Jonathan Levin, MD, is that rare physician you’ve been seeking: a unique combination of sound and experienced medical judgment, medical knowledge, technical expertise, empathy, compassion, patience, friendliness, and personal warmth. He will personally make sure you have the perfect patient experience at his practice, L.A. Pain and Performance Medical Group.
He is a patient-focused physician specializing in interventional and chronic pain medicine and sexual wellness and enhancement at L.A. Pain and Performance Medical Group Los Angeles. Dr. Levin has successfully treated many thousands of patients over the past 15 years and offers the latest and best treatments in pain medicine and sexual wellness. Another rarity: Dr. Levin takes the time to explain your test or MRI results and offer treatment options. He never dictates his recommendations to you as a “take-it-or-leave-it” or “my way or the highway” type of lecture. Open and frequent communication with his patients is highly valued and practiced by Dr. Levin.
Dr. Levin’s philosophy in pain management and sexual wellness is simple; less is more. Often physicians offer patients only the most expensive treatments, in order to maximize the physician’s own income, thereby subjecting their trusting patients to unnecessary, painful, and often risky tests and treatments for the sake of money. Dr. Levin will always treat you based on his best medical judgment and in your best interest.
Huge numbers of people suffering from back pain, sciatica, or neck pain are scared into having spine surgery, when they hear, “You’ll be paralyzed if you don’t have spine surgery!” 30% of spine surgeries result in worse chronic pain than before the surgery. Why is this? You guessed it: MONEY. Spine surgery reimbursements to the surgeon and hospital or surgery center are extremely lucrative. Dr. Levin will do his utmost to help you avoid spine surgery.
