Dr Licht is an amazing Dr. I had elbow surgery 9 weeks ago and I have 0 pain now! You can hardly see the scar. Her and her staff does outstanding work!
I was extremely surprised and happy with Heather's professional work and I was surprised with the very little cutting of the skin on my hand, I think she's an exceptional doctor and it's been a pleasure to be patient.
