Virtual MMJ Card Certification Event

Dr. Gary Levin has been actively practicing general ophthalmology in Chester County since 1977. Following medical school and residency training at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, in 1978 he became one of the youngest eye surgeons ever certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology. He and his wife, Susan, began a solo practice which has grown into a highly regarded regional multi-doctor and multispecialty eye care center located in Thorndale, PA. Dr. Levin is also one of the founding partners in Vision One in Exton, which is a state of the art, free-standing ambulatory laser, and eye surgery center. Dr. Levin was one of the first approved medical marijuana physicians in the PA program, and has been certifying patients for medical marijuana in PA since 2017.

Dr. Folgueras’s father inspired her to pursue a career in healthcare. Growing up, she witnessed his dedication and hard work as an orthopedic surgeon. Dr. Folgueras in a board-certified anesthesiologist and has been practicing for 25 years. Eight years ago, Dr. Folgueras participated in medical acupuncture training, and 2 years ago, she started her medical marijuana education, so she can offer her patients something more! Her medical marijuana practice has developed into a passion. Her practice is unique in that she is a traveling physician. Prior to the pandemic and the Department of Health’s exception to allow telemedicine for medical marijuana certifications, her practice consisted of caring for patients marginalized by the process. Her small practice includes patients who are home bound, those devoid of technology, recent parolees, veterans, and patients on disability. She has a small network of caseworkers and PCP’s who refer patients to her, because they see value in a provider who is easily accessible and communicative. She has always been a firm believer in the adage, “Actions speak louder than words.” How she cares for her patients in and out of the operating room speaks for itself! Hearing that a patient referred a friend or family member to her, because of the excellent care she offers, is what makes her job worthwhile!
