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.

I was recently faced with shoulder replacement surgery which was a concern with regard to my existing Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. Dr. Litman worked with my surgeon and the attending anesthesiologist to create a plan for a successful surgical outcome. I am pleased to say that my surgical experience was phenomenal and there was no impact on the CRPS. I am grateful to Dr. Litman for his part in the success of the procedure.

When I first went to Dr. Littman I was in awful pain, I couldn’t even stand up straight. My legs were so painful I wasn’t sleeping at night and I was miserable. With Dr. Littman’s help I’m standing straight and sleeping at night. I’m pain free and doing much better, and feeling more confident about the future. He is very caring and reminds me me that I have options.Dr. Littman takes his time to answer all my questions , also his staff is wonderful and caring as well. Thank you,

I have been a patient of Dr. Litman's for 3 years and he has done wonders for me. When I first saw him my pain level was at a 9-10. He scheduled me for epidurals which helped for a few months. He the recommended the radiofrequency injections and we proceeded with the proceedure. He did it on the right side of the spine. I just recently had this done on the left side and my lower spine is feeling great. I am pain free and loving it. He is a terrific pain specialist and I recommend him highly.

I have been a patient of Dr. Littman for nearly 16 years. He has kept me going and my quality of life has been excellent due to his procedures to my back and knees as well his knowledge and caring manner. He takes the time to talk with me at my office visits to him. I never feel rushed when I am in his office. His staff is wonderful. They always help me, whether I am in the office or on the telephone. It was because of Dr. Littman I was able to remain at work until my retirement and for that I will be forever grateful to Dr. Littman as well as his staff. If it wasn't for Dr. Littman my quality of life would be very low but Dr. Littman has made sure it is the very best that it can be and I can enjoy my life with my family. thank you Dr. Littman and staff!!

Dr. Litman listens to his patient. He is calm spoken and trustworthy. He takes the time to examine his patient and find the best treatment plan. The office staff were friendly and helpful. There was a short wait time to be seen and the office was clean.

Dr. Litman took time to explain what was wrong with my husband and answered all my questions. He followed up after my husband's procedure and made modifications depending on my husband's response to the medicine since my husband can be very sensitive to different drugs. He was direct and clear which was comforting, and he took away my husband's back pain.

Dr. Litman clearly is better educated and better trained than 99% of the doctors out there. He takes the time to answer questions and it is clear that he is not blowing smoke or trying to get the patient to shut up. I also really like that Dr. Litman keeps current on certifications and education and the latest techniques.
