Gail Levee MD

I haven’t had a primary care physician in years, even decades. I’ve never been one who looks forward to going to the doctor for any reason. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised the first time I walked in Dr. Levee’s office. No waiting, friendly staff, and completely knowledgeable and understanding doctor! What more could you ask for in a primary care physician? I’ve now been there twice and have found my doctor for life. Love, love, LOVE Dr. Levee and the fact that she has changed my opinion of regular doctor visits. :-)

So, I switched to Dr. Levee as my primary care physician, since my last PC ended up moving and leaving my network. Initially I had said that I wanted a doctor who was patient, sweet and kind and great beside manner. Since I kind of have anxiety, I knew I needed a doctor that would be able to understand that. When Dr. Levee first walked in the office and started talking, I was like «this lady is not very warm or nice, and I can’t wait to get home so I can yet again switch my doctor». However, as the appointment went on, she grew on me, and I realized that maybe the «sweet candy like» doctor is not exactly what I needed after all. Dr Levee is about her business, making sure that she gives you the best care, to her knowledge and with the information that she has. She’s not your «June Cleve“r type of doctor. However, she will make sure to give you the information that you need and she never once made me feel like she just wanted to prescribe medications to me and then send me on my merry way.
I gave her a hard time about my medications, and she stood strong and stood her ground on what she thought was best and why. On our first visit, she wanted to give me an EKG and I had already had one before I came to see her, and she didn’t care, she wanted to make sure her office gave me one to see for herself what the results were before prescribing my medication. Dr. Levee appeared to care about me as a patient. She’s not your hold your hand, stroke your back kind of doctor, but she’s good and so far I am pleased.
Now her staff on the other hand… the lady who checks you in, I am not sure what her name is, but she is always very kind and warm. Dr. Levee’s nurse or PA the one who takes your vitals, she is not very personable, and at least every time that I have come, appears to not enjoy her job very much. Maybe she is going through something, however, sometimes you have to leave it at the door. I personally would much rather deal with the other lady. Other than that, I’d recommend Dr. Levee and believe you me, should I experience otherwise, I will be writing another review!

The physician’s assistant, Britney, no longer works here. (I wonder why?) Instead, Dr. Levee now has David, who is very nice and professional. They gave me a same day appointment for an annual check up. He followed up quickly and was very courteous. The office staff however, always manages to mess up my bill to the insurance.

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Levee for too many years to remember. We think she is wonderful. Unlike most doctors she takes the time to listen to you and ask questions. She and her staff are always ready to help with any inquiry you may have and will try hard to get you a last minute appointment should you need one. They keep their office running on time and I don’t recall ever having to wait past my appointment time. I recommend her to everyone.

AVOID this doctor…
Please do yourself a favor and do not see this doctor, Gail Levee. She admitted she does not know what is wrong, but continues to prescribe different medications every other week. When asked what she was treating me for, she said she really did not know. Was just trying different drugs to see if one happened to work. I voiced concern over my condition and explain I was very worried as this has been going on for some time. Her response was «i am very concerned too, not sure what it is» REALLY DOC after all this, dont you think a referral to a specialist would be helpful or possibly blood work?
She does not care about her patients! Do not go to Dr. Gail Levee if you need to see a doctor!

Best Doctor in the South Bay. EXCELLENT referrals to specialists.

I highly recommend Dr. Levee and her Physicians Assistant Britney. I have been going Dr. Levee’s office for the past four years and have had no issues with paperwork, getting apointments or billing.
I have had some minor medical issues all of which were addressed with labs etc. in a timely manner.
Dr. Levee has helped me out twice where I think she went above and beyond– once when I forgot to take along a Rx and she called it in for me on Thanksgiving (which I felt terrible about) and another time when I was having severe pain, showed up at her office and she fit me in.

I like Dr. Levee, but a lot of things get overlooked in her office. Both times that I’ve seen the PA Britney, Britney hasn’t even looked at my chart before coming in and seems completely unprepared to talk about what’s going on. It’s very difficult to schedule an appointment with Dr. Levee, so you often have to see Britney.

I was looking for a new primary care physician in the South Bay because my previous doctor was a major failure!
I used the Aetna DocFinder and after much research I selected Dr. Gail Levee. During my first visit I was seen by Britney the PA instead of Dr. Levee I was a little concerned because I had specifically picked Dr. Levee. However, Britney proved to be a great PA & now I feel lucky because not only is the Dr. outstanding but so is Britney!
Both Dr. Levee and Britney are very thorough and attentive. They always asks me pertinent questions and ensure that I have the best care. What brought me into this office was a condition that had gone unresolved and undiagnosed for two years! Britney ordered a few lab tests, x-​rays and an MRI and with Dr. Levee’s assistance and a referral to a specialist
my problem was finally diagnosed! For two years every other doctor I saw wasn’t able to do what this office was able to do for me.
I want to give the office staff credit as well because they had to deal in length with my insurance company and helped me file an appeal when they declined my MRI request. The staff was patient and worked hard for me and coordinated everything between me, their office and my other doctors to get the backup and documentation we needed to appeal the decision. They call in my perscriptions to my pharmacy for me and I’ve never had issue with billing or making/​canceling appointments.
If it weren’t for Dr. Levee, Britney and the office staff my issue would still be unresolved. They didn’t give up! They kept exploring different exams and pushed and pushed until I got the care I needed and the correct diagnosis! Every time I go in they review my chart and follow up on things from before and monitor everything very thoroughly!
I’m very content with the care I get here.

I don’t recommend Dr Levee if you want a FULL physical.
