My doctor is Dr. Tracey L. Levens at San Joaquin Family Medicine.  She is very special for numerous reasons.

To name a few:  She is friendly, conscientious, very knowledgeable, kind, patient, concerned, honest, well organized, does not keep patients waiting.  Her schedules are designed to give  proper time with each patient.  She gives her patients as much time as needed.  She answers  all questions in an understanding manner.

Dr. Levens makes me feel very comfortable and painless.  She goes out of the way to meet my needs.  I have no problems in visiting Dr. Levens and her staff when I have a medical problems because I know she will  help me. 

She is not only interested in  my physical  needs, she also shows interest in my  spiritual and emotional needs.

Dr. Leavens and her staff are wonderful.

I'm glad you have such confidence in Dr. Levens. Unfortunately, my experience with her was not quite as positive. For months my voice had been getting quite hoarse and when I went to her about this she told me I had "allergies." I was not comfortable with this diagnosis and asked her several times to refer me to an ear, nose and throat specialist. I finally had to go to her office and demand a referral, which I eventually received. I was referred to Dr. Rose Rabinov, who immediately, upon examination, told me that I had a growth on one of my vocal cords and that it needed to come off right away. Dr. Rabinov took wonderful care of me and the growth thankfully turned out to be benign. I often wonder what might have happened if I had not insisted on the referral to Dr. Rabinov and if the "allergy" had not been benign....
