I first saw Dr Levine on 11/21/22 for debilitating right shoulder pain I had been having for approximately 9 months, making sleep difficult. He and his resident and medical student all examined me and came to the conclusion that I had bursitis. Although as a nurse myself it didn’t seem like the correct diagnosis, he claimed my X-ray appeared totally normal and recommended that I see another doctor in the practice, Dr Morgan Busko, for possible cortisone shots into the site. I saw Dr Busko on 12/7/22, and after her exam she determined that cortisone injections were an appropriate treatment to try and alleviate the pain and inflammation. She injected it into several areas in the right shoulder blade. I had relief from the pain a few days later, and it lasted for approximately 1 1/2-2 weeks, but the pain then returned. I went back to her on 1/25/23 with the intention of doing more cortisone, but at that point the pain was traveling down my right arm into my forearm, so based on her exam and my complaint she recommended I get an MRI. The MRI was done the following week, on 1/31/23, and the radiologists report was posted in my chart online by that Friday. As a nurse I was able to decipher the multiple issues, a tear in the labrum as well as a small tear in one of the rotator cuff tendons along with all four rotator cuff tendons showing signs of aging/overuse. I did my research and found a procedure that was done arthroscopically that seemed like a great fit to both heal the tears along with slightly reversing the wear and tear on the tendons. I called Dr Levine’s office back to schedule a follow up and discuss options. A telemedicine appointment was scheduled for the following Friday, 2/10/23. At that point they had not called me to discuss the results. I signed in for my telemedicine appointment ten minutes early, following office directions. The page I was on told me to hold on that the doctor would be with me shortly. By 20 minutes after appointment time I figured something was wrong so I went back to the directions and saw it said to have zoom downloaded also. Nothing saying to go through zoom for the appointment, only to go through the my chart app. But I gave it a go with zoom and there he was, and apparently annoyed at what he perceived was my tardiness. He never explained the results of the MRI. When I told him I had seen the radiology report he very curtly replied that he had more importantly seen the images. Never informed me what he saw, so I told him I had done research and was curious if he did bioinductive collagen patches. He again curtly informed me that that is a surgical procedure and he is not treating what I have surgically. So I then asked if he even does that procedure and repeated that he he does but he will not do that on my injury. He then tells me that I need a cervical MRI. No explanation, no going over why he felt that the tears in my shoulder were not the cause of my pain. And no discussion as to how he would like to treat the issues he saw on the images. And that was essentially the end of my visit. As of today, 3/6/23, the cervical MRI was denied by my insurance, which the radiology office informed me was the case, NOT Dr Levine’s office. So I am back to square one finding a doctor who actually listens and is able to put his ego aside, and I am still unable to sleep because of the debilitating pain. Dr Busko was lovely but she is unfortunately not a surgeon. I absolutely do not recommend Dr Levine, I would actually recommend that you go to anyone but him if you are looking for an orthopedist.
