It's your one year anniversary, Doc, and I can't express how much I miss you and to all the thousands of people that loved you as well. You left a mark on all our hearts that that will not be forgotten.

My condolences to the family. He will surely be missed. I, too, am a former patient. I remember how he truly cared about his patients. Rest in peace Doctor Levin.

Haywood Pittman

March 13, 2011

My name is Haywood Pittman and I feel like I was one of docs favorite patients. He was certainly my favorite doc. You see, I wore braces for somewhere between seven (7) or eight (8) years. Dr. Levin thought it was because I was a pain in the butt and just wouldn't keep my appointments. The truth of the matter was that I loved talking and joking with him and the girls about everything from the Magic, the Bulldogs and my crazy boss and girlfriend. I also really liked wearing braces for some odd reason. Anyway my brother told me of Dr. Levin's passing and I am sad but only for moment because I know that he is in a better place. I moved to Tampa years ago but I will never forget the man who straighten my teeth and my friend. Rest in peace doc.

Your friend,
Haywood L. Pittman

I was a former patient of Dr. Levin. We moved to Lake City about 4 months ago and my new Ortho informed me of Dr. Levin's passing. He was an excellent doctor who truly cared for his patients, it breaks my heart to know that he is no longer with us. You will be truly missed Doc!

I am so sad to hear of Barry's passing. Both my daughter and I were patients and my family thought the world of him. He was always so pleasant and a joy to visit with. I always enjoyed hearing his stories of visiting major league baseball parks with his son and talking to him about college sports. We are so sorry for your loss. He was a great man.

Dr. Levin was wonderfully charismatic orthodontist as he treated both my sons. He was always kind and encouraging. He generously took time out of his busy schedule to allow my son to job-shadow him and discuss a future career as an orthodontist. I am so sorry for your loss. I can tell he really cared about his patients and his family.
