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.

Dr L saw something on my routine EKG stress test and recommended a LHC which showed I had 3 blockages in a bad location. Three days later I had Triple Bypass surgery so I credit Dr Lichenwalter with saving my life.

Because my elderly mother's visit with Dr. Lichtenwalter was so brief, I gave him a low rating. He was not, however, rude or demeaning, as was his Nurse Practitioner. I will never take my mom back to that doctor's office again because of this evil-spirited woman. She was abusive and accusatory in her tone. Nobody who pays for treatment should be subjected to such uncaring attitudes or abuse, as in the case of the NP.

Because of a bad past experience with another doctor and some bad side effects from medication prescribed by that doctor, I was overly paranoid and full of anxiety when visiting Dr L. I was an absolute pain in the butt patient who was terrified of the potential heart issues I may have, the side effects of medication that I was on, and really pushed my limits with questions, concerns and downright paranoia. However, Dr L and his staff remained courteous and kind although I’m sure I didn’t deserve it, and I learned that I was acting very unreasonable. I now have faith and trust in this office and wouldn’t want anyone other than Dr L to care for me and my heart. I sincerely apologize to Dr L and his staff for my behavior. I just wanted to share my story and say that no matter your circumstances, be patient, have faith, relax, realize that he does see a lot of patients each day and put your trust in his hands and you will receive the best care and treatment that a cardiologist can offer.

This MD has you in and out of his office in 5 minutes, giving a patient a sense of receiving no concern. Too rushed for attention to your problems or health??!!

I was scheduled for a 7:30 am follow up appointment with the office for a limited Test. The office called me to give me the reminder and told me it was at 7:15. I then asked if I had to check in with the adjacent office when I came in. She said, “No, you can just come into our side.” So I showed up at 7:05 and sat in the waiting room until 7:30. I finally asked about my appointment from a staff member. She said I had to check in at the other adjacent office. I told her about about my phone con, and she pointed to the sign that said to check in at the other desk. They almost wrote me off as a no show. I just received my reminder for my follow up with the Doctor and I see I’m seeing a PA instead. As I have had limited dealings with this office, and these things have happened already, I will choose a different Doctor and office if I need to have further testing done. Finally, if a PA is being used, are they still charging my insurance at the Doctor’s rate?

Met Doctor for routine exam and he ordered subsequent test. I got a call to verify my procedure however I was unsure as to what facility the test would occur. I spent 3 hours on the phone leaving messages, waiting on phone for 15 minutes only to be told to leave another message. Obviously this doctor is overwhelmed and cannot handle his case load and his staff is a joke when it comes to customer service. They had better not bill me for their their incompetence as, again, I did not know where to go. I am 71 year old retired executive and it is incomprehensible that Doctor Lichtenwalter is unaware of this mismanagement occurring within his practice.

This review is long overdue for Mr. Chris Lictenwalter. I had some blocked veins in my leg (thigh) that Dr. Lictenwalter fixed for me over a year ago now and nearly two years at the time of this writing. To date I've had no reoccurring issues with the area he operated on. His professional demeanor, work ethic, and outstanding results make him a professional others can count on when needing relief form their circulartory aliments. I highly recommend Chris and will use his services again if I need

I really like Dr. Lichtenwalter's bedside manner. He listen's to all your concerns and seeks your input in your plan of care. I've been a patient of his for about 5 years and I have always had excellent care. I will admit at times the wait can be long. I understand in Cardiology emergencies happen and accept this.

I am very happy to be a patient with this group and am pleased with al the staff that have taken care of me with my problems. The only issue I have is with the billing department having continued problems taking care of payments with my insurance. Today I’m dealing with an old billing I thought was corrected. Again!

Dr. Lichtenwalter is outstanding! My husband and I both see him for different problems and we are both very pleased. He is caring, concerned and very intelligent. He takes the time to talk to you and neither of us have ever felt rushed. He explains things in a manner that is easy to understand. His staff is extremely pleasant and caring. We highly recommend Dr. Lichtenwalter.

Came in to get test results. Hardly any mention of 5 hours of testing done at your facilities. Appointment ended with I should see his partner who does ablation. I asked was my problem what he had assumed it was on my first visit, he had no idea what he had told me then, he had no chart, no laptop, I think he was winging it. I was the last patient on Friday morning. I still have no idea what my tests said.
