Vader!

I initially went to Xiao dental because she offered an emotional support dog and if I had to go to the dentist, I may as well get to play with a dog. Happy to report, Vader is super cute, snuggly, and actually makes me look forward to going. More importantly this practice is extremely well run. Their Covid protocols are top notch. They have thought through everything from pens, air filtration, to no crowds in the waiting rooms. I felt extremely safe during all my treatments. They are also super timely, which I REALLY appreciate. Erin is so helpful with scheduling and making sure I get in when i need to. Someone's working on my mouth within 5 minutes of arrival. There is no waiting around... they get you in and out quickly! Erin is also very helpful with clearing things with insurance and going through copays prior to. It makes things much simpler and clear cut. As everyone's noted, all of the staff is so friendly. They make it such a pleasant experience. They remember details and get to know you. I left my previous dentist because she was insensitive to my pain. Samir and the rest of the team are so gentle and make everything as comfortable as possible. Never received better care in my life. They are so sensitive and make sure you feel no discomfort. It's painless. Dr Xiao is great. She walks me through everything and answers all of my questions. I appreciated after my root canals, she called me the next day to see how I felt. Even if I'm there for a follow up, she will still come in and walk through any dental concerns I may have. I was very pleased with the work that she has done and had a great experience overall.

The dental hygienists there are fine but the insurance and billing is not. First of all, you're charged a mandatory $31 cancer screening fee (regardless of whether you consent or not). That's fine. Second, unlike most dentists I've been to where cleanings are 100% covered, I find myself paying $46 for 2d photo images of my teeth when I go for cleaning. I don't get asked if I'd like this or not. I'm simply given the bill at the end. At other dentists, this is usually offered at no charge. Third, and what motivated me to write this post is, despite confirming my insurance with the office staff I was still slapped with $120 fee. Apparently my usage has been met even though I was told everything was fine. Bill date was 1/18, due date was 2/20 but according to the postmark they only bothered to mail this out on 2/13. I had even gone in for another cleaning since and they never bothered to talk to me about it in person. They even told me one of my insurance covers 2 cleanings and the other covers 3 so I'm all set for another appointment in 4 months (which I have canceled). It is hard to trust a dental practice that slaps you with fees you weren't told about and tells you that things are covered only to come back and tell you they are not. I initially overlooked other negative reviews about billing but I realize that was a mistake on my part.

Watching netflix!
Shawna W.

My daughter has several cavitiesNetflix! Though she always did great with our family dentist, she got very anxious & scared when it came time to do her fillings. I asked friends for referrals for a dentist that could help her. A friend recommended this office & I'm SO thankful! Samir was PHENOMENAL. Eased my daughter's fears, brought the puppy in & it was all positive from there. The Dentist was just as amazing. They know how to speak to children, how to calm them. She even let them do x-rays, which could not be done before. I'm so glad we found them!

Broken tooth

Horrible customer service!!!!!! I used this dentist a few years ago with no problems and now that the tooth that they put in has fallen out, they refused me as a patient!!! The lady even told me that she doesn't know why I was dismissed as a patient!!!!! Not sure if this is because I'm African American but I wouldn't be surprised if it was. Don't use them!!!! It literally took me 10 phone calls and a call to the dentists other number for a response, oh and they also answered and hung up on me a few times. Extremely unprofessional!!!!

My dentist was Meghna Prakash (Meg for short) and she is one of the sweetest, caring, patient people I've ever met. It was very wonderful to meet her, especially in her profession! More dentists like her are needed. I was very uncomfortable and anxious so I asked if Meg could attend during my root canal therapy the Endodontist would perform and she cleared a whole hour of her schedule for it, I am utterly grateful and enchanted, they allowed me to watch SpongeBob and it helped me to relax. Meg helped me to relax, by being very kind, explaining to me what things she will doing for the procedure, stopping and taking breaks if needed and going at my pace. The office staff, receptionist and dentist assistants were also quite wonderful and helpful. I'm very grateful I chose this dentistry, I highly recommend it, and if you do, ask for Meg! On another note, I've never use anesthetic or nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and she helped to be much more comfortable with trying nitrous oxide Thank you again so much!!!!

Have been with LDC for over 10 years and admittedly I should have written 2 reviews long time back…read more First review: it's for Justin, front desk support. Sadly, he has left LDC. That said, I'm hoping he gets to read this. Justin is super friendly, caring, thoughtful, funny and helpful. He is one of those people that you won't forget and love going back to LDC. He remembers me and my precious furry baby Popperz. And never fail to ask how he is doing and what latest great adventures my hubby and I have been to. He even recommended me the best dental insurance when I had to get one. He is just such a good guy. I wish he is still with LDC. But I trust he is doing well and exploring his next adventure with zeal. Second review: it's for Wei, dental hygienist. I had many different dental hygienist for the last 10 years with them. And recently (1year or less), I knew Wei will be the best go-to dental hygienist. She's super attentive, jovial, meticulous, encouraging and more. She has 2 cutest furry babies ever. And has them on her monitor screen. It feels so at home and I love it. She loves her fur babies and shares how she manages them including doing their teeth. Lol. She takes care of my teeth very well and recommended me good dental products for maintenance. I love that she is there. Besides, everyone in LDC is very nice. But these are the 2 prominent support team members that I have the need to shout out! Thanks Justin and Wei!

I'm a patient of Dr. Levine. About 10 years ago, another dentist repaired one of my teeth, but…read morewithin two years the tooth started developing a cavity that kept getting worse. During that time, I saw several other dentists. One dentist eventually decided to extract the tooth because it was causing pain. After the extraction, I looked at the tooth and saw that aside from a small brown cavity, the tooth -- especially the root -- still looked healthy. I deeply regretted having it removed because it probably could have been saved with a root canal and continued to last for many years. Because of that experience, when another dentist later recommended extracting two more teeth, I decided to seek a second opinion. I didn't want to lose more teeth unnecessarily. My husband found Levine Family Dental online. After carefully examining my teeth, Dr. Levine made recommendations that I truly believe were the right ones. I still clearly remember him saying: 'Don't rush to pull teeth. Modern dentistry has many advanced ways to restore teeth -- implants, bridges, and more -- but your natural teeth belong to you, and if they can be saved, I will help you save them.' Hearing that made me incredibly happy and relieved. Throughout my treatment, Dr. Levine was extremely careful, thorough, and professional. His treatment plans and dental work restored my teeth and relieved my pain. I can now enjoy eating again without discomfort or worrying about sensitive teeth. I'm very grateful to Dr. Levine -- not only for his dental skill and clinical experience, but also for his integrity and compassionate attitude toward patients. He is a dentist I truly trust. I highly recommend that anyone facing difficult dental decisions seek Dr. Levine's opinion before agreeing to extractions. Preserving your natural teeth whenever possible is so important

Incredible dentist who stays on top of the latest technology. I've been coming to this practice…read moresince this husband and wife team bought the place 20 years ago because I was a patient of the previous dentist. My husband and I have continued with the Levines ever since. What keeps me coming here even though I now live 100 miles away is the fact that Dr. Levine is what I want in a dentist. He is precise in his work and is technically outstanding. He makes you feel comfortable, it's easy to ask questions, and he communicates well so that I can understand. He is respectful and has extensive training and knowledge. He continues to improve the practice by staying current on all dentistry practices. He now makes his own crowns in the office so no need for a temporary. He is able to make adjustments to this crown in-house if necessary to prevent an additional trip into the office. Dr. Levine showed me how the crown is customized and it is pretty amazing! And most importantly, Dr. Levine is gentle and will warn you in advance if you will be feeling anything. The hygienist I see is Darlene and she is accommodating and works hard to keep your pearly whites in excellent condition. I have gone through a few other hygienists here but she has worked out the best for me. She is warm, friendly and I always feel like my teeth are incredibly clean as I leave the office. I love getting my teeth cleaned by Darlene as I feel like I'm getting a reset and clean slate for the next six months. The front desk is responsive and kind too. Everyone here helps to ensure you receive compassionate care and you feel welcomed and at ease. I had some dental work done during this last appointment where I was given a heads up that I needed to be in the office for two hours. During this time I could hear the office staff speak in warm and friendly tones to each other so the atmosphere is calm and professional at all times. You can tell they respect each other and enjoy working together. The practice has also gone through some beautiful transformations since the Levines took over. The interior is aesthetically pleasing with beautiful artwork, furniture, and modern equipment. I recommend Dr. Levine wholeheartedly.

Dear Western Dental Team, I am writing to share my positive…read moreexperience at your Livermore office. The entire team was professional and knowledgeable. I would like to specifically commend Jackie, the Assistant, for the care she took while capturing my X-rays, and Jacob, the manager, for making the financing process for my treatment so seamless. Additionally, I was very impressed by Dr. Swati, who was able to identify the issues with my teeth during the examination without me even having to mention them. Dr Murarka did the deep cleaning for me without injecting to num me, however she used numbing jell to my surprise was more than enough I didn't feel the slightest pain during the treatment. Thank you for the excellent service. Why 4 stars? because I expected polishing at the end. Best regards, Maha Hassan

I found this dentist through Zocdoc based on the high ratings and glowing reviews. Unfortunately,…read moremy personal experience was completely different. From the beginning, the visit felt unprofessional. I waited for more than 30 minutes past my appointment time. I was told everything would take about an hour, but I ended up being in the chair for nearly three hours. During the procedure, I felt very uncomfortable. The doctor's hands were visibly shaking, which made me anxious throughout the treatment. I don't know what the reason was, but it did not inspire confidence. I had a root canal and a crown done there, and shortly after, I developed complications that I am still dealing with almost three years later. I've seen multiple other dentists since then, and they were surprised by the quality of the work that had been done. I continue to experience pain in my tooth and jaw. Even with insurance, the treatment was very expensive, and unfortunately, the quality did not match the cost. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this clinic or this provider. I strongly suggest doing thorough research and possibly seeking a second opinion before committing to treatment here. Now I had a herpes and infection in my mouth.
