Patient Reviews
Aug 05, 2024
This is a brilliant diagnostician, having finally diagnosed and subsequently treated an adult onset, intermittent eye turn issue that had been plaguing me for over 20 years. Believe me, I had sought answers for my problem from all the so-called 'best' ophthalmology departments and neuro-ophthamology departments in NYC over the course of those 20 years and had always left disappointed and heartbroken over an issue that has such profound social impact on someone's life. This humble, straightforward, no-nonsense, solicitous clinician is a blessing to all his patients and I am and will be eternally grateful to him. If healing is an art, he is a virtuoso in his field. You or your child would be so fortunate to entrust your eye care to him. He is one in million. His office is very clean and his staff are warm, professional, efficient and welcoming. Thank you, Dr. Lichtenstein!!!
