He doesn't listen at all, seems like he's just trying to rush through. He acts like he doesn't remember anything about my history that he has done for me in the past. No real sense of urgency to come up with solutions. Been going there a year and a half and I've yet to get any pain relief. Has found several very rare problems and is still writing me off. If you want answers avoid him, he may be able to do injections, testing, and medications, but as a doctor he could care less about your pain or your injury.

I think Dr. Lichenfeld is wonderful .He took up a lot of time with me and did not rush me into something I did not want. He gave me the time I needed over several visits to realize what I needed. He knew all along what was needed . I would tell everyone to go to him with a back problem. Very kind Doctor

Dr. L is A-1. If you are in need of pain management, he's the best! I had another (L) hip IASI procedure this morning and Dr. L and his team, JJ and Raphael, were awesome. Complete patient satisfaction is the name of their game. Thank you.

I had terrible experiences with Dr. Lichtenfeld and would NEVER use him again. I had never met him and he walked into the exam room with my MRI in his hand. He never introduced himself and his first comment to me was “ you have an ugly spine”. How unprofessional! He has no “ people” skills or bedside manner. He performed 2 procedures on me and both times gave his scheduler the wrong procedure. Twice I was in agony and it was almost impossible to get meds from him. The first time he went to a dinner party, knowing I was in extreme pain, and I had to call him twice to get him to phone in the Rx. Luckily the pharmacy stayed open 15 minutes extra so I could get the Rx. The second time I needed a Rx I had to call him 3 times. When I had a rare side effect from the ablation procedure I was in agony for 3 1/2 weeks and he acted like he could care less and didn’t even tell me about such a possible reaction. I would die before I would ever let him touch me again!!!!!

God forbid if you tell him you are hurting 8/10, he gives you no medicine. Been hurting for months with a bad neck and he says "oh you have alot of problems" on your MRI. No compassion at all.

Rushes through appointments. Does all the talking/doesn’t listen. Has no compassion or sympathy for people in pain. It is a nightmare getting medication with this Doc.

I had an ablation procedure with this doctor and it did me no good at all and there was no follow up. I was at two different appointments for follow up and both times no one was there to see me. I waited for an hour each time before I was told no one was there. He nor any member of his team has bothered to contact me even after I complained. He has no regard for the patient.
