I was referred to Dr. Levy several years ago. At the time, traditional neurosurgery seemed the only option for my particular problem; however, the side affects - at least in my case - would have been calamitous. Dr. Levy performed two innovative intravascular procedures over the course of three months, which not only saved me from being institutionalized or worse, but had no lasting side effects. Each procedure kept him on his feet for five to six hours. He was nothing less than patient, kind and highly professional. Should a similar problem arise, I'd be on the next plane for San Diego.
