Lee M. Lichtenstein, DMD, PA

I just had two root canals and a absess "taken care" of my this nutjob and his staff. Money hungry. He knew I had no health coverage and did not show once once of respect for my financial situation. I came in to address two specific issues and he insisted on taking 600 dollars worth of unneeded xrays. He asked me if I've gained weight from a slew of medications I am on. He then proceeds to tell me that he cannot schedule me to DRAIN AN ABSESS which can be life threatening until I book a second consult with him because he wants me to get thousands of dollars of work done on my mouth. He is the most conceited, condescending "doctor" I have ever dealt with in my life. Upon telling him my fears he simply says oh you'll live. I tell him I'm in agony call his service on the weekend to try and get seen sooner by this man because he came to me recommended from a doctor that I actually do trust. He proceeds to tell me to DRAIN MY OWN ABSESS that I've unconvinced him enough by having him move his account and his wife off the schedule for that day. What doctor who is in thier right kind tells A patient to #1 walk around with a absess for a week #2 prescribes you obsene amounts of antibiotics including one you are allergic too which you can go into ansphaxis from and tells you oh you don't know if your REALLY allergic so let's try it! #3 tells you that he knows your in agony but too bad that you should deal with it and DRAIN IT YOURSELF!!! The staff actually tried to have me book my second consult AS I WAS STILL DRUGGED UP UNDER SEDATION YESTERDAY THEY HAVE CALLED ME TWICE IN THE PAST 24 hours to try and pressure me into booking another session. I usually don't trash doctors but this man is a total money hungry nut who only sees you as a walking dollar sign in fact the only way he can exist as a doctor is that he works with UNCONCIOUS PEOPLE. I will never ever ever set foot in his practice again. He disgusts me.

I feel compelled to write this. I made this appt with Dr. Lee Lichtenstein because my daughter's own wonderful dentist had his brochure. I have fears regarding the drill in dentistry. I had a tooth with pain, and went in to have xrays done and to consider "sedation" for the work I would need.

WORST DENTAL EXPERIENCE OF MY ENTIRE LIFE. The office is dirty and Dr. Lichtenstein is the weirdest and most insulting dentist I have ever met. I should have walked out. Among taking 3 hours to photograph every tooth, and having to listen to his boring monologues, I also was told not to bleach my teeth anymore as they were too white for my age. Also, I was told that he "knew" I had gum rot because "he could smell it." This is very insulting behavior when you are feeling vulnerable. I would rather have my teeth rot out of my head, than be sedated by this nut. Run away.
