell me I would have to reschedule for 3 weeks away after I waited 1 month to hmu ave the appt. my anxiety is so that I keep crying at random times and I pass out in public. Will definitely be finding a different doctor

ications. One doctor at Yale also suggested Clozapine. We started looking for a doctor who prescribes Clozapine. It was hard to find one. After initial intake, Dr. Levinson started saying “Look. It seems like your child tried many antipsychotic medications, but she didn’t respond well. “(which was true. She tried five kinds of antipsychotic medications over six months, but they had only partial effect with many unpleasant side effects.) Dr. Levinson continued. “Now there is this medication called Clozaril...” That is when I cut him off saying “Yes, please!” I usually wait until my turn, but I was desperate to give our daughter the medication as soon as possible. We missed our child so badly. He looked very surprised. My husband and I explained how we did research on Clozaril, so we learned how effective Clozaril is on the patients who are resistant with other antipsychotic medications. I also told him that we are aware of the side effects, but we are willing to start… Clozaril for our daughter. We noticed the sign of recovery after three weeks she started taking Clozaril. She continued to recover slowly, but steadily. She was almost old self. However, she still heard voices every now and then. Dr. Levinson suggested to add another medication which is usually used for the treatment for epilepsy. We didn’t like the idea of adding more medication, so we told Dr. Levinson we want to think about it. He always understands, and gives us some time to think. After a couple of weeks, we asked him we want more information about supplemental medication. Dr. Levinson quickly sent us a video of this doctor explaining how adding another medication to Clozaril works. It was very resonating, so we asked to add Lamotrigine right away. Our daughter’s recovery sped up. Dr. Levinson is kind and patient, also he is on top of the latest information of the medications. Our daughter’s doctor from the hospital asked us for his contact because she knows it is hard to find a good doctor who prescribes Clozaril. Also, the therapist our daughter sees wanted Dr. Levinson’s contact info because it is simply hard to find a good conscientious psychiatrist who is good with young patients. She told me that her clients are so happy to know Dr. Levinson. Those parents call Dr. Levinson “a God Send”, and I totally agree with them. Thank you Dr. Levinson!

My daughter suffers from treatment resistant schizophrenia and Dr. Levinson was tremendous in assisting my daughter in her recovery. He was patient and effective in prescribing the medication that my daughter required. In particular, Dr. Levinson supports prescribing the medication clozapine/clozaril which other physicians shy away from due to the heavy monitoring requirements. This treatment has been very effective and my daughter has recovered a great deal under Dr. Levinson's care. We are thankful that Dr. Levinson both recommended this treatment option, but that he also supports it when other physicians will not.

The girls are the Lehighton office are fantastic! I love their personalities, they are always welcoming, and I've yet to see anything bad about this office. Keep going back solely for them.

When you walk in the door of the office you are immediately bombarded with a moldy, cigarette stench. Everything is filthy, and I didn't even want to sit down out of fear that I'd catch a staph infection. The actual visit was a joke, with the "Doctor" saying that he does not prescribe the medication that I take. Even after explaining that I have no history of addiction problems he would not listen to a word that I said. He then told me that he would only prescribe a certain type of medication even after I had told him that I have negative reaction. Rather than wasting my time I don't see why the office staff couldn't have just told me that the doctor does not prescribe what I take.

Went to dr Levinson for consultation. He was so rude and disrespectful. He practically yelled at me. I walked out in tears. Asked me a lot of questions and didn’t even listen to the answers.

The office just seems creepy to me. I went there about 10 times and each time, i saw a different nurse, doctor, or student. Only one time did i actually see Levinson. He is very soft spoken. I could see why other patients would consider the office staff as rude but i never had any problem with them. Biggest issues i see are 1. Seems like there are over 200 appointments a day. 2. Seems like many of the patients are there because the courts sent them there. 3. There literally is no place to park.

I am hook on Opioids try to break off twice could not do it went to Dr. Levinson First thing because of the number of people in the waiting room he could not talk to me about my condition ask couple of question and wrote a script for more medicine. It was fine for the first three visits then I got sick and went to the emergency room where they have me medicine couple of days went to Dr. Levinson where he check my urine found the medicine that the emergency room gave me and threw me out. He would not listen to me or look at the emergency room paper that stated the medicine that they gave me. So now I have to cold turkey from the medicine that he gave me. This is a bad doctor do not go to him
