We are proud of our outstanding team of professionals, many of whom have been with Dr. Harvey Levy & Associates for numerous years – on average, 13.4 years!
There are many reasons for our low employee turnover, which go beyond excellent benefits. We are united in our commitment to our patients’ oral and general health. All of us are compassionate towards patients with special needs or others who are underserved.
Our team members truly consider each other a work family. We care about each other and we care about you, our patients.
Because you’re usually seeing us behind PPE, below are photos that our team members took in their real lives!
