Dr. Lifchez, is everything a patient would want from their care provider, he's knowledgeable, answers questions, and more importantly listens to what you have to say. I only wish I found him sooner, he performed surgery on both of my hands and corrected a prior doctor's mishap. I highly recommend Dr. Lifchez as a care provider.
