Testimonial:
"Both my husband and I felt that Dr. Levens was one of the best doctors we have ever met. He was compassionate and upbeat about the process, and always took time to explain and answer any questions we had. When I called him for any concerns during the cycle, he was extremely prompt in returning the call and/or scheduling appointments.

Considering our experience at Shady Grove, I can honestly say that we both have never felt more at ease in a medical setting, and that's something special, because I am a bit of a nervous patient! Making the decision to move to donor eggs was not an easy one; that is why I am so grateful that we had the support we needed to make an educated decision that would ultimately lead to success. We are hoping that everything continues to go well with the next phase of our pregnancy!"

"My husband and I were very impressed with Dr. Levens and the way he treated us. He was extremely careful, approachable and knowledgeable. He offered us his contact information without hesitation. It is really refreshing to deal with a doctor that makes you feel like a patient (not a number) and that really cares about you and takes the time to listen to what the patient has to say. You seldom see that nowadays. We're glad we ended up having him to deal with our case (I had no preference of doctors when I first schedule my appointment)." - Patient, June 2010

I really appreciated the fact that he called me to congratulate me when I found out that I was suddenly pregnant. It was a very nice gesture and showed me that he cared about my well being and wanted to monitor my progress. I know he is very busy and I appreciate him taking the time out of his day." - Patient, October 2010
