stay away from this hack. first of all his approach to children is comical. Haven't been able to take my son to him without having to drag him in (not the same with his partners). At times awkward with my wife as well. My son had a surgical complication and he was simply not available. Skip him.

Pompous and uncaring. Drove 65 miles to see this mistake for a doctor. Now will drive 400 miles to avoid him. Does not listen; no respect, fear monger. Suggested MG, a debilitating disease , on the basis of a minor exam. His office is as hubristic as he is.Office will do nothing. Expects you to get insurance authorization etc. Does nor even tell you there is an authorization problem until its almost too late. Saw people turned away for lack of authorization. Respects only themselves Worth avoiding

Love Dr Salevitz and office staff. Calling is a problem often having to hold sometimes a long time before an actual person is available to assist. Overall, I'm extremely happy with Dr Salevitz and his staff including his tech person.

Dr. Salevitz saved the vision in my daughter's right (lazy) eye! He's a great doctor with lots of patience and a great bedside manner for both patients and parents. We love, love, love him! The only drawback is that there's a LONG wait to get an appointment.

My daughter loves Dr. Salevitz. He is a very caring person. He explains everything clearly and makes sure he follows up on the problem regularly.

He saw my daughter after an auto accident which caused 6th nerve palsy with crossing of her eyes. After surgery, you can't tell there was ever any problem. He came highly recommended from an out-of-state doctor and we have been very pleased with him as was our daughter. He is very pleasant, always made her feel very comfortable, and explained everything clearly.
