Grand Central Podiatry — Local services in New York

I've been putting off writing a review about Dr. Levi because I have so many great things to say that I knew it would take some time. Before I go on, if you have foot problems, don't waste your time reading my lengthy review, just call and make an appointment right now. Dr. Levi is THE BEST.

I knew I had to have bunion surgery on both feet but I've never had surgery before and was very nervous about the process. I scheduled consultations with two podiatrists who were recommended by friends who had the same surgery. While reading Yelp reviews about the two recommended podiatrists, I came across Dr. Levi, who is one of the only doctors I've found who has nothing but five-star reviews, so I scheduled a consultation with him, as well.

I won't dwell on my experiences with the other two doctors but I was basically told by both that it was a difficult surgery that would put me out of commission for 5 months or more followed by a slow recovery and physical therapy. Aside from wishing that I didn't have to have the surgery at all, I was very concerned about the length of recovery time. I'm an active person and couldn't imagine being basically immobile for so long.

Luckily, I met Dr. Levi, who put me completely at ease. His attitude was completely different than the others. He was incredibly positive and calming and unlike the other doctors who said I would be off my feet for weeks following surgery, Dr. Levi told me I would walk out of the surgery center the same day. I had a million questions and Dr. Levi spent SO much time with me to make sure I had every possible piece of information. He assured me that while recovery would take time, I would be able to resume some activities sooner than I was told by others and I would most likely not need physical therapy. I scheduled surgery with him a few weeks later.

I had surgery on my right foot on Dec 30th and the left on Jan 13th and I walked out of the surgery center (in surgical boots) both times, as Dr. Levi said I would. One month later, I was back in spin class and a few weeks after that, I was able to do just about everything else. Talk about under-promise and over-deliver! I expected to be sitting on the couch eating cookies for five months so I couldn't believe I was spinning, running, and wearing heels just a couple months after surgery.

I had followup appointments with Dr. Levi for a while and looked forward to visiting the office each time. His staff is incredibly friendly and caring - Dee Dee texted me from her own cell phone to see how I was doing and greeted me with a huge smile every time I was there. Any time I called with a question, I received a call back from Dr. Levi immediately.

Surgery is neither fun nor easy but this experience was overwhelmingly positive and I feel so lucky that I found such an...

I visited Dr. Levi in January 2019. I was in great pain suffering from a problem with the big toe that my previous doctor had been unable to help me with for a long period of time.

Dr.Levi was very personable and friendly when I met him during my first visit. He asked me many questions regarding my problem and carefully made his diagnosis. I was very impressed that he was so thorough and took a great deal of time to diagnose the situation.

Dr. Levi then scheduled an appointment to perform a procedure on my toe a few days later. He performed the procedure in such a thorough and professional manner that I hardly felt anything at all.

It is now approximately two weeks since the procedure, and I can report that the pain which has been with me for two years is now gone, and the wound is healing beautifully.

Dr. Levi inspires confidence. He is a very knowledgeable and thorough doctor. Before going through with any kind of procedure, he takes his time and very carefully diagnoses and analyses the situation. It is also a pleasure visiting him as he is very friendly and sees to it that your visit is a productive and worthwhile experience.

I am very very happy that I have discovered Dr. Levi. My wife and I will be making visits to his office on a regular basis. I highly recommend Dr. Levi. He is truly an exceptional and caring...

I made an appointment through ZocDoc the day prior based on all of the positive feedback and received a voicemail the next morning from Valerie to confirm the appointment. First of must say that the staff is extremely nice. I returned the call after getting off of the train and was really happy because she knew exactly who I was without much detail. My appointment was for 10 but with work, I decided to see if I could get in a bit earlier so that I could get back to work. Not a problem. I went in for 9:45, filled out very quick paperwork and Dr. Levi was there to see me within a few minutes.

We got started talking about the issue and he immediately started to explain to me exactly what was going on. It helps that he took the time not only to explain how the issue was impacting me at the moment but would also impact me down the line. I knew that it was something to take care of as soon as I could. The other thing I enjoyed was that he was very conversational. He allowed me to ask questions, made jokes, and kept the mood really light. He made sure to let me know of my options before any drastic measures had to be taken.

I have a follow up in a few weeks and look forward to heading back in. Dr. Levi is great and the reviews aren't...
