Years ago, I was referred by Dr. Brian Mandel, Rheumatologist, to Dr. Lichtin. I have seen him since for other complaints...because I trust him and greatly appreciate his ability to explain complicated medical tests and terminolgies in an understandable manner. As an aside: Dr. Licthin personally escorted me from his office to the procedure area and made some suggestions about how to fill the wait time. He is also a genuinely nice guy.

Cleveland Clinic is absolutely great! You all take the time for patients and make them feel comfortable where as a lot of other places including where I'm from make you seem like you are taking up too much of their time.

Dr Lichtin was incredibly informative, personable, and professional. Our first contact was on the phone, and Dr Lichtin initiated my first blood tests remotely (we live in California), analyzed my blood chemisty, advised we meet with Dr Balderman regarding Chemotherapy and Bone Marrow Transplant procedures. He has kept in contact with me even now as I have begun chemo therapy here at Cleveland Clinic. I decided on being treated here based on my contact with Dr Lichtin, and his staff.Jim Schumacher
