I went to Dr. Lichter for a cavity that was hurting me. He soon realized that I needed a root canal, so he put a temporary filling in. After the temp filling, the pain got worse, I called the office and they said it was normal. I asked for antibiotics for a second time and they told me "they weren't necessary". I sat in excruciating pain for 2 days and then went to a R.C. specialist only to be told that my tooth was so infected it needed to be removed. Lichter's office wrote me a referral to an oral surgeon, where I waited in line for 3 hrs to be told they don't accept my insurance. I then drove all over bklyn looking for an oral surgeon, who took the insurance, and Lichter's office didn't even offer to help locate one for me, and they didn't apologize for their mistake. They are completely incompetent, and as a result I lost 3 days pay, sat in horrible pain and had to have a molar tooth pulled out. I'm only 25, and I don't have the $5,000 it will cost for an implant....lovely. Save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else.

I know this doctor: 3 months
