Senior Vice President–Wealth Management
Dr. Bob Levin began his Wall Street career in 2001 and has experience as a physician, pharmaceuticals analyst, and business owner. He directs a wealth management advisory team that specializes in working with physicians and their healthcare (HC) businesses. It bothers him that doctors are seeing more patients in less time for less money and more hassle. Bob believes that doctors devoted to their patients and families deserve to have a trusted financial expert team devoted to them. His clients are busy professionals who rely on his team to serve as their primary resource in the financial world. Bob takes pride in showing them a disciplined strategy to achieve their financial goals and conducting that process with professionalism and integrity.
Bob is from Detroit and founded a service company, paying for college with it. He received his B.S. in 1981 and M.D. in 1985 from the University of Michigan. He then completed a residency in pediatrics at Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles in 1988 and worked as a pediatrician until 2000.
But he missed the excitement of business. He attended Johns Hopkins Business School and from 2001-2002 he worked as a drug analyst at JPMorgan in New York City. In 2003 he joined the Global Private Client Group at Merrill Lynch in Beverly Hills and in 2006 he earned the Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) certification. At Merrill Bob began his advisory practice working with physicians.
In 2016 Bob’s team moved to UBS in Beverly Hills and in 2020 he obtained the Certified Exit Planning Advisor® (CEPA®) certification. In 2022 Bob formed Ascend Wealth Partners with Aric Zamel. Professionally Bob serves as a financial consultant to the physician membership of the Foundation of the American Academy of Ophthalmology at its annual meeting and has given estate planning seminars to other HC organizations.
Away from work Bob studies Talmudic law and likes sports, music, and travel. He especially enjoys any water–related destination with his family.
