I have a dog that has cluster seizures. Dr. Levine and Kayla are very responsive and always want to know when my Sammie has another seizure. They are super attentive and want to give Sammie the best care possible. Best. Vet. Ever.

I am giving 5 stars because I cant give him more, but Dr. Levine and his staff deserve a 10! We were desperate looking for someone that can check our baby.We arrived with our dog in a lot of pain, unable to move half of his body, deprived of sleeping, eating or drinking.Dr. Levine did evaluation, MRI, and surgery in the same day.24 hours after, we returned home with a more comfortable alert and happy dog. The improvement is amazing.Im not easy to impress but this team definitely did. All were very professional, compassionate, and patience.The only thing I regret is that he is a specialist because I wish Dr. Levine can be our dogs veterinary.His office was 1 hour driving from home and worth each mile.Im not only a happy customer but a grateful dog owner.THANK YOU.

Dr. Levine and his team are THE BEST hands down. They spent a lot of time examining and going over options thoroughly. I especially appreciate the willingness of the team to be so accessible (Thank you Aubrey). Doug and I truly appreciated the individualized care, time, and attention. I drove an hour to see Dr. Levine and his team and it was more than worth it. Thank you again for loving Doug as much as I do.

Drake (our yellow lab) was seen by Dr. Levine and staff on 8/25/21 and was treated very well. Dr. Levine spent a long time assessing Drake neurologically and spoke with me about exactly what he was doing and why he was doing it. It was so appreciated that he was explaining these things. He drew a diagram of what he thinks is going on with Drake and explained in detail what he recommended as a treatment. The entire staff was accommodating, caring, and patient, with Drake and myself answering all the questions and much more. Dr. Levine is very personable and kind. He puts you and your dog at ease, and we were very pleased.

The entire team at Levine Veterinary Neurology is top notch.My dog was in extreme pain and no doctor really could give us a definitive diagnosis. I was given Dr. Levine’s name and within minutes had an appointment to get her in right away.The staff is so professional and that made me feel so much more comfortable that we were finally in the right place for diagnosis and treatment plan. Can’t say enough about Dr. Levine! Our consult was done sitting on the floor and interacting with my pup on her level and actually taking the time to explain what could be happening and why. She immediately was given an MRI and I sat with the doctor reviewing everything; his way of explaining the medical issues made so much sense and I felt 100% confidence in his diagnosis and course of treatment plan. Do NOT hesitate to go to the BEST!

My dog was referred to Dr Levine from his primary vet for forelimb lameness, possibly caused by a neurological reason. All of the staff were super friendly and caring. Dr Levine spent lots of time with me prior to discussing the MRI. Once he received the images he spent a long time going over what he saw. My dog’s issue ended up not being neurological, but he still discussed his opinion and what my options would be in great detail. Instead of just sending me to another doctor, he text the doctor and sent him all of my dogs information. I was able to get in with the other doctor 2 days later. The referral ended up being fantastic and now I have a plan. I am so happy I made the drive to see Dr Levine,

Winston and I recently visited Levine Veterinary Neurology regarding some issues Winston is presenting. The office staff was professional and caring in the treatment of Winston and he was very comfortable in their care. We were assisted first by Charlie(veterinary technician) and then by Alexis(veterinary technician) and Dr. Chris Levine. I feel they all understand Winstons condition and will provide the care necessary to help him get well.

I am so very happy that I made the choice to bring my 2yr old Pekingese, Gus to see Dr. Levine. The entire staff expressed genuine concern for Guss well being. Dr. Levines unique bedside manner immediately put Gus and I at ease. While sitting on the floor, rubbing and examining Gus, Dr. Levine explained what he felt had happened and his best recommendation for recovery. I felt relived after listening to his detailed explanations. I highly recommend Dr. Levine and his staff for any neurological exam and/or treatment you may need for your pet. Thank you so much!

I can not say enough wonderful things about Dr. Levine and his staff. From the moment we walked into the clinic we were treated with the utmost respect and everyone was so caring & compassionate with my dog. My dachshund had a ruptured disk and was in a lot of pain. Dr. Levine got on the floor with him for the exam, keeping my dog comfortable and giving us a thorough explanation of what was happening and the various steps we could take.We opted for MRI and surgery. I was kept in contact and updated on how my dog was doing. I was given a thorough explanation of the MRI that was easy to understand. He stayed overnight and the evening vet nurse answers phone calls at any hour. She alleviated my concerns by talking to me for over 10 minutes and sending me pictures & video. Amazing care at this place!They were very upfront and honest on cost, procedure and recovery. Was it cheap? Definitely not. Would I do it again? In a heartbeat! If your animal needs a veterinary neurologist, go to Dr. Levine!If youd like to see progress & recovery of my dog, videos are on tiktok & Instagram: charcharbinksdachshund

We came in anxious about our dog’s condition and left informed and reassured. Dr Levine is caring, intelligent and honest. His staff, Kayla and Alexis, exhibit the same attitude- friendly and caring. Assuring us that there would be weekly follow-up added to our confidence in the staff and Dr Levine.

Dr. Levine and his staff are absolutely wonderful, and I cant say enough good things about them. Our senior GSD started exhibiting neurological issues, so we brought her in to see Dr. Levine. He is so knowledgeable, kind, and attentive; he patiently talked us through all possible scenarios, diagnostics, and treatments, and thoroughly answered all of our questions. We also met Charlie and Cayla who were amazing and so helpful. Our visit with Dr. Levine was one of the best, if not THE best, experience with a vet weve ever had. He has my trust, and I know my girl is in good hands with him. Thank you so much!

I highly recommend Dr. Levine and his staff. He diagnosed a neurological disorder in my dog, Gizmo, developed a medication protocol, and fully explained the diagnosis and treatment plan. He and his staff were kind, attentive and professional. I was asked to call and report his progress to verify his medications were effective. I have never written a review prior to this but I am so grateful to Dr. Levine for helping Gizmo and for the reassurance and comfort that gives me.

Thank you & the whole team at Levine Veterinary Neurology. Considering the circumstances you made our experience quite comfortable. Dealing with your fur baby can be traumatizing and stressful we left feeling at ease that she is in the right hands with Dr. Levine & his team.

I was blown away by how wonderful Dr. Levine and his staff were. I felt like they truly listened to my concerns and had my pets best interests at heart. Dr. Levine thoroughly explained everything to me about my cats condition and gave me the tools to make the best choices for him. I cannot say enough good things about the whole experience and have already told all my friends that if they ever need a pet neurologist that Dr. Levine is their man.

This was the best experience for both myself and Tango. He didn’t even know he was being examined. Charlie was so kind and kept us updated on a busy morning appointment.

5 stars is not enough for the Dr. Levine and hospital stuff, they definitely deserve much more.When we got home one day, our dog couldnt move half of her body, she was shaking because of pain. From vet emergency we were sent to BluePearl hospital and unfortunately we just wasted time (they couldnt find MRI).Next day BluePearl recommend us to go to Levine Veterinary. Dr. Levine did MRI and surgery in the same day (we arrived after 7 pm). He called me at 6 am just to say, that everything is good and my baby doing good after the surgery.Dr Levine hospital is 2 hours away from us and worth each mile and penny.For now my baby is walking again, thank you Doctor, there are no words that could describe how grateful Im.

Dr. Levine and his staff were absolutely wonderful. My 12 year old yellow lab Zoey was dealing with weak hind legs. Dr. Levine performed a thorough evaluation of Zoey and outlined her treatment options.His team of Aubrey, Alexis, and Cayla were very compassionate throughout the process. Zoey is home and on her road to recovery. I would absolutely recommend Levine Veterinary Neurology to other concerned pet owners. Thank you very much for treating Zoey as one of your own!

Dr Levine and his staff did an excellent 5 star service for our dog, Katy. Dr Levine is very down to earth and takes time to answer all questions.I was sitting in the floor with Katy so she would be less nervous and when Dr Levine came into the examining room he sit on the floor with us and started talking as if we had known each other for years. Great doctor.

We took our miniature schnauzer to Dr Levine for a neurological consult at the recommendation of our vet. Both he and his nurse Alexis thoroughly examined Kaiser and then explained the possible causes of his discomfort and weak rear legs and what out treatment options are. We left with a much better understanding of his condition and an updated treatment plan.

There is not a negative thing I can say about Dr Levine and his team. Dr Levine is incredible. We have, unfortunately, relied upon his expertise and guidance for 3 of our furry kids. One with very rare intravascular lymphoma, one with CM/SM, and one with CM & atypical seizures. He is thorough in explaining absolutely everything. He makes you and your furry child feel comfortable. His team is warm, caring and on top of things. We drive from St Pete because there is not another neurologist we would see. He has our full confidence and trust.

After researching the only 3 neurologists in the Tampa Bay region, I know I made the wisest choice deciding upon Dr Levine. After multiple vets, 4 to be exact, I felt I hadn’t received adequate guidance with my 13 yr old Doberman’s Intervertebral Disc Disease issue, until now. Dr Levine took his time when others are always rushed. He explained his issues in a fashion that were easily understood. He did not push diagnostics or surgery, merely explained the options and gave his professional opinion while also being sensitive to our age and situation. If my boy was younger, I would have zero hesitation to have Dr Levine to perform surgery - his expert skill was remarkably evident. His staff was incredible, welcoming, organized & also very knowledgeable. Just an overall smooth running operation that is run with compassion & heart - a VERY refreshing change to the big corporate Blue Pearl and other vet operations these days. I will be bringing my seizure girl here as well, as she is in need of expert guidance as well. Thank you Dr Levine. Major is up & walking 24 hrs after seeing you, and I feel confident that with the guidance of you & your well trained & educated nurses, that we will keep him that way. It’s clear why your patients love you.

My dog, Annie, is the center of my world. She has IVDD. Although that is extremely disturbing, scary, etc. she is doing well under the circumstances. Taking her to the vet (or typing this review) typically results in my tears. Not one teardrop fell while talking with Dr. Levine and his staff. They were so very understanding and supportive.Dr. Levine offered many ideas for allowing my Annie to continue living a happy life.

I cant begin to describe the anxiety I had going in to our appointment and his entire staff was so patient and kind throughout the entire process. Dr Levine is honestly kind and brilliant and extremely personable!! I wouldnt trust anyone else to care for my baby boy EVER!! I am so glad our baby didnt need surgery today but if he did I wouldnt be nervious at all in the hands of dr Levine and his staff!!! I wish he was our vet :)!!! THANK YOU!!!

Dr. Levine and his team are totally awesome! He is a open honest caring man that takes time with you and your pet like its his own. Our cat Heidi had dental surgery from our family vet to have some abscessed teeth removed and which they did a good job, but the swelling never really got much better, her right eye was still swollen closed about 50% one week after surgery. We went back and they lanced the area of concern to possibly release some trapped infection, they explained to me if this doesnt resolve the issue there could be a serious underlying condition and the next step is to have a MRI. Thank god they referred us to Dr. Levine, in which he found a area of concern that needs to be addressed by a dental specialist. So we are going to Tampa Bay Pet Dentist tomorrow and I have great faith that this will resolve the issue with Heidi based on his referral.

I work at a veterinary ER/Specialty Center in Sarasota and I was a licensed Vet technician for over 20 years. I brought my dog to Levine and was very impressed. They were personable, friendly, knowledgeable, and great with my Rottweiler.

Professional, happy, empathetic and lovely staff. Dr. Levine is by far the best Veterinarian doctor I have ever met in my 15yrs as an animal owner. He is very knowledgeable, honest and goes above and beyond to make pets feel at ease. He is amazing, wish he was a primary vet. Great experience from the appointment, reception, vet assistants/techs to Dr. Levines communication skills. Highly recommended!

I absolutely love this doctor. He saved my dauchund, Sammy. After an accident Sammy was paralyzed and they called their whole team in at 2 a.m. in the morning to save his life. I love this dog as my kid, I was never able to have children, so my fur baby is my everything. Dr Levine explained everything in detail as we went over his MRI. And what to expect. He is the best surgeon and has the education to back it up. He was confident in saving Sammys life and when I left him for the surgery, I was confident in this doctor to save Sammy. He did just that. Sammy walks and runs like nothing ever happened. Of course we are very cautious with him but hes back to normal. I loved his caring demeanor and he shoots you straight. I thank god for Dr. Levine. Hes mine and Sammys life saver, so we owe him Sammys Life to this amazing man. We love you Dr. Levine from the Mathes Family. We will never be able to thank you enough for saving our fur babies life.

Stay away from this office. Dr may think he is great but read all the reviews on here and Yelp. Do your research all they care about is your pocket book. After you pay them they treat you and your pet like youre not important. Any Doctor that doesnt want to follow up on a surgery they performed is not a good Surgeon.

Our experience at Levine Veterinary Neurology was exceptional. It was quite an emotional week when our beloved family pet, Chip, injured his back -then finding out that he needed spine surgery. Levine Veterinary Neurology was extremely responsive to our pets injury. They saw him the same day our vet referred us and was able to do his surgery later that afternoon. While any surgery like this is expensive, I found the pricing to be very reasonable considering the level of expertise required for these types of procedures. I would highly recommend this practice for your pets neurologic needs. We are very grateful that this practice is right her in our own back yard! Thank you for helping our sweet Chip!

We met with Dr. Levine today and could not have been more pleased with our experience at his practice. The front desk workers were very kind and informative, just like they were when I first called for an appointment. We got into an exam room right away and did not have to wait too long to see the doctor either. Before the doctor came in, we met with Charlie, who was also very kind and thorough in recording Jake’s medical history. When Dr. Levine came in, he was warm and welcoming, as if we had known him for years! He got right down on the floor and got acquainted with my pup Jake. Dr. Levine took the time to thoroughly review Jake’s seizure logs and videos before examining him. After the physical examination, we discussed everything from what seizures were, to what we could do to experience better seizure control. Dr. Levine had a perfect way of explaining things, using just the right amount of medical terminology while still making the explanation digestible to a someone who is not a veterinary professional. At no point during the visit did we feel rushed, as Dr. Levine truly spoke with us at length about what we could do for Jake. We must’ve spoken for about an hour and I left with all my questions answered. For years, I had my dog’s seizures treated by a general vet, but the expertise I received from Dr. Levine was absolutely invaluable to us and my only regret is not having made an appointment sooner. Jake is now on a seizure management plan and I feel at ease knowing he is in such great hands. We will be starting a new medicine regiment for him today and I feel optimistic that we will be able to get his seizures under better control. I would recommend Dr. Levine to anyone looking for top notch neuro care for their pet. I only drove 45 minutes to get there, but I’d certainly drive hours for the level of care we received today. Thank you to everyone at Levine Veterinary Neurology!

Review №48

Dr. Levine was friendly and knowledgeable however his staff were unfriendly and lacked basic knowledge when questioned. However, even before doing an MRI Dr Levine was quick to discuss disk surgery (if he found a disk issue) and he significantly played down the possible pain and recovery. Dr. Levine’s cost estimate in my opinion had some questionable items and had a range of cost far greater than Dr. Levine and his staff initially quoted. He and his staff said it would be approximately between $2500 and $3500. The written estimate I was given stated a range of $3400 to $4900 and I had to sign an agreement that I would pay more than $4900 if it was deemed necessary. (Why fish oil tablets and at a cost of $73?) It was clear the upper limit was the more likely cost. That was in addition to the $429 for a consultation two days before the expected procedure. When questioned about the items (not directly related to the MRI) the staffer could not answer some significant questions and refused to allow us to discuss these issues with Dr Levine. The total cost with Dr. James Cook of SCAN in Clearwater, FL was $2700 including an the initial assessment and consultation with a radiologist. I definitely would NOT recommend Dr. Levine.

It has taken me until the quarantine to have the time to write this review, but needed to express my deepest gratitude for Dr. Levine and his entire staff who helped my baby, back in January. My cat had a visit to the emergency clinic on Christmas Eve and they recommended we see a neurologist ASAP. But it was impossible to find a specialist who was available around the holiday. We live in Tampa and I called every emergency clinic in the entire Tampa Bay area for a referral and Dr. Levine came highly recommended by a hospital in Sarasota. I read the reviews and could see why. I reached out via Facebook messenger and was pleasantly surprised to receive an immediate response from Alexis who was so compassionate, and got us an appointment for the following day. Dr. Levine and his entire staff from the techs to the front desk were everything that I had read about. He sat with us on the floor and watched my cat walk, while he observed, asked questions, and spoke to me in a way that was detailed and clear. His sense of humor helped a lot with the nerves I was going through while worried about her. I did not feel rushed at all and he went over all of our options. I left there feeling both hopeful, relieved, and well informed. My cat is doing amazingly and I couldnt be happier and more grateful. I left feeling like there is a place I hope I never need again but will always trust, and will recommend to anyone looking for a caring and knowledgeable veterinary neurology practice.

Review №51

Our chihuahua, ANDY, was suffering from hydrocephalus and Chiari malformation syringomyelia at the age of one and a half years in the summer of 2011. She had difficulties getting up after her symptoms were discovered. At that time, Dr. Chris Levine worked at the Veterinary Neurological Center in Arizona and performed her VP shunt procedure. The day after surgery she improved dramatically, recovering by walking, running, and jumping. The following year when we returned to Japan, many veterinarians told us that the VP shunt would be cloged in a few years. However, no abnormalities were found in the VP shunt from the results of MRI taken in 2016 and 2018. As of 2020, she has turned 10, but remains in good shape. To us Chris is a hero and a saver of her life.

Dr. Levine is truly incredible. I had already brought my Luna into another neurologist that only spent five minutes with Luna and even less time explaining to me what was wrong! So, we decided to make the drive from Clearwater to Sarasota to see Dr. Levine for a second opinion. Dr. Levine took his time and explained everything and went over Luna’s MRI results in detail, not to mention he is very funny and kind! Luna thankfully didn’t need surgery but if she did I would not trust anyone but Dr. Levine to perform it! Since we have left his office has called every few weeks just to check on Luna. This place is truly special and you won’t regret coming here!

Review №55

Levine Veterinary Neurology was thoroughly professional, compassionate and informative when it came to the diagnosis of my Australian Shepherd Chip. Although the diagnosis was not what I had hoped for--Chip had a spinal tumor-- Dr. Levine explained all our options, estimated costs, expected life expectancy/qualify of life, and did so in a way that demonstrated how much he cared about both Chip and me. An MRI is not cheap, but it is definitive; another aspect of Dr. Levines care that impressed me was that he looked beyond what seemed to be the most obvious cause of Chips loss of motor function in his back legs--a compressed disc in the back of spine--to the real cause, which was a small tumor in the middle of it. Had he not done so, its entirely possible I would have spend thousands of dollars on disc surgery that would have provided no improvement in Chips condition. The loving care of Dr. Levines assistants was also much appreciated. I recommend his practice wholeheartedly.

On July 5, 2019 I woke to my little buddy Maxwell not being able to move his left front leg and he was barely using his left rear leg. Thought he just pulled something. I brought him to his Doctor. They told me he had something neurologically wrong with him. Panic mode set in. I stopped in at Levine Neurology and made an appointment to figure out what was wrong with him. I was so worried. Dr. Levine and the staff are so awesome. They really care... Dr. Levine examined Maxwell and explained what the issue could be. He did an MRI and found out that Maxwell had bulging discs that were pressing on his nerve in his spine. Dr. Levine operated on Maxwell and today he is running around the house like he is two years old.I cannot express enough how grateful I am, Dr. Levine and his staff left a mark in my heart forever. I will never forget how caring and friendly they all are. The communication from the start to the finish and even afterwards is amazing. My pup is pain free and happy again. Max just turned 11 on August 5th. Again Thank You for the outstanding experience. I will never forget what you all did for my Maxwell.THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Frank Meola

All of the staff members are friendly and efficient. The tech was terrific with my dog, T-Boy, joining him on the floor and putting him at ease while getting input from me as well as collecting vitals from T-Boy. Also very professional and caring was Dr Levine. He was not rushed, joining T-Boy on the floor and conducting an exam while stroking and talking to T. The exam was very thorough and not rushed. Some parts had to make T-Boy uncomfortable but they were conducted with care. Afterwards, Dr Levine explained his findings, discussed possible causes for T-Boys problems and possible treatments without pushing one alternative over the other. His explanations allowed me to make an informed decision about treatment that was sensible for T-Boys age and history.

We had an appointment to get a second opinion about our dog Maxs condition. The appointment process was easy and the staff was very friendly. Our appointment was at 8:30 and we were seen immediately. One thing I LOVE about this practice is that it is all about the animals. The exam rooms do not have cold steel examining tables. The staff get down on the floor at the dogs level giving them a feeling of comfort. Dr. Levine and staff give the animals room to roam so the animals dont feel trapped. It is a loving and gentle process. The entire visit was almost 2 hours of nothing but a sincere effort to diagnose my dogs condition.. Dr. Levine left no stones unturned. He also did not suggest any treatments for Max that were not necessary or age inappropriate for a senior dog. We would highly recommend this practice for any neurology needs you and your pet might have.

This Clinic and Dr. Levine are Amazing!!!! We had our 1st encounter with him at SCAN in Sarasota a few years ago when he saved our dogs Life!!!! We live in Saint Pete and noticed that a SCAN opened in Clearwater, so we were hoping that he would be at this location. But we learned that he had opened up his own practice in Bradenton!!!! And we dont mind driving the extra distance because Dr. Levine is the Best Neurologist who truly and genuinely cares about all of his patients!!!!During our 1st experience with him he opened up the practice for us and came in on a Saturday to do a MRI for our pet!!!! And he spent hours with us, comforting us and explaining things so that we could understand what was going on and the treatment options. And he is the same in his own practice!!!!

Dr. Levine and his team are top notch. While nobody wants to be in the position to experience a Neurology appointment for their pet, the Levint Veterinary team makes a conscious effort to ease your anxiety about being there. They have a clear love for the animals, are extremely professional and knowledgeable, and go over all the necessary medical information to make sure you are informed of your pets condition. While I was apprehensive about taking this costly step to diagnose our Pugs seizure and the aftermath that followed, Dr. Levine and his team have provided invaluable insight and put us well onto the path of recovery -- we cannot thank them enough!

Dr. Levine’s office is run extremely well. The staff is kind, professional and efficient. Dr. Chris Levine was amazing! He spent more than an hour with us, discussing our concerns and all the possible next steps. We finally feel like we are taking steps in the right direction for our dog!

Dr Levine and his staff were an absolute joy! Everyone was very nice and professional. If youre bringing your pet to this office, youre probably a little nervous. They help you to feel at ease and comfortable while there. Dr. Levine gives a great exam, spends plenty of time with you and explains all your options. Highly recommend this office.

My Shih Tzu was in terrible pain. To this day I do not know what happened. After spending a FORTUNE at other veterinary facilities, one of which is a well known emergency facility, with NO diagnostic or results. I was calling around in desperation, when a veterinary confirmed they were unable to help and suggested I call Dr. Levine. He performed several non-invasive tests and diligently observed her. He gave me treatment choices...all I can say is it has been almost three weeks and she is a normal dog again. The staff was very professional and reached out with concerns for updates during these weeks. What else can I say...thank you Dr. Levine!

Wow! We got up very early to get our Corgi checked out as she has not been able to walk without falling for quite some time. We have had her on steroids and anti inflammatory meds to no avail. Dr Levine sat on the floor with her and she warmed up immediately. He was patient, kind and caring and explained the very complicated alternatives for helping our 13 year old family member. He was covered in dog hair and never seemed to even mind one bit! I understood my options completely. I truly enjoyed my time with the doctor and his lovely staff. The whole experience very easy and clear so we could determine the path we needed to take. I feel very confident and trust that whatever we end up doing with Callie will be the right choice. Thank you to Dr Levine and his great and very efficient staff! I really can t say enough good things. I am relieved! And, so is the entire family! ❤️❤️

Dr. Levine was amazing. Impressed by his knowledge, but frankly even more impressed with how he was with our dog -- rather puppy. The way he went about the examination was brilliant, gaining complete love and confidence from Dunkin. Its no wonder he came with such high recommendations. Its really wonderful when you see someone who so loves his work that it just doesnt seem like work. The whole staff was terrific and anyone who sees them is blessed in knowing you have a great team who truly cares and will give your pet the best care they can.

My first experience (today) was exceptional! From the time I walked in until I walked out I felt they truly cared. Joey the Dr assistant came in first, was so patient and took the time to meet my girl and make friends with her. This means a lot to me since she hates going to the vet and typically just hides and shakes the whole time. He took his time getting all my information (and watching my videos of her).Then Dr Levine came in, great guy (loved the bow tie!). He also was very patient, I never felt he was rushed. He listened, watched my videos and then explained everything he felt were possibilities. He even drew pictures. He was patient gentle warm and caring with my pup.At check in and check out the girls behind the desk were very friendly and accommodating every step of the way. They also were very caring of my pup.Over all experience was outstanding. Definitely recommend.

We walked in to this office totally stressed with our dog paralyzed from the waist down, from what we thought was a fall resulting in a disc problem. The office spent an amazing amount of time even before examining us, explaining all the possible diagnoses, outcomes, and associated costs. This was all done in the kindest of manners. We are glad to report that our little guys, with their extraordinary care, is making a full recovery! I love this office and their caring, supportive staff!I want to give a special THANK YOU to Alexis, Dr. Levines assistant.. My husband and I were beyond stressed initially, and Alexis patiently walked us through every step of the first few days, including catheter care. She saved us multiple ER visits when we were unsure of what to do! THANK YOU FOREVER, ALEXIS!

Dr. Levines office has been amazing to work with! We were referred to them by Blue Pearl & our primary vet after a scary couple weeks with our dogs health. Dr. Levine and his team have always made us feel comfortable and like we are in partnership in our pup Leas care. We would recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone in need of a neurologist for their pet.

Dr. Levine and his staff took excellent care of our precious Black Lab/ Chow Chow. She had back surgery and is doing just great. She was walking and standing the next day. She is on the road to complete recovery. We are fortunate to have a Veterinarian Neurologist near us. We highly recommend Dr. Levine. Your pet will be in good hands with him!

Our 11 year old lab had some minor surgery but had complications after anesthesia. Our vet recommended Dr. Levine. From the moment we walked in the door we felt welcomed by the staff and they truly showed concern for our dog, Satch. Then we met Dr. Levine. He spent a considerable amount of time with us most of it sitting on the floor with our dog. He is on his way to, hopefully, a full recovery. We are so fortunate to have a Dr. of this caliber locally in Lakewood Ranch. If your pet has neurological needs this is the place you want to be.I would love for him to be my doctor.You know that Dr. Levine as well as all of his wonderful staff truly care. Special thanks to Erica who checks in with us every couple of days.

Dr. Levine and his staff are absolutely phenomenal! We felt welcome from the first step in to the last step out. Dr. Levine himself impressed us greatly when he physically got down on the floor for our entire visit to check out our sweet Bella. He knew almost instantly what the problem was and that it wasnt serious yet he took almost an hour to speak to us and answer miscellaneous questions. The staff even reduced our cost significantly when we discovered it wasnt the referred medical issue, nor anything as serious. Additionally, his office has sent informative followup emails and called a week after the visit to check on Bella, with intentions of checking in again at the two week mark. Overall, Dr. Levine and his staff impressed us as they all genuinely care for the wellbeing of pets, not just bank accounts. We wouldnt hesitate one bit to reach out to them or refer them to anyone (Id get 10 stars if Google would allow it)!

If you want to give away money ($7000) and have your dog suffer and the Dr and staff not care. Then this is the place to come to. (Sarcasm) stay away from this place. They are heartless and liars only want your money then they neglect your pet.

Our chihuahua was having some significant neurological issues and we were fortunate to find Dr. Levine. He spent a lot of time examining Nella, discussing his findings, going over all the options of diagnosis and treatment in great detail. Did not feel rushed at all. We got an MRI which demonstrated the problem and are on a course of treatment which will hopefully resolve the problem. Couldnt have been more satisfied.

Dr Levine was great. He was very kind and loving to my dog Raven. He was down to earth and understood my situation with her being end of life. I’ve been to a few doggie neurologists and they had zero personality or compassion. He spent a lot of time with us and we all sat on the floor at one point. I would absolutely recommend him and would go see him again, if needed. Worth the drive.

Dr. Levine is a brilliant doctor. He spent a great deal of time explaining the situation related to our cats illness and discussing options. He then did a thorough job explaining the results and discussing the treatment plan. The support staff really goes out of their way to make the visit as comfortable as possible. We felt that Mikee was in great hands with Dr. Levine and his staff.
