5 Star Review on GooglePatient
"Dr. Levchenko is the best. Proposed course of treatment - gel injection - was a winner as an alternative to total shoulder replacement. It is working already. He presents the options clearly and discusses them in detail, answering all questions. When he makes a recommendation you clearly understand the pros/cons and all other options. A refreshing approach in today’s environment. I highly recommend."
