Based on patient feedback. Read the reviews

Patients appreciated Dr. Joseph Lewis Licht for his professionalism, confidence, and ability to put them at ease about their medical procedures. They noted his thorough explanations, active listening, and the comfortable environment created both by him and St. Luke's supportive staff. Positive feedback frequently highlighted his diagnostic skills and the successful outcomes of surgeries, which reassured patients and enhanced their trust. On the downside, a few patients expressed concerns about administrative mishaps and instances of aloof behavior from certain staff members during appointments, which slightly detracted from the overall positive experience.
