I found Dr. Benlevi very disrespectful, but the assistant was kind.
I went to Dr. Benlevi about a year ago and this is the worst dentist I've ever been to. Things he did: 1. Charged me extra for a "deep cleaning" that was literally just a regular dental cleaning 2. Had me do 4 shots of Arestin, which after researching is unindicated and cost $100 each. 4. Cracked my tooth and added a "filling", that fell out 1 day later and in the process burned the inside of my cheek badly. This guy is just running a scam, charging patients extra wherever possible with no regard for patient care. The reception staff was also really unprofessional and was having a shouting match while I was waiting. I also went during peak covid and no one working there was wearing a mask properly. Its a shame that this is the first dentist on the portal when you search for a dentist.
Waited 30+min before walking out. Place is rundown, dentist was busy nailing the ceiling/fixing lights. Only works 6x/month, so good luck if you have any emergency. Place feels like some back alley shop. Yelp reviews horrific. Dentist was unfriendly, they didn't apologize and just shuffled me to the x-ray like some cattle for the slaughter. Walked out and glad I did.
Wish I read the previous review before going in. The office looked terrible, dirty. I felt like it was a factory in there. All the dentist seemed to care about was what "extra" service he could charge me for. I went for a basic cleaning and felt like they did half the job. Would never recommend.
I will start by saying I was in pain and went to this office for a root canal... I have Aetna platinum and my insurance covers 60% so I had to pay about $400... One of the staff told me I can pay a minimum of $100 to start the procedure. Once I went to pay the doc told me I needed to pay $200 to start the procedure. I was upset and wondered wow but I needed to be relieved of this pain so I did it. The procedure went well not to painful and was rushed... He worked for about 10 min after numbing me didn't wait to the numbness set in he just worked not even less than a second after numbing me. I came back 3 days later to get the second procedure done and he greeted me we talked I even complimented him on the quick work with not so much pain. He then proceeded to numb me. Minutes after numbing me a member of staff came in and told me I had a remaining balance of about $190. And i needed to pay now to finish the second procedure. I told her I just was here 3 days ago and I payed half aready and I will pay it next week before my 3 rd visit. Dr Sherwin came in and said come back when u have the money and left out!!! Horrible horrible horrible!!!! I asked the staff I don't understand why I have to pay in full now when I have 2 more procedures left? She said its up to the doc. He then came back in and said I told u u have to pay each time u come" that was a lie he did not tell me than in fact he didn't even ask me how I felt after he was finished wit my first procedure he immediately left out once he was done I don't even think he washed his hands. I told him I'm not coming back cause I feel this is crazy, And I'm being forced to pay a balance and the work is not even 50% done yet. He basically told me call my insurance and try to transfer since I don't want to come back. I was pissed!!! He also said it was a policy that the work had to be paid for on the spot and that he did me a favor. So before leaving I spoke with a another staff that was in the front and she was even surprised this was an issue. She spoke to him and then he decided to work on me with out the payment. Now did I let him? Absolutely not!!! its not about the money he can keep the 200 I payed him it's about the fact that he lied to me about a policy and he looked at me as if i was going to skip the payments and not pay what i owe. I didn't let him work on me I will never go back there again and I hope whoever goes there will see this and never go again. If u are looking for a dentist don't go to him he is money hungry and will discriminate if u look like me I guess. Now I'm stuck On a Saturday with cement in my mouth because he wouldn't work on me because of whatever reason he needed the whole balance for. It is a business and I understand that but for u to tell me it's a policy that was explained to me and it wasn't , and for u to break the policy by saying ok I'll work on u after realizing ya wrong is upright horrible. I wish him well in his career but U can't treat people like this based on how they look. My money is green also. I have Aetna and I pay for it biweekly and annual of $10,000 a year for my health dental and vision. Do u think I would run on a $190 bill and not be left with an unfinished Job on my teeth ?? I could have got my tooth pulled for free with no copay under my insurance Be serious. I hope someone reads this and never go to this dentist. He made me feel horrible.
