From the very moment that I walked through the door I felt at ease. Not sure why I felt that way as I have always seemed a little on edge when it comes to visiting the dentist but this time...this time it just felt different. The staff greeted me with kindness and from there my initial consultation experience only got better. Meeting my hygienist and Dr. Levy continued to chip away at my fear until I no longer seemed concerned about the what if's that kept nagging at my conscience and confidence. All in all, my initial consultation went very well and I look forward to returning for my next scheduled appointment and to engage my plan to a healthy, happy smile.
Thank you very much, Dr. Levy :-)

Post 2: Post Completion
Now that Dr. Levy and I have completed the journey we started just over a year ago, I would like to take some time to reflect upon that journey. As you reflect upon my first post you will notice that I was quite uncertain as to if I could complete such a journey, well that answer is a resounding yes and here is my testimony as to why.
Dr. Mark Levy and his remarkable staff of professionals nurtured me every step of the way. From the very first day when Dr. Levy asked me just what I was willing to accomplish in terms of a restoring a long lost but not forgotten smile I responded with this...Dr. Levy I've done extensive research on restorative dental work and I have done extensive research on you and I firmly believe that I am in the right place with the right individual who can rebuild my smile. He acknowledged with a modest thank you for choosing him then said lets get to work .
Dr. Levy then proceeded to ask me questions about what I expected out of him and his staff. We worked hard those early visits to plot a course to a brand new smile and not just any smile but rather one that just didn't please me but pleased him because he told me that if he did not like it (my new smile) we would continue to work on it until it does. That is the kind of dedication to his patients that comes naturally for Dr. Levy. I know this by having experienced it firsthand.
We finished up the complete smile makeover just over a month ago and I must profess that it took some doing to refrain from writing this post but I had my reasons and now that I have come full circle with that those reasons and the vast impact (my new smile) has made in my daily life.
See I waited for Christmas to arrive such that I could gauge secretly the depth of the pictures being take by all of my loved ones; more importantly, the impact that it (my new smile) had on those I love.
I must admit the pictures were extremely impressive. In full display was my new smile and not just a smile but mine...one that had been sadly missing for well over thirty-eight years had returned compliments of Dr. Mark Levy and his wonderful staff. I cannot put into words the full range of emotions (tears of joy being one of them) that I felt on Christmas day because I'm certain there's not enough space in this post for them.
I'll close with this, for anyone out there in front of a computer monitor or other media source seeking to rebuild their long lost smile please be pro-active and seek out Dr. Mark Levy double quick. He is a man of great responsibility and skill. Truly a master of his craft with impeccable vision for the finished product (your new smile) and a highly competent staff of professionals to see you through to a wonderful new you.
My biggest regret is singular....I wished that I had sought out and approached Dr. Levy sooner. I have attached a photo that I believe speaks for itself but you get to be the judge. Please do not procrastinate as a whole new you awaits.
Much love to those at the dental office of Dr. Mark Levy and a special shout out to Lori...thank you so much for coordinating my journey. God Speed
Internally Grateful,
James Barrett
