California Dental Innovations: Mina Levi DDS

I hadn’t been to the dentist in years, so I was a little nervous going in, but everyone here made me feel super comfortable right away. The staff is really friendly and down-to-earth — no judgment at all, just helpful and chill vibes. The cleaning was way smoother than I expected. They were really thorough but gentle, and they explained everything as they went. My teeth felt amazing afterward — seriously the cleanest they’ve been in a long time. They also broke everything down clearly when it came to insurance and future treatment, which I really appreciated. No pressure, just honest info and options. Overall, super happy I came here. Definitely coming back for regular cleanings now!

The office was clean and the staff were friendly and supportive, with the receptionist able to answer my questions about costs. My hygienist was particularly friendly and made conversation as he worked. However, I did find the x-rays to be uncomfortable, the music was too loud to properly hear a lot of the conversation, and I was surprised they didn't give me something to rinse my mouth with after the cleaning which feels very standard. Also I didn't receive any free dental supplies which every prior dentist has given me.

Comfortable space and thorough care

Everyone was super friendly and helped me figure out my insurance. Very professional and and caring dentists.

Very friendly front desk! Dentist was short + not confident in diagnosis. Also did not see the dentist I was scheduled with.

Great first experience with Dr Levi and her great staff!

Mina Levi's Staff took really good care of my during my visit. They explained everything in detailed and were patient with me throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend!

The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. They were receptive to my questions, and I was able to create a plan to take care of both my dental and orthodontic issues in one place, which was convenient.

I’ve been really impressed with the scheduling at this dentist’s office – it’s incredibly fast! I’ve never been able to book and attend an appointment in less than three days before. The staff is highly knowledgeable and friendly, always making sure you feel at ease and encouraging you to ask questions about your care. The office itself is really cool, with a modern vibe, and the city view from the 8th floor of the building in Union Square is amazing. I highly recommend taking public transit for convenience. The only downside is that there aren't individual treatment rooms; the chairs are in an open space, so you can hear everything happening with other patients, which can feel a bit awkward at times. But overall, a great experience!

Went there for a toothache, they explained me well the whole process.

Dr. Levi and the hygienists at the office are really friendly and courteous. It's a diverse team with professionalism and comfortable space.

Friendly

I had a filing come out and then my tooth cracked which caused the tooth to hurt really bad. I went to this dentist for treatment because they were open on a holiday and highly recommended by open care. I told the dentist when I arrived that the tooth was cracked. They did xrays and an exam. The dentist said the filing just needed to be replaced, no root canal. The hygienist numbed me and it was very painful. I didn’t get numb so the dentist numbed me again. Then I insisted that they wait a few minutes so that the medicine could set in before beginning. They did the filing but the entire time the pain was very present and I could feel the tooth moving around like it was loose. After the procedure I told them it hurt really bad still and they didn’t even offer me an ibuprofen. The next day I woke up swollen and in pain. I called to ask for advice and a follow up appointment but they instead referred me to a specialist. The specialist did more xrays and essentially told me the tooth is cracked way far down and needed to be extracted. So two days later I had to pay out of pocket to get the tooth pulled out. I had to pay out of pocket because my insurance limit was maxed out by this doctor doing invisiline scans and all this unnecessary stuff including a filing on a tooth that needed to be pulled. The ethical thing to do would have been to refer me to a specialist first to confirm the tooth wasn’t damaged beyond repair especially because I told the dentist that I felt the tooth crack!

Great experience

Dr Levi was great about explaining my options and the benefits of the dental recommendations she had. They have a lot of upgraded technology and the office is very clean and comfortable to sit in.

Awesome

Good experience

Hygienists didn’t really pay attention to patient’s comfort. I’ve never had X-rays taken that hurt this much. They are thorough and also take a full scan of your teeth to really highlight its condition. For better or for worse, they do upsell you on procedures.

Professional group!

It was a good experience

Everyone was very nice and efficient and my appointment started on time which was great

Everything was great

Dr Levi was a great dentist. I enjoyed meeting her, she answered all of my questions, and she was informative and thoughtful in her evaluation. my experience with the X-rays was less pleasant but when I asked to stop the assistant obliged.

The atmosphere was very pleasant, staff very courteous, professionalism showed through out the whole office staff.

Great friendly staff, really awesome experience for a dentist appointment. Appreciated the small talk and how attentive to everything they were.

Clean and modern office, highly competent staff. Dr. Levi is sharp and trustworthy. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

Dr. Mina is a really good and professional dentist, she was very kind and patient with me. She examined me thoroughly and explained in great detail my problem and the treatment I need. I highly recommend it.

Very kinda staff! I felt welcomed and cleaning was smooth. Pretty convenient location for those working downtown.

good service, clear communication

I've had subpar experiences with dentists in the past, but Dr. Levi always comes across as knowledgable, patient, and kind. She takes the time to explain the care I'm receiving and to go through my options, so I don't feel like I'm being railroaded into a choice. Plus, though my experience is limited, the practice seems fairly high-tech in its equipment.
