I just went in for my regular cleaning yesterday and was warmly greeted by Robin and Justina. Their friendly smiles and cheerful attitude had me feeling good prior to sitting down in the chair with not a care in the world. Xochi took things over from there and did her usual outstanding job in the cleaning and maintenance of my aging yet still serviceable choppers. Yes, all was right with the world and I departed feeling happier and better than when I came in. Thank you team Lichter and keep up the great work! read more

He will clearly explain what needs to be done, will recommend the necessary procedures only. He has the best staff that is helpful, efficient, and very friendly. Dr. Lichter is very thorough, and detail oriented. Insurance coverage, can be very confusing, They are always there to help. They will call on your behalf without hesitation. Explain and provide guidance as needed. Clinic is very clean. Short wait time. Office is closed on Fridays, weekends.

I was unsatisfied with my current dentist, and consulted (surprise!) Yelp for a dentist nearby. Several five star reviews came up, and I decided to trust Dr. Lichter for my dental care needs. My initial visit was nothing less than extraordinary. Numerous X-rays were taken for review by Dr. Lichter. My next stop was with a technician who performed an excellent cleaning and also offered some advice about brushing, after noticing that I am a frequent flosser. Then the exam by Dr. Lichter. After reviewing my X-rays and examining my teeth, he determined that I have no obvious cavities or aother dental issues, but recommended a close watch on several teeth. Dr. Lichter and his staff were very professional and courteous, and I felt very well served by them. My insurance, however, did not completely cover the claims and for the first time ever, I was required to pay for my exam and cleaning. It was not a significant amount, but compared to zero, it is. I'm thinking it was due to the comprehensive first exam and X-rays. Perhaps my next visit will be completely covered. read more

I feel so lucky to have found Dr. Lichter and his amazing staff. The dental hygienist is gentle, thorough, and makes suggestions for care of your teeth and gums. The front office staff are exceedingly competent, conscientious, and personable - it always lifts my spirit just talking to them. And Dr. Lichter is skilled, patient, and gentle. Bonus: They see you at your scheduled time, don't try to upsell you on dental services, and understand prioritizing care if you're on a budget. I give them my highest recommendation! read more

1st time here today. Good start. From the lovely ladies out front to the crew in the back. Sochi is very good hygienist. Will be back.

From the time you check-in to having your teeth teeth cleaned to the dentist checking you before you leave everyone is courteous, professional, and knows what they are doing. They continue to ensure procedures from general Teeth Cleaning to other more major procedures are done with patience and are pain free and relaxing read more

My family has been with Dr lecter for about 4 years. He has essentially saved my teeth even though I keep telling him I want false teeth! He has done a remarkable job. His staff is always pleasant and will work with you on appointments. I have to give a shout out to the two ladies that work the front desk. They are awesome and extremely friendly. They have worked with me on monthly payments when I haven't been able to afford the full amount of my bill. I am so grateful for their assistance. The offices are clean, everyone has a positive nature about them and the work is perfection. Dr lichter would not have any less than perfection. Thank you to everyone for being a great team to my family. read more

Dr Derek Lichter is and has always very helpful, concerned and patient with me. I have been going to him for years and even after I moved overseas and when I returned I continued with him, since I never found a more attentive dentist. Never pushes procedures that are not needed, always uses care in the injections with my needle phobia. All his office staff, hygienist and assistance are the kindest and helpful to no end. Highly recommend him and office. read more

Dr. Lechter and his office are probably one of the most professional offices I've ever been in. Pleasant, cordial and willing to work with you. I've been going to him for many years and I would give him a five star rating and high marks for his service, especially his staff. read more

Everything went as hoped and expected, as usual. I will return for my cleaning in March.

Very courteous front desk. Everyone from the hygienist to Doctor Lichter himself were great. The appointment was on time.

In general I have a fear of dentist. But the Doctor has the touch and is understanding of me as a unique situation. Great dentist and friendly caring staff! read more

Wonderful staff and great dentist. Warm environment and modern equipment. There is no need for me to look for another dentist.

Dr LICHTER has been providing me excellent dental care for 40 years. My latest visit for two crowns was excellent. I've never experienced pain, swelling or excess discomfort. He and his staff have enabled me to retain all of my teeth which weren't in great shape before I started receiving their dental care. read more

I have been going to Dr. Lichter's office for just under 1 year now and feel I can give a good honest review. Background: Like many folks the dentist can be an intimidating experience and in the past, I have had less than pleasant ones. With past dentists Crowns have fallen out repeatedly only days after being being put in, failed root canals, a crown seperating from the tooth, etc. After a failed root canal a couple years ago I decided to go out and do my own research on a highly rated Endodontist to do the root canal retreat. I'm glad I did my own research instead of going to the first one offered because it was a great experience and 2 years post that retreatment it is holding strong. Now I believe good dental providers follow good dental providers and I asked that Endodontist office what DDS dental offices they recommend. One of their two recommendations was Dr. Lichter's office. Research and booking a cleaning: I did my own research this time after the recommendation and his office had glowing reviews on Yelp and Google. It is hard to find anything, let along a dental office, with a perfect 5.0 rating. I called and after a great phone discussion in early 2024 decided to setup a cleaning. I did and it was a great experience. Everyone was very welcome, friendly, and professional. Beyond that I found Dr. Lichter to be experienced, friendly, professional, and has a great sense of humor. Now Dr. Lichter's office is out of network for me but thankfully my dental insurance covers out of network dentists, just at a slightly higher out of pocket cost. I can't stress enough that after the dental experiences I have had in the past I'm fine paying a little more but having the work done right. Dental experiences: I can't stress how great everyone is at Dr. Lichter's office. From the front office staff to dental hygenists everyone is friendly, fun, prompt, and professional. I have needed a lot of work done including multiple crowns. Everytime everything has gone smoothly. No crowns falling out like they did in the past, crowns aren't too close so I can't floss and not too spaced apart so food continually gets trapped inbetween like it had been from other dentists in the past. Note they are clear every tooth is unique and you never know how it'll react - which I appreciate. Beyond that their office is straight forward with me. Dr. Lichter tells me exactly what he recommends, gives me options both short term and long term, and looks out to ensure I'm not overspending. There is no "upselling" here like with other dental offices saying you need this extra cleaning or that extra thing. They're straight forward and honest. I can now say I have found my prefered dental office and fully recommend Dr. Lichter and his team to anyone in need of a DDS. They are open Monday through Thursday, closed Friday through Sunday. Office has its own small parking lot with 7 spots or so they share with one other unaffiliated office and there is free 2 hour street parking in front. read more

Great dentist and staff Have been going there for 30+ years Very efficient and caring read more

Great staff, great care, great service. Dr.Lichter is truly a wonderful dentist. Every visit exceeds my expectations.

Everytime I go here they remind me that their clinic is not here for business, but for patient experience. The whole team are awesome! They even offer me a headphone to listen to my playlist while they're doing my crown. I like how they educate me about my teeth and answering all my questions (even my silly questions). They are very professional and work above and beyond expectation. You guys are rockstars! read more

Dentist is just a money grab. Every visit is an upsell. Do not recommend and will not be returning here.

I have had lots of dental work with a variety of dentists in my 71 years. My daughter has been going to Dr Lichter for years and recommended him to me. If you are looking for old fashioned, compassionate dental care in a small office, this is the place for you. Entering the office you are greeted warmly by the receptionist. Even though I was new to them, I immediately felt very welcome. They treated all patients with this warmth. This staff was professional and took obvious pride in their work. The size of the small office does not keep them from using all modern technologies. It is obvious Dr Lichter sets the highest standards of dental care for himself and his staff and leads by example of how he treats his patients. This office is a gem. read more
