Pediatric endo

Dr. Lynne Levitsky
Pediatric Endocrinology
Massachusetts General Hospital
Jackson 1021 Fruit St.
Boston, MA 02114
(617) 726-5790

Dr. Levitsky was excellent. My pediatrician in Binghamton had suggested Cushing's on my first visit, my local endo sent me to Dr. Levitsky, and within two months I was having surgery. Like I said, she's in pediatric endocrinology, but she really listens and asks pertinent questions. She's had lots of experience with Cushing's and knows how to treat it. She was great about keeping in touch with my local endo through letters about my visit and results, and she always sent a copy to my house. She's down-to-earth and makes it a priority to keep her patients informed about their own condition. (Very important! She's a wonderful doctor and a wonderful person.

Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism

Dr Evan Rosen, MD Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center
330 Brookline Ave, Boston, MA 02215
ph 617-667-2151
fax 617-667-2927
Specialty: Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism

Dr. Rosen is an exceptionally skilled and compassionate doctor. He recognized my symptoms as Cushing's when I had only been presenting them for six months. Even though my symptoms were so minor at that point, Dr. Rosen made sure that all appropriate tests were done; he is one of those few doctors that will not rule out the possibility of a disease simply because it is rare. He also pushed to have all the time-consuming tests done (including 24hr cortisol, dexamethasone suppression, petrosal sampling and MRI) within a two month period. Dr. Rosen was always willing to answer any of my questions no matter what the time of day, and he never once made me feel like I was pestering him.
