Dr. Elizabeth Edlavitch Levin is dedicated to providing the most comprehensive, evidence-based model of care. She recognizes the privilege it is to be a hematologist and a medical oncologist. With this honor, it is important to emphasize the practice of honesty and the understanding of one's own complex disease. She enjoys seeing patients of all ages but identifies herself as a geriatric oncologist. She devotes her time to improve care delivery and outcomes for older adults with cancer. She does this by continuing to stay active in the geriatric Twin Cities community and participating regularly in the international organization, the Cancer and Aging Research Group. This interest comes along a focus on breast and prostate cancer, lymphoma and disorders of the bone marrow.

My approach is based upon a philosophy I learned from a mentor during my Public Health training. He said if I listened to patients long enough, they would tell me exactly what the issue was. I respect the patient's perspective and focus on joint decision-making regarding treatment choices. I believe in taking time to educate patients and their families about possible causes of their illness and work to encourage habits and lifestyle changes that prevent worsening of an illness. There are many factors that affect health outcomes, so I work closely with other specialties to address issues beyond my scope as a cardiologist to ensure that patients have all the support they need. I always want patients to leave satisfied that their questions and concerns have been addressed.
