This was my first time seeing a cardiologist. (Was referred to him by my primary doctor) The appointment took maybe two minutes with Dr. Lichtenwalter. He rushed my appointment and told me to take some aspirin and to go get my Covid-19 vaccine and MAYBE I will feel better. Three and a half months after having Covid-19, still having persistent chest pains, one would think a doctor would want to figure out why exactly chest pain is still occurring rather than just saying “you’ll be fine it’s just a lingering symptom...” especially when a primary doctor refers their patient. (My doctor has helped with every other lingering symptom so he wouldn’t just refer me to see a cardiologist for no reason). I left my appointment so upset and frustrated because of how careless Dr. Lichtenwalter was especially with a new patient.

Dr. Lichtenwalter has been really good to me so far, even went as far, as correcting his diagnosis when the results came back from Tests. Very Good Doctor. But in his defense, all he had to work with was the results from my Heart attack, before he was my Doctor.

A caring doctor who looks into his patients eyes and listens to what they have to say.

Dr L is the best, Ive been going to him for over 3 years. And recently my wife started seeing him, and now my sister will start seeing him. This Dr is more than 5 stars. To all the nay sayers, yes he does listen to you. You need to remember, hes there to do a job. And has other patients he needs to see, he doesnt have time to hear about your vacation in the bahamas. If you have questions, write them down, and when you see him. Hell answer them, and address those concerns. I know hes busy when i see him, thats why i have my questions written down beforehand. I want him to get to his next patient ASAP, because your condition may be worse, and i dont want to keep you waiting. Ive referred my wife, and now my sister to Dr L, and Ill keep the referrals coming. Yes, he has operated on me numerous times for numerous blockages. Thanks Dr L

Dr. Lichtenwalter is top notch! Great Dr. great mannerism, knows his stuff! Thank you Dr. Lichtenwalter for all you have done for my Husband and myself! you are the best

Office staff is really nice.Dr Lichtenwalter on the other hand, is in a hurry and doesnt take the time to ask questions or to find what is really going on. He is talking to you on the way out while you sit waiting for answer. Would not recommend find sometime who really cares for his Patients. And has time to properly diagnose you.☹

Dr. Christopher Lichtenwalter has been my heart Dr since 2014 feel he give me wonderful care always takes the time to answer questions. Have been with CAI practice since 2013. All staff wonderful from office, nurses and Necular lab Thank you all very much for always making appointsments a comfortable experience even on my worst day! Have a fantastic team!

No his bedside manner Is horrible.he likes to hear himself talk .and the staff is horrible .

This Dr doesn’t take his time with you and rushes patients through. He didn’t listen to anything I said and just wanted to hear himself talk. I don’t recommend this dr. His office is a meat packing plant. Don’t go

My husband was a pt of Dr. L. up until today and thinks very highly of him. Unfortunately due to his staff we will no longer be his pt. When making an appt with his staff a few months back they scheduled us for a 7am appt @ one of his locations only to find out that location didnt open til 8am not cool. After a stent was put in by Dr L we had a follow up with another member of his team because he wasnt available at the location closest to us. So the lady we saw was really quite out of the loop he had just had his procedure the week prior and she had his chart with his info yet still seemed upset because we didnt remember 2 of the new meds Dr L had prescribed for him. I asked if it was noted in the chart since he wrote the Rx. Her response was its your job to know. Rude. But okay we get it, we should know, but he did Rx it so it should also be written down right? I mean Im pretty sure he just doesnt prescribe meds and not document it. The lady then said Dr L would like to put a Holter on him but then after taking the survey Qs&As about how he felt told us we were in the clear to leave. (Even when my hubby told her the chest pain was still there we were told to go the hospital if it gets worse) I asked again thats all and she followed us out to the front desk and told the girl we were ok to leave. Now present time. Hubby needed his Rx refilled. Pharmacy said its denied. So I called cardio office and was told it was because he failed to get the holter done so his meds were not gonna be renewed. Ok. But we asked the girl at the desk at the time of that last appt if we needed to make any more appts and the PA and the girl said No we are ok to leave. But it is what it is. So We made the appt and the lady refilled for 1month the Rx we needed. My husband is in construction so he has to give notice for time off.We made the appointments for Tue for the holter and Thurs for the follow-up. Monday at noon the day before his appointment we got a call and was told the time just wasnt gonna work for them. Really 1 day before his appt? But we rescheduled the holter Thursday and follow up on Monday.Monday morning now. Got a call from a very rude lady from their office. Was told since the holter monitor wasnt returned we cant have his appt today. I asked her why? Since we were told we could bring back the holter today. She then got really sarcastic and replied that I wasnt told that uhm first of all this person was not in the room when we had the appt.(so unless you the nurse you shouldnt be assuming or implying one is a liar.) I then told her this was not the first time they have called to reschedule and cancel his appt at the last minute and we have been accommodating and it was unacceptable. I asked to speak to an office manager and was put on hold. After being on hold for a few mins a lady picked back up and said he can keep his appointment but he wont get his results. It depends on how late the IT guy is here and if he can fix it? Fix what? I am confused!! Whats the real story? I asked her if she was the office manager. Was told no. I then asked her why was I still speaking with her if I asked to speak with someone in charge. I was then transferred to the sound of a dial tone. Called back again. Spoke with someone and again was transferred to a dial tone. Tried 1 more time and the same. Called the 4th and last time told the person who I was, why I was calling and told them how I keep getting disconnected when asked to speak with a supervisor and that my hubby will return the holter and we will be finding a new cardiologist. Their response ok. So we will not be doing business with them anymore.If thats how they choose to allow their staff to treat patients then thats their right. But by all means I will find somewhere else to take my business. I thought I was dealing with a professional practice not one being runned by unprofessional elementary children. When staff hangs up on patients that want to complain it just shows that the girls in the office are pretty petty and unprofessional.

Great Dr
