Jane Levitt, MD

she is very nice, personable and I’m sure is terrific in many ways. BUT — she is negligent with paperwork to the point of compromising patient care. Sat on my preop ECG and other paperwork for over a week, threatening the cancellation of my surgery. In addition, she prescribed the wrong dosage for my medication. Her explanations ranged from «I don’t understand faxes» to «oh I thought your dosage was different.»
The majority of the staff is uninformed, unhelpful and unresponsive.

I don’t understand the other reviews posted here. They could possibly be referring to the doctor’s old office. Dr. Levitt is a concerned and caring doctor. Whenever I call to make an appointment, the staff is always polite and professional. If you need a vaccination, there is a nurse right there who could give you the vaccine.

AVOID THIS DOCTOR! I saw her at her new offices at 10 E 102^nd St. She’s one of the worst out there!!! She doesn’t listen, she cuts you off while you are talking, she doesn’t pay attention — instead she is busy trying to enter data into her computer which she sucks at using because she is old school and hates technology (she mentioned this during my visit). You would be better off finding another competent doctor in her practice.

dont go here, its impossible to get a referral

Dr. Levitt is great. She is nice, energetic, friendly and takes the time to get to know you and explain medical issues. She definitely will take care of you.
If you make it past her staff…
Her staff are rude, short on the phone, frequently will transfer you to hold by saying «HOLD!», or «HANG ON!», if you ask anything remotely prescription related, will transfer you to the prescription line without saying a word. Oh by the way, the prescription line is an answering machine, and no one will get back to you. I tried to get a simple prescription filled today, and it was a complete nightmare. My pharmacy also tried to call them twice to unscrew a prescription that didn’t come through, and they were sent to the pharmacy line as well.
Believe me, I spent 6 years in the Army, I am not thin skinned, and I am used to a rather callous medical system. These ladies are bad even by New York standards.
Too bad really, she would be 5 out of 5 if her office staff weren’t so atrocious.
