Jay L Levy, DDS

Ok, bottom line first – Dr. Jay Levy is a fantastic dentist. I have been a patient of Dr. Levy’s for about 15 years and my wonder at his knowledge, skill, caring, friendliness and comforting manner has never ceased. If willingness to refer family counts for anything, I sent my wife to Dr. Levy shortly after I began with him and my daughter as soon as she was beyond the pediatrics. He treats my whole family and I would refer anyone I care for to him in a heartbeat. When you are in his office, you know you have 1000% of his attention. He is careful with all procedures and takes his time, including with cleanings, which he performs himself meticulously (rather than the usual where a hygienist does the work and the dentist stops in to say hello). If there is a dental emergency, his staff will get you in quickly, Dr. Levy will assess the situation and explain all options, although he usually recommends the less intrusive, less expensive path if it will work. The man truly takes pride in his work, and the patient is the beneficiary. And the staff are great too. The offices were fully renovated a few years ago and all the equipment is total state-​of-​the-​art. (There is one bad review of Dr. Levy on here which rings so false it angers me – yeah, getting your dental work done THEN telling the doc you have no insurance and being pissed that he dared to bill you for what was owed may be someone’s idea of fair, but not mine.) I can’t recommend Dr. Levy and his staff highly enough. I and my family hope to benefit from his care for years to come. Dentists may be a dime a dozen, but Jay Levy is pure gold. (Oh yeah, did I mention he’s also lead guitar for not one, but two classic rock banks in Jersey? Not shabby for your neighborhood doctor of dentistry…)

I’ve been going to Dr. (Jay) Levy for about two years now, and this review is well over-​due — Dr. Levy and his office has been spectacular each visit. They are always on time, but more importantly, Dr. Levy is fantastic and very thorough. He takes his time, he is kind and caring (and so is his staff), and most of all, he performs the cleaning himself (not a hygienist) with expert attention.
When I moved to New York City a few years back, I was looking for a dentist, and by chance, came across Dr. Levy’s office. I am super glad I did, and he’s been the best dentist I’ve had over the years. I would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a great dentist, and really appreciate his demeanor and careful attention to my dental health!

I have been going to Jay Levy for a few years. In January my plan changed to a DMO from a PPO. This was an unfortunate oversight. When I was hit for a $ 250 cleaning bill I had hoped to get some consideration (I knew I was going to have to pay something out of pocket), but Jay was unwilling to give any loyalty discount or consideration for the years I’d been going to see him. That’s poor form and it is a testament to his character as a business person and care provider. Don’t let his alligator smile fool you. He’s just another cunning UWS dentist who cares more about the bottom line, than your health. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere, dentists are a dime a dozen.

Dr. Levy is an wonderful dentist. He took his time and gave my teeth the most thorough cleaning and examination I have had at the dentist, leaving my mouth feeling squeaky clean afterwards. At the end of the appointment he gave me detailed toothbrushing and flossing instructions that I learned something from despite many receiving many such instructions from other dentists in the past. Him and his staff were pleasant to interact with and it was easy to make an appointment.

I’ve been meaning to write a review for ages and figured it’s time!
I’ve been going to Dr. Levy for about 4 years now and have never had a better, more professional dentist in my entire life.
Dr. Jay Levy is very personal and professional with his clients and is always on time with his appointments! It is very reassuring that he does all the work and not just a dental hygienist, unlike my last 3 dentists (I’ve moved a lot).
I found him randomly online 4 years ago when I needed a quick trip to the dentist on the UWS and even though I’ve since moved to Brooklyn, I still go to him twice a year and have even referred a friend to him.

I’ve been to Dr. Levy for my last two dental visits. Similar to the other reviewers, I have found him to be extremely courteous and engaged with his patients. He takes his time and discusses your specifics with you, and genuinely seems to enjoy his work and care about you. His work seems good too. I really enjoy him as a dentist.

My husband goes to Jay and I go to his wife Marcy. We’ve been clients for 9 years and I refer anyone and everyone that needs a dentist in the city.
The basics:
— They’re always on time
— Accomodating and friendly
— They actually see you — not a hygenist
— They do a great job.
I think ALL of the 10 people I’ve referred are still clients. Why would you go anywhere else?

Never in my life have a spent more time with a dentist. Talk about some interest on behalf of the DDS. Generally, the assistant does the cleaning and you see the dentist for all of 3 minutes. Not here. Dr. Levy sat and talking with me for 10 minutes before the assistant took all my xrays. He then performed the cleaning (a very good cleaning at that). He was gentle and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process. He spent about 30 – 40 minutes cleaning my teeth. He then went over all of the xrays with me and sent me home with a dental care package.
Yes, his offices aren’t new, and yes, they don’t use the latest and greatest technology. But the time the dentist spent with me outweighs all those other amenities. He was extremely thorough and actually took an interest in my dental well being. I’m glad to have finally found my dentist in NYC.
Also, his offices are located on Central Park West and 72^nd (hopefully Unilocal will update this soon)!
