I am beyond thankful for everything Dr. Elie Levine has done for me over the years. The most recent is finally deciding to have a breast reduction. I'm so upset I did not do this sooner with Dr. Elie, my other surgeries were perfect but I was afraid of what I would look like mentally and emotionally speaking. Dr. Elie has greatly improved my quality of life. My breast reduction is better than what I wanted. He's been so caring, understanding and has a ton of patience for all my questions before and after surgery. I suffer from severe asthma and AS SOON AS I woke up from surgery, I can breathe better!!! I didn't feel like I have a watermelon sitting on my chest.... my neck pain, shoulder pain, back pain and upper arm pain was gone immediately. I suffered from chronic knots in my shoulders and I never thought I'd get rid of those, sometimes the pain was unbearable and I couldn't sleep. My boobs look like they did back in high school!!! It was always so hard to lose weight because of my size H breasts, having PCOS and LVH. I've had liposuction which greatly improved my health since it was always so difficult and now having this breast reduction, I'm excited for this new chapter in my life where I can do more at the gym without all the pain I was having, actually fit bras, finally wear nice clothing without feeling embarrassed because of how large my chest looked in clothing and my side boob doesn't hit my arm anymore especially when I'm diving. I am so grateful for Dr. Elie Levine!!! read more

I had a breast reduction under Dr. Levine. He reduced the right side, minus 1/3 of my nipple and sewed it up so I have a skin clef. He cut open my left breast, closed it up without reducing it. I now have a DD cup left side and a C cup right. He said he would "fix" it. I would not allow him to do any more work on my body. I am now saving up to get a qualified surgeon to correct this. Do. Not. Use. This. Surgeon. read more

Dr Levine did an awesome job on our mom Tracy! Mom said Dr Levine is not just a Doctor he is a "Magician"! Everyone who has seen my mamma has said she looks great..and mom is telling everyone about Dr Levine and his Awesome staff. The staff are very much talked about by my mother as well as she has NEVER felt the compassion, professionalism, love and caring from ANY other professional service from him and his staff. Mom said the nurse Crystal and Staff Michelina are AWESOME ..and for momma to say they are an asset to Dr Levine ..that is "The Truth"!! Thank you Dr Levine for making momma happy!! read more

The front-desk personnel are great - friendly and efficient. The nurses, MAs, and PAs are terrific, very caring. Also, the waiting room is quite comfortable, with a welcoming atmosphere. The facility is clean and private. Overall, the atmosphere is winning and inviting. read more

TLDR: Dr. Levine and his staff are amazing. His billing team are not. I wish I could give Dr. Levin and his incredible medical team five stars. They performed surgery on my wife and did an amazing job. The work looks incredible, their bedside manner was amazing, they checked in after, really listened, etc. etc. We have rarely had a better experience with a doctor. HOWEVER the billing team there is AT BEST incompetent and more realistically purposefully deceitful in their billing practice so I can't. In fact. I have to warn you here and everywhere else I can leave a review about what they did. So...here's the story. The day before my wife's operation I received a call from the billing department telling me that I owed 2000 dollars for the anesthesia for my wife's procedure. I was told in NO uncertain terms that this would be ALL we would owe. I asked and they confirmed for me multiple times on the phone. We paid. Two months later we received a bill for 3000 extra dollars. When I called and asked about it they told me that they had processed the bill wrong and would correct it. They then sent me a new bill for 300 something dollars which, when I went to go pay it, reflected the old balance. I called back AGAIN and this time they told me ACTUALLY I did have to pay that balance because my insurance had a deductible. I told them this is the definition of surprise billing, that I'd been told on the phone that I would ONLY owe the money for anesthesia. They told me, too bad so sad you have to pay it. Months later after consulting with a lawyer guess what? I DO in fact have to pay it because there is absolutely nothing illegal about lying to you about what you owe for a procedure. I was personally told by the NY state attorney general's office "its unfortunate but there's nothing we can do" Well I paid my bill and now I'm warning you that if your going to go here for surgery get everything in writing. Record every phone call. And dr. levine if you're reading this, fire your billing department. read more

Not worth the investment. Had a rhinoplasty last year and definitely not satisfied with the results. Dr Levine is nice but the results just weren't good or what I expected. Don't trust the 3D renders. You can feel in the dark at multiple steps of the process not knowing what to expect. Can't wait to get a revision rhinoplasty elsewhere next year. Office team is not organized at all. Office space is nice. read more

I found this doctor through my insurance company under Mt. Sinai hospital. Dr. Elie Levine is listed as in network. First off, he makes you pay a facility fee even though you have insurance. But still tries to bill the insurance Co. for a facility fee. He's in network, but his facility is not! He billed my surgery under another joint practice owned with his wife, Jodi Levine, who is out of network. Which I did not know. My insurance company said I am receiving a bill because he filed the insurance claim listing his wife as an out of network surgeon and/or assistant surgeon, which is not true. According to my insurance, they paid out the bill but because she's listed on claim as out of network it shows a balance which they emphatically stated I wouldnt have to pay were not Jodi being on the claim. NEVER have I met this person. Ever! She did not assist in this surgery at all. To my understanding, she is a dermatologist. My insurance called the billing dept. with me on a conference call, and they AGREED that the wrong account was billed for the surgery! They advised me to call back and speak to Bassey, and she will cancel the bill. She never returns my calls. They are still sending me a bill! What's worse, this doctor left a 3-inch visable scar adjacent to the surgery site, which I am going to have to correct with another doctor. This practice is uscrupulous, unethical, incompotent, and conducts fradulent business practices. Please do not choose this doctor! read more

I have to say, we where pretty skeptical walking into the office for the consultation but after spending some time and speaking with the doctors and staff we felt amazingly comfortable. The office is immaculately clean and all the staff where so professional. This doctor is far from greedy and gives you his utmost honest opinion. Highly recommend! read more

It is time to speak up. After 6 years of looking in the mirror with horrific scars, a botched job and $23,000 down the drain I must break my silence about Dr. Levine. Don't let his manipulative bedside manner trick you, you will spend $$$$ and be more disappointed. I've had 3 scar revision surgeries and still have Keloid scars on my arms and breasts. People stare at me on a regular basis when my arms are lifted and ask in disgust "OH MY! WHAT HAPPENED?" I wish I listened to my parents and peers and gotten the law involved but the sad truth is the doctor has his ass covered in every which way possible. Make sure you thoroughly read his paper work.. a sick, and sad situation. Don't let this be you. read more

Dr. Elie Levine has a genuine passion for what he does. Right from the start, he was very personable, professional and knowledgeable from my first consultation through every follow up appointment and surgeries since (three in total), he made me feel welcomed, valued and respected as an individual. Dr. Levine spent time explaining in detail each procedure I was interested in, while also providing guidance and his expert opinion about my body and the potential for realistic improvements. Pair all this with his exceptional skill and artistry, Dr. Levine gave me results that I never dreamed were possible. For more years than I care to remember, I felt unattractive and had no self-esteem as a result of the way that I looked. Thanks to Dr. Levine, I have a self confidence that I have not had in years. The cosmetic work I had done did as much for my 'inner-self' as it did for my body, and I consider that to be priceless. The physical results are exceptional. What makes the experience at Plastic Surgery & Dermatology unique does not just rest with Dr. Elie Levine but extends through his entire office team that are always pleasant, accommodating and supportive; Special mentions extended to...Fiorhina, Shay, Kim, Shira and Maria who are the epitome of service excellence. They make me feel like family J If you are looking for a professional first-class experience, Dr. Elie Levine at Plastic Surgery & Dermatology is it. Dr. Levine, thank you for changing my life. Best, M read more

I wanted this to be a 5star experience, unfortunately it was awful. I researched the office, mainly Jody Levine, but when I called to make the appointment, they told me that Dr. Elie Levine was the doctor to perform what I was looking for. After the consultation, I agreed to have filler for under eye hollowing. The price was $985 I didn't hesitate because he assured me that that's all I would need and showed me a picture of what I should expect to look like afterwards, etc. He seemed confident and knowledgeable. 3 days after the injection, I went in because of major bruising, which he also said wouldn't happen, but, whatever, it happens. I went BACK 10 days later, still bruised and no difference in my under eye hollows. I expressed my concern, and that I wasn't happy with the results. He proceeds to try and figure it out and when he looked at the before and after, he seemed surprised and so did his nurse because it looked WORSE. I saw her looking at him, like "it's not good" but he proceeds by stating that maybe another type of filler would work better- I'm like "why didn't you figure this out the FIRST time" He offered me nothing, except to think about another filler and told me that "some patients don't anticipate another expense......". No, I didn't "anticipate another expense" because YOU and you're supposed expertise, reassured me otherwise!!!! I'm going to call my credit card to see if I have any recourse. It's been 23 days and NO DIFFERENCE!!! Avoid going here, he honestly has no real expertise, it seems like he winged it. Office is nice, staff is understanding, but, unfortunately, he's an overpriced, seemingly inexperienced injection specialist with HORRIBLE RESULTS. Now I have to wait 6 months to visit ANOTHER doctor for the right filler. So disappointed. read more

I was so impressed on how the whole staff treats every patient. My mother had her liposuction over a year and a half ago. She said it was the best thing she did! I was a bit skeptic because it was my first time doing this procedure. But, Dr. Elie showed me how much they care. I am so happy about my lipo that I received. Dr. Elie Levine is truly Amazing! read more

I just joined Yelp to post a different review and thought about the best money I have spent in my 7 years in New York City. I was referred to Dr. Levine by a friend who said that he was a "conservative" plastic surgeon. I think we're all scared of not looking naturally fresh. Dr. Levine understood my desire for a surgical jawline tightening and removal from fat underneath my eyes (the little fat made me look tired / baggy). Two things: The results were everything I hoped for and still FOUR years later I am incredibly pleased and seeing long term results and perfectly taut jawline (I have a great jawline but skin was getting lax....now it continues to be a best feature). Everything he told me to expect about the procedures and recovery turned out to be correct and the outcome was as he said. Dr. Levine does not "sell" you, he educates you while speaking to you as an equal. That's the second thing....he "talks" shop with you about everything currently being discovered about old and new products and procedures. I love to be informed. Any future surgeries (although I don't need any now or near term) I will go to him. He provides quality care and follow-up. A great example of a GOOD type of ego. read more

Dr. Levine has magical hands! He is absolutely amazing at what he does. After over a year of searching for a plastic surgeon for my mommy makeover I almost shelved the idea since the 5-6 top-rated surgeons that I met with from NYC to Beverly HIlls said they could not give me the results that I desired. They all suggested that I would have to live with a tummy tuck scar from hip to hip on my 125 lbs frame. The excess skin that I had from pregnancy was a lot but I knew that it did not warrant a hip to hip scar. Dr. Levne agreed. I year and a half after my tummy tuck and breast augmentation I am the delight of my husband. After 10+ years together and 2 kids, he cannot keep his hands off me. Not only is my TT scar minimal but it is soooo low! I can wear "Brazillian" bottomed bikinis (albeit strategically)! My breasts are beautiful and natural looking. They are soft and I even get complements from women on how lovely they are. Everyone thinks I was born with them! He is skilled and in tune with patients needs. I'm currently in my early 30s but see myself going to him as I age gracefully and with a little help from his gifted hands! read more

Manhattan has more plastic surgeons than it has subway stops, bank branches, or Starbucks locations. With so many surgeons to choose from, how do you decide which doctor is best for you? No doubt you want a surgeon who will listen to your concerns, who will work with you until you are satisfied, who is more concerned with your happiness than he is with his bottom line, and who will schedule follow up visits until you are thrilled with the results. In Manhattan, where time is money, how can you find a doctor who consistently puts his patients' well being above his own? Enter Dr. Elie Levine of Plastic Surgery and Dermatology of NYC. If you are smart and schedule an appointment with him you might be lulled into thinking that anyone so self-effacing and gracious couldn't possibly be a ninja in the operating room, but you would be wrong. Dr. Levine combines the cordial manner of a country doctor with the fierce intelligence and experience of a top notch surgeon. He is consistently voted by his peers as being one of the "Best Plastic Surgeons in New York" (and New York doctors are not known for being shy when it comes to withholding their opinion about members of their profession whom they believe aren't up to grade). He has the advantage of many years of experience as a traditional "cut and stitch" plastic surgeon as well as an extensive array of in-office lasers. He will chose whichever method he believes will provide the best result, even if that method requires more effort on his part and costs the patient less. Let me repeat that: he will choose a method of healing that makes him work harder and costs the patient less if he thinks that method will provide a better result. In my case I went to him for terrible acne scars that had plagued me my entire adult life. No matter how many doctors I had consulted or which methods were tried, each doctor made the problem progressively worse instead of better. Dr. Levine recommended a procedure that is extremely labor intensive for the surgeon but which was covered by my insurance plan, so it cost me nothing. When my insurance expired he continued to perform the procedure once a month, every month until I was satisfied. Do you know of any other surgeon in New York City who would do such a thing? Although his efforts had produced improvements far beyond what any other doctor had been able to accomplish, I asked him if there was anything else that could be done about my remaining scars. He recommended a mini face lift to separate the layers of my skin (which finally eliminated the deepest of the scars) as well as a brow lift to improve the symmetrical appearance of my eyes. He is kind, meticulous, diligent, super-skilled, caring (just ask him about his kids), funny, a virtuoso with a scalpel, a maestro with a laser, and the best damn plastic surgeon in New York. If you seek someone who will join forces with you to help bring you the best result possible, you should seriously consider visiting Dr. Elie Levine of Plastic Surgery and Dermatology of NYC. read more
