Stacie Levine, MD

Professor of Medicine Chief, Section of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine

My name is Dr. Stacie Levine. I'm a geriatrician and palliative medicine physician at University of Chicago, and I've been here for over 20 years. So I provide care management for adults who are over the age of 65. My foray into medicine actually started back when I was in high school, when I served as a dietary aide at a hospital.

And I really enjoyed meeting with patients in their hospital beds, really hearing their stories, listening to what they were going through with their medical illnesses, and it really compelled me to want to be a physician. University of Chicago Medicine is my first and only position I've had since I finished my training.

I really enjoy collaborating with all the subspecialists here. We work hand-in-hand to really identify the care needs of every single patient and to really identify what they need in order to improve their health and well-being. My philosophy of care is, really, to tailor the care plan to the individualized patient.

So for example, if somebody coming in, and they have a lot of medications on their medication list, I'm really going to seek and find out, do they really need all those medications? What's the safest way I can provide care to them? My training involves comprehensive care management with a very inclusive care team.

I work in my clinic with geriatric social workers, nurse practitioners. We have a pharmacist on site, a physical therapist. We have a memory disorders clinic. It's very comprehensive. And because we work in team-based care, we're able to really meet the needs of every single one of our patients.

About Our Star Ratings and Comments:

Randomly selected patients are sent patient satisfaction surveys after their visits. We get thousands of survey responses each year. The responses are used to improve patient experience and recognize staff members for the care they provide. Patient survey responses are also used to make star ratings for each provider.

For the star ratings and comments, all feedback on the provider web page is posted as it was given from patients. Comments that do not apply, risk patient privacy, or are not appropriate are not posted. Star ratings and comments come from a number of survey questions. A star rating is not given if a provider only has a small number of survey responses.
