"Had an appointment today. This man was not listening to what I was telling him and because I don't want to take a pill for every problem he started yelling at me like I was a child. Fortunate for him I kept my composure and walked out. The woman who schedules appointments is just as rude as he is. This office is extremely unprofessional. The Dr is arrogant, is more interested in his opinion than listening to the patient who is paying for his services. Three years of this poor quality medical service is enough for me. Maybe when they have to start looking for jobs, they will treat patients better. However, if you're the type to be silent and just take pills, by all means see this quack. Why I tolerated this incompetent man is beyond me. Never again!"

"This doctor is rude, incompetent, doesn't listen to the patient and prescribes a pill for everything. He's arrogant, spends about 5 minutes or less with you. Being a patient here is a colossal waste of time and money ."

"I am SO grateful for hard working and caring physicians like Dr. Lichtinger! When my husband and I developed Covid this past August he prescribed antivirals for both of us. Actually, he did that TWICE for me since I am on Humira and had a harder time with Covid than probably most people have, due to the fact that Humira lowers resistance in general. He has always been there for us and I would Highly recommend him to anyone! "

"Extremely unprofessional behavior exhibited by this D.O. He screamed at me, completely preventing me from giving ANY input on my illness. He has not kept up with current NIH and CDC recommendations regarding COVID-19 and treatments. He does not prescribe or recommend taking antivirals , like Paxlovid. He wholly advises against their use. He criticizes the use of vaccines for COVID-19, saying they are dangerous causing many side effects. As a patient, one must be their own advocate. Otherwise, treatment by a D.O. like Lichtinger may harm or kill you."

"I am new to this medical practice and would like to express my pleasure in the way I was treated. The office girls were kind and helpful, and I only had a short wait. Dr. Lichtinger is welcoming and takes time to listen and to explain my condition and treatment. "

"I have been very unhappy with the continued rudeness of the young girl up front who does appointments.She has given me a hard time ever since I have been going here.Today was the final straw ! I was told to gt a bone density test after my surgery & radiation & when I called today she said I hadn't been there forever & needed an office visit ,ALL bloodwork & other tests before they would give me a BD test ! I was just there in Jan.but she said that didn't count because it was a PreOp ! I need the test before I start my cancer meds in the next week or so.I had bloodwork done at the Cancer Institute on Tues.Unless things change I will not be going back to Dr. L anymore !! I am tried of being treated like this by the office staff,especially after I was told by the doctor there to wait & come get it later after my surgery & radiation was done .Just finished radiation last Wed..She said NO..not unless I had a complete work up to establish me as a patient.Her rudeness did not end there !! I ...
was told she would have her Office Manger call me to "explain to me HOW THINGS WORKED " !!! Just rude.Very dissatisfied !!! "
