The doctor is terrific - is good at explaining treatment alternatives and has a comforting and attentive chair-side manner. The hygienists and other staff are also top notch (and that is something that matters a great deal in a periodontal/dental practice - - the advantages of a great doctor can be more than offset by the disadvantages of a staff in which one lacks confidence, but, fortunately, in the case of Dr. Levine, the high quality of the staff complements the excellence of Dr. Levine).
