I received probably the best care from Dr Conan-Lavy and nurse *** than I have ever experienced anywhere. After hours conversations, phone call and check ins on my post procedure well being was daily and made me feel like I was their only patient. On a scaling 1-10 this surgical team that was off the charts. My family felt better, I felt as ease which made the whole process less stressful.
Dr Cohen-Levy is a caring professional who gives his entire attention to me as his patient. He answers all my questions and asks for my input into my care. I have mentioned him to numerous people who might need his care with the highest recommendation.

Dr. Cohen Levy is extremely knowledgeable. He explained everything, even what I didn't want to hear. He told me my new knee is going to take time to heal. He is a Godly man, I like that most about him and his surgical skills. My previous physical therapist recommended him to me because of his skill. He not only straighten my leg which made it the same length as my other leg the surgery also eliminated excruciating hip pain I had when I walked. I am eternally grateful to him for that. Thank you doctor.
