We are always thrilled when our patients get good results and when they share their story, it is much appreciated. Thank you ❤️


"I just want to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Gregory Levitin for his outstanding work. I developed what is called a pyogenic granuloma on my lower lip that became the bane of my existence for 3 horrific months! I saw Dr. Levitin and we battled with it for those 3 months before we decided on surgical removal. We tried silver nitrate and laser several times and was eventually successful at removing it, but the root caused it to grow right back in 1 weeks' time. The best solution we collectively decided was surgical excision. Before discussing the fantastic results , I want to prioritize his bedside manner and how safe, seen and taken care of he made me feel the entire way. His entire staff is AMAZING with communication and overall making you feel welcomed into their space. Setting up surgery was a breeze! Then the day of surgery, going under anesthesia is no easy task emotionally, but I felt so assured that he would take perfect care of me. My results are as nothing ever happened to my lip! I am back to my confident self and just TRULY grateful to have been referred to Dr. Levitin. Amazing at what he does and I really hope my testimony makes all future patients confident to choose him as one of their providers should they EVER need."
