PATIENT REVIEWS

This dental office came highly recommended by my coworkers! As an individual who has always been fearful of dentists, I could not have asked for a better recommendation then Dr. Nick Levi. He is very thorough and explained the procedural techniques that he would be using for my dental work. Him and his staff calmed me through my dental appointment and procedure as they meticulously worked to resolve my dental issues. This office also comes with a delightfully experienced staff who are always willing to go the extra steps to fulfill the needs of their patents! I have finally found my safe, friendly, professional dental office! I recommend Dr. Levi and his wonderful staff to any one who is looking for excellent service in the city!!!

Dr. Levi is the best! He was super detailed with my treatment plan and answered all of my questions. He has the best equipment in his office… I have never thought that i could have a crown done in one office visit, but he proved me wrong. In addition, his dental assistant is very pleasant and made me feel extremely comfortable. I would definitely recommend him to anyone that is looking for honest and efficient dentist!

I was referred to Dr. Levi by a friend. I’ve had a couple of visits to his office and next time I need to see a dentist, I am definitely going back there again. Dr. Levi is very knowledgeable and explains everything in great detail. He is very gentle and always made sure I was comfortable. Everyone from his staff is very pleasant. Nice office, convenient location and great service. Going to the dentist doesn’t have to be a bad experience after all.

I’m really excited that I’ve finally found my dental office! I really hate going to the dentist (due to horrible experience in the past = less dental visits = horrible teeth ). Dr Nick Levi and his staff has given me hope that visiting the dentist doesn’t have to be a nightmare! Dr Levi was really gentle and very thorough! I was afraid he was going to give me a long lecture for neglecting my teeth, but he didn’t at all! Huge score for me!! His assistants were also really nice and helpful. They helped me understand my crappy insurance and helped me with flex spending benefits. My first visit went pretty smooth. Dr Levi took a lot of pictures of my teeth and explained everything that was going on in my mouth. I also love that I didn’t feel pressured. He explained my options and it was up to me to decide which route to take. I needed a lot of work and I had to replace some old metal fillings. I was pretty happy they were able to take care of it on the same day and I didn’t have to wear a temporary crown (I remember how inconvenient it was to come back 2-3 weeks for a permanent crown) I even watched my crown milled by a really cool 3d machine. Dr Levi’s office was pretty high tech and had all the cool gadgets, I don’t really know that I’ll need it all, but I guess you need to have the best tech if you’re the best dentist in San Francisco. Thank you Dr Levi and staff for making my comeback to the dental office a pleasant one and for my new pretty teeth!

Dr Nick Levi is a great dentist. I’ve been going here for years, since he was at Embarcadero 2, and have recommended many people to him. Now my Mum and Dad even go to him. Your first experience will likely include him drawing tooth diagrams for you. He’s generally quiet but has a nice demeanor and is very respectful and sincere. Now to the part that is unique. His office is full of the latest technology. You’ll watch movies while he works on your teeth. He takes instant x-rays of your mouth and that’s just the start. He even sends text messages and email about your appointments if you so wish. Whatever you’re looking for, Nick is at the forefront of dentistry and will take good care of you.

Ok so I’m not very good at posting reviews but I think this office totally deserves some credit! I was having an emergency and a friend referred me to Dr. Levi and I’m so glad I went! I received the best service from him and his staff! Dr. Levi is very thorough!! He is definitely a talker, so if you didn’t know anything about your mouth, you will by the end of your appointment. His office is pretty high techy too. They have a machine that makes your crown right in front of you so that’s pretty awesome. Screens and gadgets every where & massage chairs??!! Yeah crazy, but I guess it’s suppose to help calm some nerves before getting in the real chair? I don’t know .. but it worked for me! As for the rest of the staff, they are really nice and great. They went over my finances and gave me several options to pay. Unfortunately for me, I’ve had enough dental work done to know enough what my insurance covers and don’t cover. I didn’t see his fees being higher than what I’ve paid in the past, but that’s probably because he’s in network with my plan??? The best part about my experience with Dr. Levi and his staff is the fact they went out of their way to make sure I was ok even after my appointment. I received a couple follow up calls to make sure I was recovering ok and that speaks volume about an office that puts their patients first! Bottom line, I’m really happy I found Dr. Levi & his great team!

Amazing experience. Dr. Nick and his staff are very professional and made my smile perfect for my wedding on very short notice. Highly recommended if you want to be taken care of and smile on your way out. They really care about their clients explaining what is needed upfront and they put time in to make sure you are happy with end results. Personally I don’t like to go to see a dentist but it was nice to have painless experience in great professional settings.

I am currently finishing up with Dr. Levi for Invisalign.  I spent a lot of time researching the best dentists for Invisalign and chose Dr. Levi because he was recommended by another top cosmetic dentist.  I thought I was a perfectionist about my smile but Dr. Levi is more of a perfectionist than I am!  Dr. Levi even modified my braces two separate times (for free) because he wanted my smile to be absolutely perfect.  Dr. Levi has gone above and beyond during our visits to ensure that my smile exceeds all my expectations. I’m so glad I went with the recommendation and saw Dr. Levi.  If you are looking to obtain an amazing result with Invisalign, then I can’t recommend Dr. Levi highly enough.

Very good and personable dentist. He is thorough, his office staff is very friendly. Office is clean and attractive and welcoming . Dr. Levi is very easy to talk to and is collaborative with me in my dental needs. I would recommend him to any of my friends and family who is looking for a new dentist. I appreciate the way Dr. LEVI goes through the terain of  the dental situation and provides options. He seems very fair and honest. Dr. LEVI offers a friendly disposition. I am glad I discovered his practice and looking forward to going to him for many years in the future.

I came into his office last Thursday feeling absolutely miserable because of my tooth. Having previously had horrible dentist experiences I wasn’t expecting much for an emergency visit right before the holiday weekend. To my surprise Dr Levi and his staff went far beyond my expectation! His staff is very attentive (I believe her name was Tanya) and Dr Levi was very patience, explaining everything on my x-ray and waiting while I ran several times to the bathroom to hurl. Needless to say I was a hot mess but his staff took great care of me. Most of all the follow up care and concern was amazing and I will definitely be back! Thanks guys!

Dr Levi is hands down the best dentist I’ve ever had. I trust him with my dental health without question. He’s clearly loves what he does and is really competent dentist who always up on current advances in his field. He is also very personable and takes his time to explain any procedures needed clearly so you can make an informed choice. I went to him years ago after getting bad root canal from somewhere else and was looking for a competent biological dentist to put in a bridge. I also wanted my amalgam fillings removed and this is definitely something you want done by someone who knows what they are doing which Dr Levi does. I love the dental hygienist here also and the front desk staff are terrific. I wouldn’t go anywhere else, highly recommend this practice.

Wow! I went to Dr. Levi today as I had chipped two of my front teeth in an accident. His (very nice and professional) staff were able to fit me in on a day’s notice. His office is amazing, with the latest technology. He made me feel very comfortable and not afraid at all. Love the idea of watching a movie while he performs the procedure! He worked on me for 40 minutes and the results are awesome. I found a new dentist!!!.

Dr Levi and his staff are amazing. The equipment they use is the most innovative yet proven technology, assuring your comfort and great results. I had 2 crowns done – each in a single 1 hr visit. All I can say this is AMAZING! I even watched a movie while I was having the work done, painless and worry free. All my life I have had negative experiences with dentists – ranging from pain to trying to sell me on stuff i do not want or need. Dr Levi will give you all possible options to make your smile perfect and let you know which are crucial to your health and which will be a cosmetic bonus. 10 months ago I started straightening my teeth using Invisalign. I am so happy with the results and am almost finished with this process – my teeth look perfect already! I get compliments from people all the time 🙂 Nick Levi is a dentist that is passionate about his profession and cares about his patients. He and his staff go to seminars and trainings to assure they are in the know when it comes to latest practices, technologies or methods. Everyone there is really friendly and helpful! I recommend Dr Levi to all my friends!

Dr. Levi is my favorite dentist.  Okay that’s a lil weird to be reviewing your dentist, but he is by far the best one I’ve ever had.  He has all the newest and coolest gadgets.  He did my crown and he talked me through every step and even showed me the machine that was shaping the porcelain piece that was going into my mouth.  So instead of sending a mold out to the lab and waiting a week, he gets the job done in 2 hours. He takes pictures of my teeth and blows them up really big on the monitor to show me where I need to pay more attention to cleaning.  The man knows teeth and knows what and how to make them aesthetically pretty. The best thing about the place is that he is all about service.  There is pelligrino in the waiting area, memory foam dental chairs, dvds while you have work done.  It definitely takes the edge off of getting dental work done.

I was shocked to see the negative reviews here. I have been going to Nick Levi for 10+ years and he is fantastic. (And I know, because my first dentist in the city was terrible – always surprising me with work and fees I did not even know was going to happen!) Dr. Levi always takes the time to explain your options and puts you in control of your decisions. Sometimes he suggests work that is not urgent, but he’ll also explain the pros and cons of taking action, is clear about what is known and not known, etc. Once I make a decision, he is completely supportive. He also spends the time to talk to you about important things that are within your control from a preventative standpoint – like brushing and flossing tools/ techniques. Dr. Levi also provides tremendous customer service. His office is very high tech, his staff is incredibly friendly, I get text and email reminders of my appointments, and the one time I had a concern about the cost of something, he personally called me to discuss the issue and my options. I recommend him to everyone.

Dr. Levi is absolutely amazing! I’ve had the best experience and can hands down recommend him and his stellar team. I am always treated respectfully and all steps and procedures are clearly explained to me and time was taken to ensure I can ask all my questions. I used to always dread going to the dentist because I felt like I would always feel some pain/discomfort during any sort of procedure but Dr. Levi is so skilled that I literally for the first time was completely pain free and actually ENJOYED my visit — and that was during a root canal! Honestly, look no further, Dr. Levi is a master in his craft, professional and really personable!

Nick has been my dentist since before he opened California Center of Aesthetic Medicine and he is still as enthusiastic about a great looking healthy smile as he was years ago. He is very passionate about his work and is always on the cutting edge of technology and medical breakthroughs. He is generous with his time and explains the different options for a particular procedure, making sure the patient is well informed before making a choice. He is genuinely concerned about the patient’s comfort throughout his visit and is a firm believer in painless dentistry. In all my visits through the years i have not experienced any real discomfort while under his care and my teeth have never looked better. I am eternally grateful for my pearly whites! Their practice just recently expanded to include additional beautifying medical procedures way beyond the scope of any spa. Just like the dental wing, this new expansion is also equipped with the latest in laser technology, making it a convenient one stop rejuvenation center. I have recommended Nick to all my friends and will recommend him to anyone who wants nothing but the best for their dental health.

I went to Dr.Levi for second opinion and I was blown away by his knowledge and the way he took his time to explain everything to me and helped me understand my problem and make the right decision. Very caring and professional staff ! Very impressive and highly recommend Dr. Levi if you are in search of a dentist who really cares.

By far,  one of the best dentists in the bay area. He is highly recommended and you will not leave his office disappointed. His office is so beautiful and easy to find and the staff so personable and friendly. Dr. Levi was genuine and it showed that he truly cared about getting me the right smile. He takes great pride and passion in his craft and he is very charming and friendly. It is refreshing to see passionate people who truly care about their patients. Makes dentristry an art form!

Have gone to Dr. Levi for the past few years and have absolutely loved my experience there. From the massage chairs while I wait to the videos I get to watch while my teeth are being cleaned – it’s been a great handful of visits! I also had whitening trays made and purchased the whitening paste, which has also worked really well. That said, I do see that others have had issues with their billing. Luckily, my dental insurance has always covered my cleanings, so I haven’t had any issues there. Assuming you never have a billing dispute, I can’t recommend Dr. Levi enough!

Dr. Levi treated me in the early 2000’s. Recently, I broke a tooth (bit something hard). Now I live overseas (9,000 miles from SF). I visited my new, US-trained dentist here and he looked at my teeth. Then he called in his staff. “Look at this,” he said, “this is beautiful work.” The doctor kept going, poking around in my mouth. “Look how that was built”….”look how nice that curve there is.” This was unexpected, and rather amusing. Most of all, it made thankful for Dr. Levi, some 20 years later.

After having the worst dental experience of my life,, one of my friends pointed me to Dr. Levy. The second I called Dr. Levi to see if he could help me out, he immediately fit me in. Now, I came in with 4 “temp” teeth at which where completely awful! Dr. Levy was very careful and made sure he wasn’t giving me idea but rather helping me to decide what I really wanted. With leaving me to decide what I wanted to do with 4 new teeth, he quickly replaced my awful 4 temp teeth that were pushing 4 weeks old because the last dentist couldn’t figure it out! After meeting with Dr. Levy and him not pushing me into anything, he and I were able to come up with a game plan which of course was time lined due to wedding season and the fact that I was moving shortly. The first set of teeth that came in were and ARE perfect!!! Dr Levy hit a complete home run first try! Comparatively to the “other” dentist that didn’t get it right 4 times!!!! After all this, I have to say, the price was dead on. Not mentioning all the teeth whiting he GAVE me, to make sure I was ready for the commitment. He was and is fantastic! I will recommend him and his staff to everyone! in fact i already have! I dont want to leave out his staff. They are extremely professional and make the entire experience comfortable the whole time. Book your appointment now!!.

Best dentist, and office, ever. I was recommended to Nick Levi by a friend, who raves about him and the office, and I have had nothing but great experiences. I’ve had a lot of work done, all needed, over the last few years: 1 root canal, 3 crowns, mouth guard. The root canal crown is problematic, it keeps falling out, which is more due to my mouth and tooth grinding, than to do with the quality of the work. Dr. Levey replaced the peg on the root canal twice (my mouth dissolved/ broke them, something the manufacturer hadn’t ever seen!) cheerfully, at no cost and immediately. He’s worked diligently to avoid my having to get an implant for that tooth, which my mouth and my wallet appreciate a lot. The office is immaculately clean, and I’ve never had to wait more than 10 minutes for anything. I went in yesterday for a cleaning/yearly check-up, etc and took my mouth guard in for a steam clean. I forgot it there. I live and work in the East Bay now, so it’s a long haul to get there for me. The office is mailing it back to me.  How nice is that? I might also mention that they wanted me to get x-rays when I went in at the end of last year. I told them I wanted to wait until my 2014 insurance kicked in, as I’d had x-rays for the root canal and thought I was out of benefits. They checked with my insurance on the spot, and I was out of benefits, and I got no pressure to do the x-ray that day. Like anything else in the health care field, you have to be aware of what your benefits are and be a bit proactive in order to save yourself money.

I have always had a fear of the dentist. Based on recommendation, I went to Dr. Levi’s office. What a great dentist – he explained everything so thoroughly to me, made me comfortable, and after a view visits made me get over my fears altogether. The office manager was so kind and professional and made the process a breeze. Also, patients are offered  massage chairs while they wait for their appointments. Spa treatment!

Wow.  I normally hate the dentist.  It is an unpleasant, time consuming affair.  But my recent visit to Dr Levi for an exam and cleaning restored my faith. His consultation was so thorough, for the first time in my life I have an idea of what is going on in my mouth – what has been repaired in the past, what needs work now and what might need attention in the future and the exact nature of each. In addition, the cleaning was very gentle. Highly recommend!.

Dr Levi has been my dentist for about 7 years now and the service has always been amazing! The office staff is very professional and friendly and   have always been very helpful in accommodating last minute appointments. Appointments begin timely with usually little to no wait time. Dr Levi is very friendly and easy to talk to. He is very knowledgeable and always takes time to explain in detail what needs to be done and the treatment options. He is also very thoughtful and checks up on you constantly to make sure you are comfortable and pain free at all times throughout the procedure. The office is clean, comfortable and technically advanced. I recommended Dr Levi to a couple of friends, and they have nothing but good things to say about their experience. I highly recommend Dr Levi!

My dad is a dentist and it’s taken me quite some time to find another dentist who takes a similar approach: conservative (doesn’t try to drill and fill at every opportunity), evidence-driven (treatments and equipment that work, not just what is popular at any given time), and just a good guy. Have been going to Dr. Levi for about 2 years now and no cavities or anything else needed other than cleaning and flouride.

Dr. Levi is hands down the best! He is very involved with every patient. In addition to having the coolest new technology, he is also the only dentist I’ve had who does his patients cleanings. It’s always a lot of fun to learn about the history of dentistry and the stories of his kitesurfing adventures while getting my dental work done. For the first time in my life, I’m fully confident I’m working with the best dentist around.

I’m probably paying way too much for my dentist, but you get what you pay for, and this guy is fabulous! I have never seen a dentist that is so enthused about teeth, and this place has the most ridiculous technology. He will take individual pictures of your teeth, blow them up on the computer, and then discuss them with you tooth by tooth. It’s outrageous, but very informative. He spends so much time with you and never makes you feel rushed (I often have to leave while he is still talking), which is hard to find these days when doctors overbook and cram as many patients in as possible. I would recommend this guy to anyone. He is good at what he does, and honest. He won’t sell you on something you don’t need just to make a buck, because he doesn’t want to deal with any unhappy patients. Plus, the staff is adorable and very eager to please. The hygenist is as much of a maniac as he is, which is what you want from someone who is cleaning your teeth. I had really white teeth to begin with, and when I left, I was blinding people with my pearly whites!.

I received the best care you could imagine from both Drs. Levi (husband and wife).  I recently experienced an unusual dental “crisis” with sensitive teeth from a whitening agent – so sensitive it was worse than having my wisdom teeth out.  I called Dr. Levi’s office and they scheduled me on last minute notice because of my pain.  The service I received was both extremely personal and extremely professional. After my procedure, and probably somewhat due to the experience I described to my dentists, I received two follow-up calls to confirm my pain had subsided and that I was recovering properly. I am usually very happy with service I receive, but these guys went out of their way to make sure everything was alright.  I received Five-Star Service and give them my highest recommendation.

Came in yesterday for a teeth whitening cause I had an event for work last night. The whole staff was very nice and welcoming and very professional. Not only were they quick but I am very impressed with how white they were able to make them. I’ve never had a dentist able to make them as white as they are right now. They told me step by step what they were going to do next and got in done in record time. I highly recommend coming here if you want a very friendly staff that knows what their doing and will make your teeth paper white.

Until meeting Dr. Nick Levi, I’d never known a dentist to be as caring and genuinely interested in the comfort and well-being of their patients. Dr. Levi’s comprehensive knowledge of all aspects of modern dentistry coupled with his superb bedside manner allowed for a very productive visit and an overall pleasurable experience- neither of which I’d EVER experienced at a dentist’s office. There is something very special and quite unique about Dr. Levi. He takes the time to explain everything to you until he is convinced that you are fully informed and also in a comfortable space about the work that needs to get done. He is a true gem, and I’m so very grateful to have met him.

Hands down the best dentist I have ever had.  The staff is very professional, timely, knowledgeable, nice and courteous.  With every visit I feel the hygienist and the Dr. have a genuine concern for the health of my teeth and aren’t concerned about making more money. The cost for all procedures are communicated upfront and on occasion have had a slight variance due to insurance coverage but very reasonable and expected.  The cost are also a little higher but you are getting very high quality service and it’s very seldom that my insurance doesn’t cover most of the cost.  I never feel like I am sitting through a sales pitch at this office and always feel good after every visit.  I have been to a number of dentists throughout my lifetime and I highly recommend this Dentist and office.

Just had two crowns done by Dr Nick, and they are superb! Had similar work before, with golden crown from a different dentist, and only now i realize how much better is to use the latest tools and materials.  Dr Nick scanned the teeth before and after cleaning/removing old fillings, and the perfect match crowns were generated by the computer.  Then I watched as the 3d milling machine made the crowns in minutes.  No more waiting for the imprints to be sent to a lab (potentially in China), and then crowns sent back!  All the work was done promptly, and no issues came up after.  I was impressed with his patience in  making sure the area was properly numbed before working on it (had some nerve damage there from a car crash). The crowns look amazing!  The only trouble is – now I will have to replace all my ugly metal fillings, because Dr Nick’s crowns make them look so much worse.

.

If anyone is more qualified to critique a dentist it would be me: 3 fillings, 2 root canals, Invisalign and crown work. The office was well run and always on time.  Making an appointment was a breeze.  I usually have trouble tolerating x-rays, but the digital ones were smaller than the usual films, and they offered me a numbing rinse to use before they started.  After a careful review of x-rays with Dr. Levi (he took the time to show me all my past dental work, and how it was holding up etc.), he did a very gentle cleaning, being careful to make sure I was comfortable.  Also since each chair has its own video glasses, I was able to watch my favorite movie when the work was done. He also took photos inside my mouth to show me any potential problems etc. i didn’t even notice i was in dentist cabinet. Dr. Levi also seems to keep up on the latest things that are going on in the dental field.  Years ago (when Invisalign was just becoming a new trend) I went to see Dr. Levi and he had told me about the invisalign.  I decided to do Invisalign, and to this day, I still have people who haven’t seen me for some time complimenting my teeth (truly happy with my smile).  It was one of the best decisions that I have ever made and I am so glad that he introduced me to it. Overall an amazing experience every time I visit the dental office!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you are looking for a friendly, professional, gentle and honest dentist, you could not find a better one than Dr. Levi
