    Great doc. Loved my appointment with him. He was terrific. And everybody who I encountered there when I had that appointment was terrific, [redacted]

    First of all I was very impressed Dr. Levy was right on time for my appointment. No waiting. Secondly he really wants to get to the root of my dizziness (it's been 5 years) and all the therapy sessions I've had, have done nothing (both in Naples and Martha's vineyard). Hopefully with all of the testing coming up we will find the problem and cure the dizziness.

    It is difficult to put in words how remarkable my experience with Dr. Levy has been during the last five years. I have an autoimmune disorder that has caused a lot of damage to my body. I had the fortune of meeting Dr. Levy and being under his care. He enrolled me in the experimental trial of Ravulizumab for NMOSD patients, which after four years ended with 100% success. During, and after the trial, Dr. Levy has been very attentive and responsive to all my symptoms and questions. I go every eight weeks to MGH for Ultomiris (Ravulizumab) infusions, and I have been free of relapses five years now. All of this had not been possible without Dr. Levy's help.
