Dr Lichten is very professional while also kind and patient. His 2 assistants, Edison and Derek were very kind and checking my comfort level. Always a good experience and outcome

Doctor Lichtenstein and his nurse Heather were friendly, welcoming and in tune with my needs. Dr Lichtenstein took his time and listened to my problems and took his time in explaining his thoughts and ideas he had for my diagnosis. I felt as if I was talking to a peer. I was part of the team, not just another patient.

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!
