PATIENT REVIEWS

I haven’t been to the dentist in a long time and one of my crowns broke off. I had to go and get it fixed. Dr. Mina Levi used a new technique for making the crown – a 3D scanner which sends a video of my tooth directly to the dental lab. Very quick and easy, no need to wait two weeks for the new crown. It was worth it spending the money and the time in the dental office of Dr. Mina.

Dr. Levi is very professional and caring for her patients. I went to her place when my dentist was on vacation, and she identified all the problems with my teeth and referred me immediately to Endodontist Dr. De Leon for my most urgent issues. Because of my tight budget, I always have concerns over the out-of-pocket payments and I am pretty reluctant to do all the recommended treatments when the cost is over the limit of my dental plan. Nevertheless, Dr. Levi appreciates my concerns very well and she recommends the most necessary and urgent treatment first. And she does the treatment very well. Because of that I decided to stay with Dr. Levi for my future dental needs. If you are looking for a dentist with great techniques and caring heart for patients, Dr. Levi is definitely one.

With a “rock star” bio like that of Mina Levi, DDS, I half expected someone aloof, perhaps too busy and definitely out of my price range.  Instead, she was friendly, attentive, communicative, and easy to work with.  It’s great to find a dentist who is professional, capable, caring and reassuring – everything you could hope for, AND – both she and the staff at Jackson Square Dentistry are pleasant and upbeat.  Even the office has an inviting personality, with interesting original artwork on the walls – not ho-hum photos of grinning models with depressingly perfect teeth.

If you want a skilled, caring dentist with a professional, friendly and efficient staff, go no further! I have never felt so taken care of by any dentist before Dr. Levi. And the office on Jackson Square is worthy of its address: modern architecture and equipment, gorgeous design, lovely art and high ceilings. There’s also street parking in the surrounding neighborhood from Washington/Sansome corner through Pacific/Montgomery Streets. Dr. Levi is one-of-a-kind. This is my first and only Yelp review, but I would be remiss not to let the world know about her.

Dr. Levi has officially become part of our family! She takes care of the whole family and our friends. We are greatly pleased with the gentle and highly professional care she offers. She has a great follow up routine and always makes sure that she can be reached after the treatment. Thank you for providing the whole family (even our toddler) with a wonderful experience and fantastic care!

I first went to see Dr. Mina Levi for an emergency in the fall of 2010. My first impression was that she is very friendly and makes you at ease. She took care of  the emergency very well. She was very professional and paid attention to every detail. She explains the procedures performed and the treatment plan, and doesn’t keep you in the dark. Since then I have seen Dr. Levi for more dental treatment. I would recommend her to anyone.

I was walked through the high-tech sign in process on the ipad with the receptionist. Great! So cool they are up to date with technology. The office staff was friendly and knowledgable. I met with both Dr.Katz and Dr.Levi. I was so pleased with the manner my recommended treatment was explained to me. My teeth felt super clean, and I look forward to my next appointment. If your looking for a great dental office…This is the place to go!!!

Dr. Mina Levi has been my dentist for about 7 years now. I’ve had multiple treatments done by her: several porcelain crowns, fillings, cleanings, in-office teeth whitening and Invisalign, among several other things. I’m very happy with her services and I consider her a very professional and ethical dentist. In my experience she has done an excellent job with all of my treatments, and I’m extremely happy with how much better my teeth look now. She is also very gentle, and I have to say, I’ve never felt much discomfort in spite of having had all these different treatments. I also think that she mostly cares about the health of your teeth above anything else, and gives you an honest professional opinion about what your treatments options are without putting any pressure on you to proceed one way or the other. I would definitely recommend her.

Dr Mina Levi is an awesome dentist. My first appointment was a little behind schedule but I certainly appreciate a doctor who will take their time for the upmost consideration of her patient rather than wam bam thank you mam next. Dr. Levi never pressured me into any up-sells although was very informative on what my options were to achieve optimal care for my teeth. The new office on 586 Washington is very modern and clean with an established feel to it just across the street from the Transamerica Pyramid. The staff were super friendly and the office had all the mod-cons throughout. Jane at the front desk was especially friendly and full of smiles. It was a great feeling to be surrounded by people who at least appear to be enjoying what they do and treat patient care so seriously. I recommend Dr. Levi for anyone who wants professional work with the latest techniques and consideration for patient comfort. Dr Levi also explains what she is doing at all times which definitely put my mind at ease during the exam and cleaning.

Mina Levi is the greatest dentist that I’ve ever met!!! She did one contact restoration in my back tooth very professional, so when I eat, the food never stuck between the filling and another tooth!!! And when I’m flossing there I feel that adjustment between tooth and filling is so smooth!!! It’s look like I have a new tooth without any fillings in it. When I had the same restoration from my old dentist, the food stuck there each time after meal!!! Before procedure receptionist showed me a form where I saw what procedure Dr. Mina will be doing, and also price for it. Receptionist also explained me the price that my insurance covered and also the price that I had to pay from my pocked. After I signed up that form Dr. Mina did me a fillings! So, I knew the price before I did a fillings. If you want a hollywood smile you should definitely go to the Dr. Mina Levi!!! By the way, her office is full with the latest dental technology in the world!!!

Dr. Liza Luchovska is a really great dentist! I came to this office with really deep gum pockets that made eating and flossing extremely painful. Liza has fixed my teeth so that I’m no longer in pain! We made a plan together to keep my teeth and gums in lasting health.

Dr,Mina Levi Dental Clinic is the best in the city as per my experience. I had gone to couple of dental clinics when i started looking for a good place in beginning of 2013 and i was not happy with those places and had bad experience. After that through yelp i found Dr.Mina Levi and visited her clinic on sutter street,sf. She welcome me and took care of me on my first day in her clinic. She thoroughly checked my teeth and took x-trays started the treatments. First impression at her clinic it made me so happy that time beginning of 2013 and i told to myself i found the right place after all bad experience in other places… Dr.Levi is a pleasant and friendly lady, who takes care of you moment you enter her clinic(with a lovely smile). She has all the latest equipments and very very clean place….. I would recommend anyone to go to her clinic and start your first treatment, i will guarantee you will never leave her clinic for ever….. So, take my word and give a call and make an appointment…..

My family started seeing Dr. Levi this year and we could not be more happy with her and her amazing staff! Dr. Levi is very thorough,  listens to her patients and goes above and beyond to deliver great results to her patients. I am so thankful that we found Dr. Levi!

Seeing a dentist has always been a nerve-wrecking affair for me. However, Dr. Levi and her staff are friendly, courteous, and professional – you know you are in good hands and won’t be nervous under her care! A while back, I had accidentally chipped my 2nd molar and wisdom tooth and was in need of a dentist. Dr. Levi comes highly recommended by a colleague at work. She was able to quickly accommodate me for an emergency appointment, put me in contact with an oral surgeon (also in the same 450 Sutter building) to remove my wisdom teeth, and then put a crown over the chipped molar. All these were done in a timely manner and I was able to use my teeth properly again. Needless to say, I was very happy with the entire treatment. Because of her professionalism in handling that incident, I decided to have my Invisalign procedure done by her clinic. Invisalign can be a lengthy procedure so you definitely want to choose a dentist whom you are comfortable with. Dr. Levi and her staff were very thorough and patient in explaining all the questions I had regarding Invisalign. And, during each of my periodic visits, they have always been very professional throughout. In short, I’m very happy with Dr. Levi as my dentist and I highly recommend her.

Dr. Levi and her staff have restored my faith in the healthcare industry! They are so professional, efficient, and truly care about their patients. For example, we realized half way through my appointment that her office doesn’t accept my dental insurance. They still honored my rates and helped me find a dentist who DOES accept my insurance immediately and got me set up with my new dentist in five minutes. Dr. Levi walked me through everything she was doing and even when she realized I couldn’t be her patient, she went through her own network on the spot to help me find another reputable dentist. She is by far one of the best healthcare professionals I have ever met and made me feel like, for once, my doctor was on my side. She and her team are THE BEST. Hands down.

I had a white spot on my front tooth that I was always self-conscious about, and went to Mina Levi to see what could be done about it. She gave me three different options, and took the time to go through the treatment process, the cost and invasiveness for each, and what she recommended (etching with MI paste). The treatment itself required me to go to the office on a weekly basis for six weeks, and she and her staff were always friendly and accommodating. I’m very happy with my results and couldn’t recommend her more.

The staff should relay this message upon scheduling each appointment.

I was looking for a dentist who has a Masters of the Academy of General Dentistry (MAGD), and Dr. Levi is one of the few in the city. Dr. Levi and the staff at her office have been extremely attentive to any questions I’ve had, and have really made my visits quite pleasant. Plus, they have a great view of Coit Tower from the dentist chair, which is always nice!

I heard about Dr. Levi through my coworker Lisa who raved that she was the best dentist she’d ever had. I completely agree. I’ve had 6-7 dentists in my 29 years and Dr. Levi and her team are hands down the best I’ve come across. Their willingness to listen to concerns, professional expertise, and recommendations are all top notch. If you live or work in the city of San Francisco, and are looking for a new dentist look no further!

I went through Invisalign treatment and had Lumineers placed with Dr. Levi and her team over the past few years along with routine dental cleanings twice a year. I could not be happier with the service that I have received. Dr. Levi is a kind and incredibly talented cosmetic dentist, I am constantly getting complimented on how great my teeth look. Beth, the hygienist is very gentle and thorough and is also very funny and a great conversationalist. I would recommend Dr. Levi and her team to anyone looking for a great general or cosmetic dentist in the San Francisco area! Love them!

I came to Dr. Levi’s office for a basic exam and cleaning and was blown away at how friendly the entire office is. They treated me like a was a usual customer despite my being there for the first time. Dr. Levi did a fantastic job cleaning my teeth (doing the ultrasonic cleaning is a lot nicer than having someone scrape at your teeth for an hour) and was friendly and personable. She gave me some great advice for improving my oral care (and just smiled when I said I flossed sometime even though we both knew I hadn’t) which I will definitely follow up on. The rest of the office is friendly too! The receptionist Ali was very helpful in figuring out all of my information and I did not have to wait long while I was there. I even shared a laugh with the dental assistant Fariba who did a fantastic job finishing off the cleaning. I will definitely be coming back here to get all of my dental work done!

Dr. Levi was formerly a member of Jackson Square Dentistry where I met her when she cleaned and polished my teeth one time. At the time I was not her patient but rather Dr. Katz’s. She advised me that I should enhance my daily dental routine with the use of a different floss (woven) and dental picks. She gave me samples to try. i gave her resistance, to which she chose to gloss over. My beef was the tendency of some dental professionals to think a person has nothing better to do in life than preen and fiddle with their mouths all day. Nevertheless, since I had the samples, I thought I’d just give it a try. The picks are brutal to the gums when first used. But I did notice evidence that they were performing above and beyond what just flossing does, After a week or so, my healthier gums were no longer brutalized. So, I kept on with the process after buying more supplies. When I returned to Jackson Square Dentistry for my 6 month checkup, I found that Dr. Levi was no longer there. I was disappointed because I was intending to switch to her as my dentist. A couple of months later I found that Dr. Levi had opened her own office at 450 Sutter. I made an appointment with her in a heartbeat. Others here have praised her thoroughness, professionalism, friendliness, gentleness, personality and knowledge–all of which I can vouch for. Her office is small but fine (the references to a beautiful office like an art gallery refer to the Jackson Square Dentistry office). The staff is friendly and personable. The atmosphere is relaxed. And unlike an office that is like an art gallery, I get the impression that there is no push for unnecessary procedures to feed the upscale life style. Personally, I’d rather pay for necessary dental work and not think that I’m being upsold to finance wine and cheese tastings! You should seriously consider Dr. Levi as your dentist. You can not go wrong

I have been seeing Dr. Mina for a few years now and I have been continuously happy with her work. She is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain each treatment in detail. Most of all, she is very professional and she always treats me with great care and patience. Even if you a planning to schedule a simple cleaning ask for an appointment with Dr. Levi- the cleaning it is fast, complete and gentle.

Dr. Mina Levi is an absolutely amazing dentist! I too am a dentist and I am incredibly particular about who works on my teeth. I have always felt that if I could I would do the work myself…that is until I met Dr. Levi. I have now had several old fillings replaced and/or repaired by her and they are perfect! (Did I mention that I am very picky!) Not only does she have incredible clinical skills but she also is passionate about dentistry and because of her passion she is constantly learning about every advance in the field. If you are looking for a dentist who cares about what is in your best interest, who is gentle and has exceptional clinical skills then please go see Dr. Levi!

I usually go to my dentist in Germany once a year, but unfortunately he is in Holiday while i am in Germany this year. So i got a special deal for teeth cleaning and exam and was prepared, after reading some reviews on yelp about Mina Levi that she will try to get me some work done which is not needed. Wrong!!!! i was. I told her honestly my situation, that i don’t have an insurance and that i only want things done which are really necessary and not cosmetic and… she told me everything what could need some work, but is not really urgent and that there is some cavity which need to be done soon for $120 including anesthetic. I don’t think that is too much to ask for, specially after she has done a good cleaning, x-ray and consultation for more than an hour, even so i payed very little due to the special deal. On top she is very nice, checks in with me how am i doing during the treatment . I will definitely book another appointment with her to fix that one tooth. Thank you Mina Levi.

I have met Dr. Mina Levi in St.Maarten – Island in the Caribbean, where she was for an International dental New Technology conference and I happened to be there at the same time. I saw some of the brochures there and I was interested in the different procedures that were offered which i didn’t even know they extst. She was very knowledgeable and explained to me everything I had asked. When I got back to San Francisco I visited her office and I had noticed that this office is very well, high-tech equipped. In my first visit she spent time for x-rays, exam and detailed explanation of my current condition. That’s what I liked. In the past I had dentist who did all these for 40 min, telling me I didn’t have cavities and 2 months later I discovered I had 5 of them. The reason he was not able to discover them was that they were between the teeth and only a proper x-ray exam will discover them. All of this I have learned from Dr. Levi. I also did Invisalign treatment to straighten my teeth at the age of 32. The results are amazing. I wish I could post a picture here so you can see the difference. Dr. Levi did a great job in creating my treatment plan and taking care of me throughout the treatment. I am very happy with the results. Currently I have very healthy teeth thanks to Dr. Mina Levi, I followed all instructions she gave me and I go for my check up appointments on a regular bases. The office also have the CEREC computer, technology which allows you to get a new porcelain tooth in one visit. I have two of those. It is impressive the way those teeth were fixed – 3D graphics, computer control – of course you need experienced doctor to do this. Hollywood smile? I have one now and I am not embarrassed anymore.

I came to Dr Levi for Invisalign treatment and after my fIrst visit I decided to leave my previous dentist from the last decade and become a patient here This office is state of the art, warm, welcoming, clean and extremely high tech. My first impression during the Invisalign consult was no goopy putty dumped in my mouth, but instead they used a state of the art digital scanner. Everyone in this office from the front desk to the staff in the back are friendly and personable and I actually look forward to going to the dentist for the first time in my life. I’ll admit I was slightly hesitant to visit the dentist during COVID but after one visit I felt comfortable, seeing all the extra precaution they take to keep their patients safe. Highly recommended for anyone that wants a perfect smile with a friendly dentist + staff in a gorgeous, modern office! Thank you Dr Levi!

I can’t recommend Mina Levi enough. Levi, and the entire staff, are equal parts professional and personable. They are excellent at their craft, and have fun doing it. They are transparent in their care plans and always keep you informed about the cost, logistics, and outcomes of dental care. I’ve been going Levi’s for about 6 years and tell anyone / everyone I know to go there.

I have been going to Dr. Mina Levi for over three years and I am exceptionally pleased with her services. She always takes her time and explains in detail the ongoing issues that I am having and the best treatment plan option. She is very careful with her work and always checks whether I am in pain. I strongly recommend her services to everyone who needs more attention when it is time to make the trip to the dentist.

I have a beautiful smile. But this was not always the case. Few years ago I didn’t want to smile, then I met Dr. Levi she ensured me that if I start Invisalgn I will have a very good chance to get the smile I always wanted and she was right. I followed everything Dr. Levi told me and now I have the smile I always wanted. It’s pretty amazing! I am happy as I am no longer ashamed to start a conversation or just smile. I receive a lot of compliments almost every day and I feel really great. Dr. Levi is very professional, highly educated and always following everything new that is happening in the Dental world. I feel very fortunate to have such a great Dentist!

I have been going to Dr. Levi’s for my dental needs for several years, and have watched her office grow from a tiny 2 room suite.  She recently moved into a new space and it is beautiful and spacious.  I just had a cleaning. It was done gently and thoroughly and with the greatest care and consideration for my comfort. Also, her admin support are very skilled at submitting to insurance plans and can tell you exactly what is covered. I highly recommend Dr. Levi and her staff of technicians for all your dental needs.

I am glad that I chose dr Levi’s office. On our first meeting she was able to identify all of my teeth problem’s, come up with a couple of plans for treatment, provide me with an estimate and start working on the most pressing issue that I came for. I was relieved of my pain and knew when, what and how our next meeting is going to be. At the end of the day I personally received a call from dr Levi, she was kind enough to check whether my pain was gone and was ready to schedule a next day appointment if this was not so. This is what I call professionalism. Would definitely recommend. –Thank you dr. Levi

Moving out from Pennsylvania, my dentist suggested I look for someone who has the Masters of the Academy of General Dentistry (MAGD) certification, and Dr. Levi is one of the few in the city. Plus my insurance covered it so, it’s a match! Dr. Levi and the staff at her office have been extremely attentive to any questions I’ve had, and have really made my visits quite pleasant. The hygienists I’ve worked with have been very kind and I felt like I got a good cleaning. Plus, they have a great view of Coit Tower from the dentist chair, which is always nice! I’m very happy with my dentist.

I always have a wonderful experience at Dr. Levi’s downtown dental office. I just came in for my bi-annual cleaning and I got x-rays. Everything went smoothly, I laughed and joked with Dr. Levi and the hygienist, Beth. I felt like my cleaning and exam were very thorough, especially around my porcelain veneers (that Dr. Levi placed about 2 years ago). Even the other patients are friendly and I spoke with a couple for 15 minutes about the Invisalign treatment I finished and they were starting. I feel like the office is a small family and I always look forward to going in for my check up and cleanings. 🙂

With Dr. Levi you can trust that she won’t try to pay off her business loans at the expanse of your HEALTHY teeth. Here is my experience with Dr. Levi, judge for yourself: My child’s expansive dentist who does not take ANY insurances told me after a routine cleaning that my elementary school kid has a cavity. She showed it to me too. She recommended a filling for that tooth and sealants for the 4 molars. She told me to get it done as urgently as possible since the cavity will grow. I was disappointed, I didn’t want my child to go through the drilling procedure. My child was disappointed because she regularly flosses, brushes her teeth and doesn’t eat much candy. Then accidentally I read an article online about the new dental resin infiltration procedure used for small cavities. I research further, I find the list of providers who are trained to do this procedure in SF Bay Area. I find Dr. Levi. We come for an appointment. I get a bit frustrated with the wait in the front office. I’m ready to walk out of there. Then we finally see the doctor. She looks in my child’s mouth and says there’s no cavity. I get even more irritated because I feel the doctor is incompetent. I say to her that I saw the cavity with my own eyes. Then Dr. Levi takes some sharp dental instrument and scrapes the cavity out of the tooth! Turned out it was a berry seed stuck in my child’s tooth. OMG! The pediatric doctor who diagnosed the “cavity” has a famous practice in one of the very expansive counties of SF Bay Area. Kids love going there and parents pay hefty bills for their kids. And she mixed up a cavity with a seed!!! Really? The question comes to mind: could it be? Regardless, the review is about Dr. Levi. I was 100% sure it was a cavity. She could have scraped the seed out and put some resin material on top of the healthy tooth and I would have never suspected anything. Instead, she did no work, which means no money for her, and saved my child’s healthy tooth. From my experience and experiences of friends and family a lot of dentists and even medical doctors over-perform unnecessary procedures to cover their business expanses. I understand the stress of having to pay bills, but I still want an honest and competent doctor who I can fully trust for myself and my family. I recommend Dr. Levi because she is the doctor you can trust. Her credentials attest to her skills and competency.

A WORD FROM YOUR DOCTOR
