“** Surgical Expertise and Outstanding Patient Care\!** I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Dr\. Lickenstein and his entire staff for the outstanding care I received following my Mohs surgery Having cancer removed from your face can be a stressful experience, and the importance of having a skilled surgeon who understands the delicate nature of facial reconstruction cannot be overstated\. Dr Lickenstein did an excellent job closing the surgical area after my Mohs procedure, and I truly appreciate his expertise, precision, and attention to detail. Equally impressive was the professionalism and kindness of his entire staff\. From the moment I walked into the office, everyone was welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive\. They made me feel comfortable and reassured throughout the process, taking the time to make sure I felt cared for and confident\. What sets Dr. Lickenstein and his team apart is the combination of surgical skill, professionalism, and genuine compassion for their patients\. When you are dealing with skin cancer on your face, you want to know that you are in capable hands, and I felt that I received exactly that kind of care\. I am extremely grateful to Dr. Lickenstein and his staff for their excellent work and the attention they gave me\. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing surgical closure or reconstruction following Mohs surgery\. **Thank you, DrLickenstein, and your entire team, for your outstanding expertise, kindness, and dedication to your patients\. You all deserve five stars\!**”
“What an amazing group of folks! I recently led an event with the team from Lickstein Plastic Surgery, and they were more like a family than co-workers. The level or care and compassion they showed for their team obviously transfers to their patients. By the end of the event, I wished I worked for them! I have always believed the way you can tell a good business is how they treat their own employees. These folks not only take care of their patients, they take care of their own. Good hospitality starts within. I wish all of my events were with this caliber of company.”
“Dr. Forleiter is fabulous! He is easy to talk to, listens, and expertly solved a reconstructive issue I had so beautifully it brought me to tears. I am so grateful and blessed to have found him. His staff is warm and welcoming and take such good care of you. Thank you a million times for such a positive and rewarding experience.”
“Dr. Lickstein and his team were amazing! From the front desk to the operating room; AMAZING! I had explant surgery (breast implant removal) with a lift on 5/6/26. 3 weeks into recovery have been given the green light! Dr. Lickstein has a lovely, calm, straightforward personality. He is a wonderful man. He listened to me, gave me space, did not try to talk me into anything I did not want to do like other doctors I went to for consultation and was very clear about what to expect before, during and after. The medical care was superior; excellent! Dr. Lickstein, Lisa Londy, all the PA's, anesthesiologist, and operating nurses (I hope I didn't leave anyone out) were all AMAZING. I felt confident with my decision and safe in their care. A 10 outta 10 experience. I recommend Dr. Lickstein with all the stars!!! I am a satisfied customer!”
“Dr. Forleiter, Crystal, and all of the staff of Lickstein Plastic Surgery are incredible! Dr. Forleiter did an incredible job with my surgeries. His attention to detail and skills are unmatched. You can tell that everyone in the office really cares about what they do and their patients. My oncologist and other doctors on my medical team have been so impressed with the results of my mastectomy revision. He’s also very mindful and supportive of breast cancer patients which is so important! One of the things I really like about Dr. Forleiter is that he empowered me to make decisions when possible - he always listed the options, pros and cons to each, and then we made decisions as a team based on my goals. This is so rare in a medical provider and is especially meaningful to me as a cancer patient since so many medical things are out of my control. I also decided to do a cosmetic procedure at the same time as my revision and their office handled everything - including working with my insurance. Overall was and continues to be a great experience working with them!”
