Hi Yelpers! I have been going to Dr Levine for a couple few years now and was referred by another dentist so never read the reviews here on yelp and I have to say im really surprised at some of them. I guess you just cant please some people know mater what. Dr Lavine and his entire staff have been the absolute best. I have never had a problem with any work done and have actually found to be very relaxed in the chair having work done unlike many places I have been. Dr Lavine is the best! Daniel England read more

Excellent experience all around! Scott is an absolute pro and his whole team always to a great job making me feel comfortable getting the job done. I found them a few years ago via Yelp, FYI read more

Dr. Levine is an excellent dentist! His office and staff also top notch. Highly recommended! read more

I've been with Dr. Levine's practice for over 20 years. It's a well run office with appointment reminders, up front estimation of costs and a very kind staff. I highly recommend Dr. Levine. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Levine's for over 15 years, and I couldn't be happier with the care I've received. He is gentle, kind, and always takes the time to make sure I feel comfortable during every visit. The quality of his work has always been excellent, and I've consistently left feeling confident about my dental health. I truly appreciate the professionalism and warmth he and his team provide, and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great dentist. read more

Dr. Levine's practice is exceptional throughout the staff. I would highly recommend Dr. Scott Levine's dental practice for exceptional dental care. read more

Consistently great medical service that enables me to maintain my teeth health (which had been highly challenging during my childhood). Plus Dr Levine is incredibly careful and patient - everything just feels right after his work. read more

Great staff, great dentist. Glad I found him. Can recommend him 100%. Quality of care truly!

This place is a Monument to Incompetence. Over the weekend, I cracked a tooth that this idiot (Dr. Levine) worked on less than a year ago. I set up an "emergency appointment" and they called me (how miraculous!) to say that because I'd missed three appointments in the last year, I was no longer a regular patient. For the record, my work involves a lot of last-minute travel, and I always called to reschedule, and offered to pay a cancellation fee. (One time I had COVID, which I don't think your average hygienist deserves to pick up from random patients, but that's just me.) I've been in for SEVERAL cleanings since then, and no mention was ever made of canceled appts. Meanwhile, my wife went in to this moron after experiencing ZERO dental pain in her whole life, and because of the "work" Dr. Levine did, she is now looking for another dentist to solve the problems he created. Avoid this place like the plague. read more

Wonderful staff and Dr Levine is a meticulous dentist. I am so glad I started coming to Dr Levine many years ago.

I've been with Dr. Levine for many years. I always get excellent care there. I would highly recommend them. Everyone is very professional and helpful from top to bottom. read more

I am quite pleased with this office. I trust the dentist, the hygienist, and the staff is competent, pleasant, and responsive. Even the office itself is comfortable and calm. And they have full coverage with Delta Dental, which many dentists don't. The location on Solano is very convenient, with no parking issues. It has been a consistently positive experience. read more

Scott and his staff are extremely professional. My only regret is that he's out of network for me. But I trust him and his staff and am happy to pay more out of pocket to get the right treatment for my choppers read more

I recently changed dentists since I no longer work or live in SF, and I chose Dr. Levine due to location (proximity to home) and great reviews. I started seeing Dr. Levine during the pandemic, so I'm only familiar with their pandemic practices and protocols (as opposed to what it's like under "normal" circumstances). My initial appointment was probably one of the most thorough appointments I've ever had - not just the obligatory x-rays that are required periodically but his team spent a lot of time cleaning my teeth and checking my gums. I really appreciate the very thorough gum checks, and the hygienist spent a lot of time talking through different options to ratchet up my dental care (hydrogen peroxide and water mix for my Waterpik?). I recently noticed an issue on my gum and when I called the office, they were able to get me in for an appointment the next day. Super responsive and easy to get an emergency appointment. read more

After living abroad for a decade, I decided a general dental exam was in order. My medical plan did not provide a dental care panel. I liked what I read on Yelp and made a appointment for x-rays etc. I'm glad I did. Dr. Levine provided me a plan of cleaning, repairing, and generally getting my teeth 100% healthy again. I am sure he probably cost a little bit more than others but I don't regret going with him. In fact, midway through, my medical plan did offer a panel of insurance dentists. I checked a few profiles but decided to stick with Dr.Levine. He is very sensitive, a great communicator, and has good hands. He's worked on fixing 2 crack teeth and 2 crowns. Literally, he's never bumped into any part of my mouth in spite of the hours spent nor has any movement ever felt like a prick. That's not due to local anesthesia either because his assistants, although all quite able, are occasionally a bit more clumsy and have pinched my gums here & there. I was also pleasantly surprised that he personally called me the evening after my first crown to see if I were having any problems. I guess sometimes crowns loosen or fall off. I had no problems. You won't go wrong with Dr. Levine. Oh parking is pretty easy, too. read more

I have memories of dentists over the years whom I have encountered; and over time and the pain I remember seems to grow like the proverbial fish in the story of catching a whopper fish. In other words what pain I remember is considerable vs what likely happened. That has kept me outta the dental chair for a while. That and shopping for a competent dentist after moving back to the bay whose practice wasn't full, they weren't about to retire, or too damn far away. So armed with a personal reference we started coming here. Yikes is it gonna hurt? Well I'm happy to report no not really. As a matter of fact, it's "almost"exciting to visit because I fell like I'm gonna get pampered and coddled like the big baby I am. Sho nuff from the front desk to everyone on staff in back and Dr. Levine himself, I feel like royalty... special... the only person the expansive staff is there to support. I say almost cause let's face it... I'd be lying if I said I enjoy going to the dentist! But when getting there, walking in and coming out is as uneventful as getting a haircut that's saying something! I even had a last minute work conflict with my latest appointment and they were so accommodating. Darn it! I want to try to invent a reason to stay far far away... but I got nada. So the moral of the story: since most of you Yelpers use yelp and your pie hole to describe delectable and amazing foodie experiences all over the globe and certainly in the Bay Area , do yourself a favor, and pamper your pie hole on the regular with dental checkups and annual visits. And if you do have to have some work done on your grill, you can't do much better than Dr. Levine and crew to keep you chomping happily for years and years to come! read more

I recently moved to this area, and decided to try Dr. Levine's practice after several recommendations from new friends. His associates and dental hygienists are very thorough and friendly. My husband and I are a little older, so our dental issues can be a bit complicated. I find Dr. Levine to be competent, compassionate, and caring. As an RN, so I am very clear about medical professionalism and really appreciate quality care coupled with humanism. Laurel K. read more

Dr. Levine was my dentist for over 10 years. He's the best! The only reason he's not my current dentist is that I moved away from Berkeley. Just one example of how stellar he is: I had an old veneer from when I knocked my front tooth out years ago. As you've probably already guessed, I knocked it out. I was so worried about how the replacement would look because my teeth have slight shadows and white spots, and... because my front teeth are huge. I mean, horse teeth huge. Not to mention that as my front tooth, I need it to do some serious work biting into deli sandwiches on hard sourdough rolls, apples, etc... Dr. Levine gave me a new front tooth (a crown) that looks just like my real tooth. No one can tell it's a fake. Seriously. When I tell people it's fake they take another look at my mouth and then ask which tooth it is. And it's been 5+ years. *I'm only remembering to leave a review now because I had to look up their contact info to call and ask a question about my past dental work. Dr. Levine took the time to pull up my old x-rays to answer the question right then and there. A+, Dr. Levine! read more

I came here to get an exam, cleaning, fillings, and a crown. Dr. Levine and his staff are all so helpful and friendly. He gave me honest recommendations and explained the treatment plan to me so well. He is gentle during treatment and explains everything as he is working. His office is beautiful and exceptionally clean. All COVID-19 precautions are adhered to. I cannot wait to come back. The rest of my family will be visiting soon. If you need a great dentist in the East Bay, come visit Dr Levine. read more

Dr. Levine has been my dentist for about 4 years now. From routine visits to veneers and other cosmetic work, he has done a phenomenal job at improving my oral health. I feel so much more confident about my smile! Dr. Levine has a special eye for detail and is very thorough and respectful. I know that I can rely on him for high-quality, stress-free dental care. His wife Vineeta, who helped design the beautiful office, and the rest of the staff are equally amazing. Every experience at the office has been great and I would not hesitate to recommend it to a friend. read more

Dr. Levine goes above and beyond to ensure that his patients are well cared for. I've been seeing Dr. Levine for a decade, and even after moving, I continue to drive one hour to see him for my dental needs. He's an expert at what he does, and extremely caring. His staff is exceptional at helping everyone feel comfortable. read more

About a year ago, Dr. Levine took over the practice of my long time dentist, Dr. Wolf, in Berkeley. Dr. Wolf was an excellent dentist. Too bad he retired. Dr. Levine is very nice. I'd buy him a drink. However, I don't think I'd ever pay him money to work on my teeth again. The fillings he gave me just over a year ago have all started to fall out, one by one. I've never had any fillings before the ones he gave me last summer, but I don't think that's normal. I thought fillings lasted between ten years and a lifetime, depending on how you take care of them. I went back to Dr. Levine this week to let him know two of the fillings had come out. I kind of thought he'd agree that there must have been something wrong with the original fillings for them to fall out so soon, and that he'd redo them for free. Naive me. He said I must grind my teeth, which doesn't really make sense because the fillings are in the sides of the teeth. So now I'm $400 lighter. Let's see how long these fillings last. Well, stuff happens, but I really feel kind of ripped off. What makes it really a drag is that his office staff were just so horrible and snotty to me when I suggested that there might have been something wrong with the original fillings, and that I wanted to talk with Dr. Levine about doing the work over gratis. I mean really awful.(And yes, I know I should have just walked away, but I'm sitting there with these gigantic holes in my teeth where the fillings are missing, and it kind of hurts, ya know?) Just so you don't think I'm snarky with this review, I make my living as a self-employed person. I depend on my reputation and word of mouth. If a client is not happy with what I do for them, I want to do what is necessary to make them happy, including a little work for free, where it is warranted. In this case, I don't think it was even about the money. He just didn't want to admit there was anything wrong with the fillings he gave me. I think there clearly was. read more

Dr. Levine was my dentist since he took over from Dr. Wolf (who was amazing). So it's been a few years and I had several things fixed and have a full range of experience. Dr. Levine told me once that "there should not be a reason why his dentistry shouldn't be the best dental experience". However I am no longer a customer, because I don't think it's the absolute best for my teeth. The good: Dr. Levine is a nice guy. Over time, he has upgraded his offices with new equipment and upgraded the interior design. There was a lot of turnover in the early days, but he seems to have found a good staff that is always friendly and on top of things. I will miss Kate and the rest. I actually think Dr. Levine is interested in improving things. The less then good: Someone said here on Yelp that Dr. Levine is fast, as is if this was a good attribute. And it's true, he works fast. But over time I have learned that his workmanship is not always consistently the very best. He is fast, but he rushes. And then you have to go back to adjust the bite and sometimes it just never comes out right. Or the measurement for a crown that sits in my mouth is slightly to big. Last year there was one particular incident where he tried to fix three fillings at once. I trusted him, but in retrospect, it was not a good idea. Without going into details, things didn't come out right. In fairness he did try to fix it, but's never going to be as good as it should have been. And now I am stuck with mediocre workmanship. It was bad. And at some point I will get the whole thing redone. And so I have decided without a doubt or regrets to go somewhere else. My teeth deserve only the very best treatment. To Dr. Levine: don't rush, it's not about speed, it's about quality workmanship. Be the best experience you told me about . read more

I went to this dentist for a few years until he stated he wanted to fill in 2 teeth he said were chipped. I went and got a second opinion consult from another dentist who said he saw no areas that needed to be filled. I'm now with another dentist who also said the same thing. read more

Dr. Levine saved my 106 weeks of wearing braces at a teen! I was having a hyper sensitivity to cold in one of my back molars. A friend of mine looked at it and saw there was a crack in the tooth. She phone Dr. Levine's office, she's a life-long patient of the practice, and was able to get me into a meeting two days later. When I showed up and they looked at the tooth, it turned out there was a fracture in the silver amalgam from 20 years ago. When Dr. Levine started poking around, the tooth literally exploded! I caught a piece in the air. (The story turns out well, so keep reading) Dr. Levine put a temporary crown on the tooth and set me up with a specialist to have my "crown lengthened". He special ordered a porcelain crown (I have exceptionally white teeth and he wanted to make sure the crown would match the rest of my teeth!). The new crown was fitted and is now not noticeable. He immediately became the second dentist I've ever had. Finding a dentist is so hard, that when you find one who has excellent staff, great billing, and decent hours, it truly is a find. Dr. Levine opens his shop at 7 am, so getting stuff done before work is a snap. The hygienists are very good, easy to talk with and always remember stuff about you...how can they do that every six months?!? I lived in ColoRADo for a year and a half, but now that I am back in the Bay, I'm excited to be able to go back to Dr. Levine. read more

Dr. Levine was recommended by my boyfriend who had nothing but positive things to say about him and his staff. Now I see why. They are very attentive, from the front desk to the hygienist. I love it when an office will call you the day before to remind you, and I love it when they listen to you. I hadn't been to a dentist in a year and a half, due to being uninsured. I was feeling nervous about the appointment because I had been experiencing sensitive gums and was quite worried. Usually I look forward to getting my teeth cleaned because I've been lucky in never really having any problems except the few cavities as a child. I went in for routine x-rays, checkup and cleaning. Thankfully walked away with no bad news and the hygienist was very gentle about my sensitive areas. A Big thank you to all the staff! read more

Though I've only been to the offices for cleanings and to replace some ancient fillings, I've been extremely pleased in all respects. The staff are always courteous and efficient. The hygienist is very pleasant and has just the right touch - effective at cleaning, but not harsh or painful. Dr. Levine himself is knowledgeable, patient, informative, and supportive. For the work he's done, he seems quite confident and at ease in what he's doing. He notes things to keep an eye on, using pictures and xrays to explain his thinking, and does not suggest any frivolous procedures. The offices and equipment seem up to date and modern compared with others I've visited. Digital technology for records, pictures, and explanatory videos are a great thing in a dentists office. When I relocated to the area a few years ago, I was bummed out to be leaving my dentist of many years. Dr. Levine and his staff are every bit as good. Highly recommended. read more

I've visited many dentist... Dr. Levine and his crew are as good as they come, they did a great job repairing my front tooth that I cracked in half when I hit myself in the face with a big wrench ( it slipped off a big nut I was tightening - ow) Also the hygienist does a great job cleaning... each time I go my teeth and gums improve. Easy 5 stars read more

I had a fantastic experience at Dr. Levine's office. The office is beautiful, quiet and inviting, Dr. Levine's wife was at the front desk and was incredibly welcoming and Dr. Levine and his technician were kind, delicate, and work quickly. I typically have anxiety at the dentist, but this was one of the most pleasant dental experiences I've had! I highly recommend this office! read more

I've gone to Dr. Levine for the last 5 years. With a one year hiatus when I to the South Bay and boy am I glad I am back with Dr. Levine now that I am back in the area. Like many of the other reviewers have stated, Dr. Levine is a nice guy and I find that he has a very calming mannerism. I recently had to have a crown put on for a cracked tooth (damn corn nuts!) which ultimately needed to get a root canal because I didn't address it earlier (when I was in the South Bay). Dr. Levine referred me to a Endodontist, who was also really good. But what I found interesting, was how complementary of the prep work Dr. Levine did for the crown....which the Endodontist described as being "textbook...couldn't make it any better"....which left me feeling good. The office staff is also great. Kate at the front desk is always on top of things and I never have to worry about my insurance. Everyone else, Sam the dental assistant and all the hygenist have been excellent. Plus they have parking in the back...what else could you ask for? I looked at some of the other reviews and my experience seems to differ from some of those that rated Dr. Levine low. I think going to the dentist is like doing preventative maintenance on your car...everyone has a bit of a different opinion based on their level of risk tolerance. You can get a regular oil change or go for synthetic. You can get new tires when you are down to 3/32 inch of tread or wait until you have the wear bar indicators showing. I think Dr. Levine is generally a more conservative guy and wants to make sure you keep your teeth as long as you can. I've learned my lesson with that cracked tooth, if I would have addressed it earlier, maybe I wouldn't have needed the root canal. read more

Dr. Levine has been our dentist for about 7 years and will continue to be our dentist as long as we stay in the Bay Area. Dr. Levine, Kate the office manager, all the dental hygienist are all very knowledgeable, approachable, and super friendly. I love how I always get a reminder call before every visit. The office is very relaxing and welcoming. There is always relaxing music playing at all times. I just love the atmosphere. If you don't have a dentist or are unhappy with your current one, I highly recommend making an appointment with Dr. Levine! read more

The people here are very pleasant and seem competent, but . . . When I came in, I wasn't in any pain. I had decided to get x-rays and an exam because it seems like a good idea to get your teeth checked occasionally. So I was surprised and unhappy when Dr. Levine said I needed work that would come to $3000 dollars and maybe a mouthguard as well since I apparently grind my teeth. At first, I accepted that my usually healthy teeth had taken a turn for the worse. But then I decided to get a second opinion. The second dentist (very experienced and well recommended) didn't think I needed any work at all and didn't think I ground my teeth either. read more

My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Levine's for 15+ years and I cannot say enough about him and his staff. Our son has been seeing him for the last 5 yrs. The office has a relaxed atmosphere; he and his hygienist( I see Jana) are very thorough and gentle in doing dental work; and he provides great follow up and referrals when needed. His new office is beautiful and parking is easy! read more

My entire family, children + in-laws have been going to Dr. Levine's office for the past 10+yrs. I have only great things to say about his staff, including front desk, assistants and Dr. Levine himself. Scheduled visits or on the fly emergency visits have always been filled with warmth and supreme dental care. Excellent professionalism and on point conversations about anything: my cleaning, my bridge, my implants, etc....I have done lot's of preventive work in the past 10 yrs and don't feel I have the European teeth anymore! I feel taken care off and I smile more now-gives me confidence in my daily life knowing my past experience growing up scared of a dentist, holding my mom's hand among concrete walls listening to the "music of pain" by the drilled patient inside......those bad memories from Yugoslavia/Macedonia are gone! I highly recommend Dr. Levine's office and his staff; even though the past 2 yrs we moved up the Mountains/Lake Tahoe-he is still our primary dentist and I wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

The office and rooms are very modern and clean. The staff are friendly, attentive, and incredibly thorough. That goes for Dr. Levine as well. I look forward to many years with Dr. Levine. read more

I've been going to Dr. Levine for many years and I have very high confidence in him and his team. I would easily recommend him to others for their dental needs. read more

Dr Levine and his assistants are excellent- thorough, friendly, fast... what else do you really need from a dentist? Too bad my new insurance doesnt cover him. read more

Dr. Levine is very talented and prudent. Does not engage in anything frivolous or unnecessary as one other review had implied. They are very professional and try hard to make scheduling work for their clients. read more

Dr. Levine and his staff are wonderful. I always have a pleasant experience there, which is a lot to say since I always need work done. I would recommend Dr. Levine and his office to anyone and have several times. Also, if you get there early, or want something to do after a cleaning, you can walk down Solano Ave. and look at the shops. read more

I had a sports accident when I was a kid and chipped half my front tooth. I then got a bonding which lasted for 20 years. But it fell off last weekend and it looked sooo horrible. So I called Dr. Levine, got an appointment the same day and he would directly 'repair' my tooth! It looks really great, you can't even tell that there is some replacement and now I can smile again :) Great dentist and very friendly staff!! read more
