In her Physician Profile Dr. Levenson states:

The name of my new practice is Blue Ridge Digestive Health, and that is what I emphasize. First and foremost, I strive to provide an integrated approach to the overall gastrointestinal health of my patients. At the same time, I provide those in need with the most up-to-date, evidence-based treatment for specific GI diseases.

I enjoy, in every sense of the word, a close relationship with my patients. I work hard to ensure that they have a clear
understanding of every aspect of their care. And I have always prided myself on providing consistent and thorough
follow-up.

I am married to John Patterson, a long-time Washington, DC-based broadcast journalist. We both dearly love the
performing and fine arts, good food, good friends and travel.

We are thrilled to be relocating from D.C. to Morganton, where rush hour traffic is five cars at the light, where people
say hi and thank you and actually wave, and where you can see Table Rock Mountain from South Sterling Street.
