My daughter has autism and needed 4 wisdom teeth extracted and other dental issues such as cavities. The process was longer than I imagined from 930 to 530. I think more communication was needed because once I was told what had to be done no one ever came back for updates or to explain how she would react coming out of anesthesia, which was awful. The bill was crazy high over 14k. Unfortunately, it's hard to find a Dentist that handles this population and does full sedation.
The doctor is well versed and I commend him for his dedication to this population. The nurses were friendly but sometimes abrupt or a bit controlling probably bc of being so busy. However, I am pleased and would recommend this office to any special needs family knowing it's a long process and very expensive.

Wish there was a 10 star rating that I could use for Dr. Lichtenstein! He is the Cadillac of Dentists in my opinion. Have been going to him for 30 years. Always has the patient's best interest in mind in all the work he does. When I first went to Dr. Lichtenstein I needed a lot of work and because of my fear of dentists I wanted a dentist who was able to give me anesthesia. He is a masterful surgeon who will save as many teeth as possible. His staff is caring, friendly and knowledgeable.

I can't say enough great things about this office. Dr. Lichtenstein is wonderful, he will never let you be in pain. The staff is professional, caring & friendly. I am someone who has always been extremely afraid of dental work. Not anymore, if you are like that this is the place for you.

I have had issues all my life with dentists who were unable to get me numb enough to perform invasive work. I came across an article in a magazine about sedation dentistry and Dr. Lee's name was on the list. Ten years ago I walked into his office with some serious work to be done and I've been an extremely satisfied patient ever since! Dr. Lee has a great "chairside" manner and he really puts you at ease as he does what needs to be done.
His staff is very professional and courteous. This is literally the first time in my life where I don't dread making the visit to the office. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Lee and his staff for your dental needs and care!

I am surprised to see the negative reviews here. When I first came to Dr. Lichtenstein's office my teeth were a mess. He is a no frills type dentist, which some might find off putting, but I appreciate his straight forward style. His work is very good. I had several procedures under general anesthesia at his office and have not had any issues.
