out of Read Reviews for Dr. Joseph S. Levy
I went to Dr. Levy once -- I waited 45 minutes to see him despite having an appointment. When I got in, he was friendly and comforting, he gave me samples of toothpaste and then examined my teeth. His equipment is older and he uses old school xrays (no digital cameras), but that's ok. He told me that I had several cavities that needed to be fixed. A couple weeks later, I received a whopping bill -- my insurance had only covered a minimal portion. And to my surprise, he even charged me for the sample of toothpaste. He is a nice dentist, but I wouldn't go back because of the cost.

I have been using Dr. Joseph S. Levy for approximately 10 years. He is a good general dentist- cavities, crowns, maintenance of healthy gums. What I especially like and respect about Dr. Levy is that unlike many other practicioners, he does not perform procedures that should be deferred to the dental specialists. For example, he does not perform root canal or place porcelan laminate veneers. He takes the time and effort to administer adequate anesthtics to avoid denal pain. His costs although not cheap are competitive and reasonable taking into account his office lacation in NYC. He to my knowledge does not participate in insurance plans although it is possible he may participate in a few that I am not aware of. Front office is always helpful and considerate. They will assist in insurance form submission. Concerning his chair side manner, it is excellent- a real pleasant professional. Hygenists are in my opinion competent.

Dr. Levy is a friendly and satisfactory non-specialist dentist who gives good care overall. I left his care when I needed some specialist procedures that he did not do. I liked him but I felt that he wanted me to have cleanings unneccessarily frequently, leading to increased cost.
