An award-winning Manhattan urologist pleaded not guilty today to embarrassing charges that he’d taken “upskirt” videos of ten women using a hidden pen camera.

Dr. Adam Levinson — formerly of Mount Sinai Medical Center, but fired last year in the wake of the arrest — today also rejected a no-jail, probation deal offered by prosecutors.

The rejected deal would have required Levinson plead guilty to just one of the ten counts of felony unlawful surveillance against him — a charge designed for filming under clothing and carrying a maximum of a year in prison.

He’d have stayed out of jail, but been required to register as a sex offender.

Levinson, who taught robotic surgery at the hospital, and his lawyer, Raymond Castello, declined to speak to reporters as they left a brief hearing in Manhattan Supreme Court.

He’d been busted in August after a commuter spotted him allegedly using his pen camera — hidden in a rolled up newspaper — to film up a woman’s skirt in Union Square subway station.

The seized pen camera contained compromising images of at least ten women, authorities said.

He returns to court June 26.
