I continue to have a great experience with Dr. Lichten. His expertise and understanding of my neck and shoulder issues give me a lot of confidence in my treatment plan. I’ve already had several procedures and am feeling much better, with more scheduled as I continue toward recovery. I truly trust his knowledge and care.

I went to Performance Spine to address my chronic conditions, cervical spine spondylosis and stenosis at different levels of cervical spine, radiculopathy, osteoarthritis , facet joint arthropathy,among others.
I was fortunate to meet and schedule Dr Lichten who started cervical nerve blocks within a week of referral. Dr. Lichten and his team are amazing. I got prepared and positioned with comfort and care.
His expert hands injected me almost without me feeling any pain, I attest. The only pain I had was the one that I walked in with and left to my surprise feeling relief.
He is precise, experienced, lighthearted and such a delightful physician to work with. I'm grateful and looking forward to my RAF nerve ablation for long-lasting results.
I got this procedure done 6 times at Penn Medicine with no successful outcome. They have a total different approach which is not customized. DR LICHTEN IS IT!
