My name is Aviva Scherman Levine. I graduated from UOP School of Dentistry in 1990 and completed a general practice residency at UOP in 1991. I have practiced dentistry in San Francisco and for the past four years have been working in the San Mateo office with Dr. Wus team. I am a wife, a mother of three teenagers and have a loving labradoodle.

At a very young age I realized that I wanted to become a dentist. Choosing this career was an easy decision for me, in part because my childhood dentist was very kind. I also love to work with my hands, sewing, needlepointing and other crafts which require fine motor skills. As I got older the thought of a career in dentistry just made sense. I love my work and enjoy helping each person improve their oral health through education, understanding and team work.

I am a board certified physician anesthesiologist (Diplomate of the American Board of Anesthesiology 1985, recertification 2009) with over 30 years of experience in a wide variety of practice settings.

I attended Occidental College in Los Angeles graduating with a degree in chemistry, received my medical degree from Tulane Medical School in New Orleans, Louisiana, and completed my medical specialty training in anesthesiology at Stanford University Hospital in Palo Alto.

Following my anesthesia residency I joined the clinical faculty of the Stanford resident training program in anesthesia at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center training other doctors to become anesthesiologists before joining the Palo Alto Medical Foundation.

My experience includes the delivery of anesthetic care for all major surgical subspecialties including cardiac, neuro, high-risk obstetrical, pediatric, spinal cord, burn, major orthopedic and multiple trauma surgery.

My current practice is dedicated to office-based anesthesia for outpatient surgical and dental procedures. I am licensed by both the Medical and Dental Boards of California to provide general anesthesia services.

I become a registered dental assistant in 2014 and have been in the dental field for past ten years. I joined Dr. WU office in the year 2015. I feel so fortunate to work with a team that is driven by compassion. I have also had the opportunity to experience Dr. WUs expertise in different aspects of dentistry. In my spare time, I love to spend time with my family and watch movies. We look forward to making you all smile.

I graduated from University of Pacific in 2010, I have been working for Dr. Wu since 2012 and I love what I am doing now. Whenever I have time I also like baking, open a bakery was one of my dreams. I also enjoy traveling with my family and friends, and spending some quality time together.

I graduated from the University of the East, Philippines year 1992 with a degree of Doctor of Dental Medicine. I got my license and worked at the Philippine Navy Dental Dispensary as a dentist and also had my own private practice for 6 years. I migrated to US and worked as a dental assistant and took my license as an RDA year 2002. Then, I took my license as an RDAEF year 2007. Ive been in the dental field since 1993.
