Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent Doctor, it's a shame he retired.
Dr. Lichtenstein was my first doctor when I transferred my physician from L.A. to Palm Springs, CA. I was impressed with the amount of time he had spent with me, asking questions about my health history,etc. . He was a very thorough doctor and It's a shame that he retired. Since then I went through three doctors at DAP Health, because they all left DAP. I tried to transfer with other doctors at Eisenhower but they were not taking new clients.

I was a patient of Dr Lichtenstein in Denver. He is the shining example of what Doctor should represent! He is caring, compassionate, and empathetic! His ability to communicate with a person on their level is beyond expectation! He is one of the finest people in his profession, as well as knowledgeable and able to connect with his patients. He goes the extra mile to keep his patients healthy!

Dr. Lichtenstein is a jewel of a doctor: compassionate, caring, thorough in his examination, and in how he explains everything in layman's terms. When I heard he was retiring, I was upset.

Dr. Lichtenstein reminds me of Marcus Welby, M.D., if you're old enough to remember that TV show. The first word that comes to mind is "kindly." I've been seeing Dr. Lichtenstein for about three years now, and I'm totally satisfied. He never seems rushed, which is great and very different from most every other doctor nowadays. So many other doctors seem like they have ten other more important things going on when you see them, but not Dr. Lichtenstein. His care is refreshingly retro.
