We’re glad you dropped by!

Dr. David Levy is a neurovascular surgeon who specializes in the treatment of aneurysms and other blood vessel diseases of the brain and spine–and praying with patients. He attended Emory Medical School in Atlanta, Georgia and obtained his Neurosurgical Training at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, Arizona, and did a Fellowship in Endovascular Neurosurgery at the University of Vienna, Austria which allows him to repair brain aneurysms by entering the femoral artery without opening up the skull.  His high-risk specialty includes emergency procedures to remove blood clots in the brains of stroke victims.

Dr. Levy is a consultant for several companies making more effective devices for the treatment of stroke. He has published scientific articles in neurosurgical literature and in 2011 wrote the book Gray Matter, detailing the dramatic intersection of medicine and faith as he has practiced praying with patients. The transforming stories in the book show how prayer changed his approach to patient care.

An engaging and accomplished speaker, Dr. Levy has been a recipient of the People’s Choice Award in 2010, voted America’s Top Surgeon in 2010 and 2011, and Best Doctor Award yearly since 2007. His pastime includes physical fitness as well as caring for the poor and less fortunate. Dr. Levy has been practicing neurosurgery in San Diego, California since 1997. Since he began praying with patients, he has seen remarkable results. This site is an extension of the story of Dr. Levy’s practice of praying with patients and experiencing the intersection of medicine and faith.
