Barry C Levine, DMD

I went here for a standard wisdom teeth extraction. They convinced my insurance would cover the extra portion of the procedure that was not necessary. 6 months later they came back and said I owed him $ 2,200 that my insurance did not cover. After talking to my insurance company they stated they did not ask what was covered. The staff was very unprofessional and had no idea what they were doing. After arguing with them for several months trying to get my insurance to pay for it they decided to send my account into collections. I would highly advise anybody that has to go here for a surgery to make sure they submit to your insurance company in writing what procedures they’re going to do and wait until your insurance company sends a letter back saying exactly what they will cover. At this point I’m looking at fraud and neglect malpractice. I also had complications of the portion of the surgery they recommended and my insurance deemed not necessary.

THE BEST DOCTOR! I have always had a phobia about Dentists/​oral surgeons, but Dr. Levine was absolutely fantastic! His chair side manner made me feel relaxed and confident. His office staff is the best, most professional, and friendly I have ever experienced. I was in and out in about an hour and a half. I had two extractions, and never once experienced pain, or even had to use pain medication when I was done. The best thing was the Doctor even called me at 9PM the same night from his home phone, to make sure I was doing OK. NOW THAT IS WHAT I CALL A DOCTOR!!! If you have dental surgery needs in the Tampa area THIS is the man to see. Thank you Dr. Levine for being so professional, and compassionate. Also thanks to your staff! They were excellent! You girls rock!!! K.M. Ziegler

I called today for an appointment for severe, painful lockjaw at the recommendation of my dentist. According to the receptionist named Jody, Dr. Levine does not accept United Healthcare insurance. When I asked why, she, stated, «Because we get to pick and choose who we want to deal with». So OK, he may be a fantastic oral surgeon, but not feeling to warm and fuzzy about the office staff. The receptionist offered no other suggestions or options for me either. And in many years with United Healthcare, I’ve not had any facility refuse their coverage until now.

Dr. Levine is an amazing oral surgeon! He’s genuinely caring and definitely is one of the best. I went in today to have all four of my wisdom teeth removed. I’m a big baby so I opted for sedation (IV) and local anesthesia. The procedure was over before I knew it. There was no swelling whatsoever the day of the surgery, but minor swelling appeared day after, but it wasn’t too bad. There wasn’t much pain at all, which is shocking since I have zero tolerance for pain. Dr. Levine called me personally around 7:30 pm tonight to check up on me. This man truly cares for his patients and I would recommend him to anyone. I also loved that he explained everything he was doing while he did it and the way he talks just made me feel very calm. He definitely deserves ¹⁰⁄₅ stars!!!
About 5 days after the surgery, I was in pain and went to see him. He looked in my mouth and knew right away that it was probably the stitches irritating me. He removed them and I scheduled a follow up for two days later. I’m feeling a lot better and definitely recommend Dr. Levine to anyone who’s afraid of getting this done. He’ll make you feel calm the entire time and he knows what he’s doing.

Dr. Levine is truly heaven sent. I had my 2 bottom wisdom teeth pulled today. I was extremely nervous, however after chatting with him before the surgery, I could really tell he was passionate about his work and people, he’s extremely gentle and caring. I was actually put to sleep (I’m a big baby, so I couldn’t deal with being awake during the surgery.) what I loved most about Dr. Levine is his genuine customer service before I left he came to the recovery room to check on me. His office is closed and he just called to check on me again, I loved him so much, I’m now at home writing him a review (this is first review ever, I felt I at least owes him the decency of writing him a great review. We often complain about the bad things that go on, and never the good things.) I would recommend Dr. Levine to anyone on this earth, that’s nervous or unsure as to whom they should choose. If I ever need any work done, I’ll travel across the country to Dr. Levine.

Had all 4 wisdom teeth extracted in one sitting. Used a local anesthetic instead of a general. Dr. Levine was professional, courteous, patient, and very calming during a procedure that many people had me fearing. This is not a fun procedure but Dr. Levine made it as easy as it could possibly be. He was also very quick about it, not as though he was rushing just that he wasn’t wasting time, he frequently asked if I needed a break and if I was doing alright. One thing I really appreciated was that he told me what was going on while he was doing it. It was nice to know how the procedure was progressing.
I have absolutely no complaints and would highly recommend him to anyone who needs oral surgery.

About 11 months ago I had all 4 wisdom teeth extracted by Dr Levine. It was (all things considered) an amazingly positive experience. Doc is super cool and laid back, but definitely knows his stuff. Nurses are friendly. Whole process took less than 20 minutes. No real swelling or pain after surgery either. And sockets healed perfectly.
Yesterday I went back in to have some calcium build up on the jaw bone (called Tori) removed because it was causing me terrible pain. I was nervous going in because it seemed like it would be a pretty intense surgery — and procedurally it definitely was because they have to grind the bone pretty good — but once again I was in and out in less than 30 minutes. And here I am today without any real swelling and I’m not in too much pain at all.
I highly recommend Dr Levine for oral surgery.

This guy is amazing. I searched online and his name came up. I went in for a consultation and opted to have them pulled immediately. I opted for local and was in and out very quickly. I dreaded having it done, but it really was very simple and easy. I had no swelling and felt no pain. If you need to get wisdom teeth pulled, see this guy.

These guys are solid, I’ve had some good general dentist in the past and they are up there. Staff is friendly and personable.

I had an emergency wisdom teeth (2) extraction after developing an abscess, and got referred to dr Levine. I opted for general anesthesia as I really didn’t want to sit through what I thought was going to be an extensive ordeal in terms of digging out those teeth.
It really turned out to be a walk in the park. The whole thing was over in 30 minutes (start to finish), and I was not sore from the teeth themselves. I did have chapped lips, and a sore jaw, but not even close to the horror stories I’d heard. I was also slightly swollen in the face. I was functioning reasonably the day after, and fully up and running again 3 days later.
Dr Levine has a great personality. He spends time with you to make sure you understand everything, establishes a personal report, and follows up the day after to make sure everything is OK. He knows what he is doing, and has a lot of experience. I highly recommend him for any oral surgery procedure.

So I looked to the internet for a recommendation for an oral surgeon to get my last 2 wisdom teeth pulled. All of them were for Barry Levine. I scheduled my appointment and went in. They made me watch a video on what was going to happen and all that (been there, done that, not sure why I needed a video but ok) before having a short consultation and heading off to get them removed. I opted for local instead of general anesthesia, and it feels like the procedure took 10 minutes tops from start to finish. They sent me on my way with a script for antibiotics and painkillers just in case. I’m not sure how he did it but I had no major pain once the Novocain wore off and I was actually able to function like a human being. I didn’t have any major swelling (I’m guessing it’s from the stuff they used to reduce it) either. Great experience for having something cruddy done!
