Jonathan M Licht, MD

My partner Scott has been with Dr. Licht for over 10 years. My partner was diagnosed with spinal meningitis and short after had a stroke and seizures. Its been a struggle to find the right meds for him cause he had uncontrollable muscle spasms that leaded up to seizures all the time. The medications worked for awhile but had to keep changing his drug cocktail due to the fact the medication always kept him sleeping and wasnt able to do alot of normal everyday things. Scott also had a frozen shoulder and is unable to move his right arm or lift it over his head. The muscles tighten which causes the muscle spasms which causes the seizures. He treated scott with Botox injection to loosen the muscles the last 3 years and now he doesn’t need the injections no longer. His seizures have also been reduced to the recommendation of having Scott have a Baclofen Pump installed 2 years ago and spasms have gone away to pretty much nothing. Before Scott was taking Tizanadine 4mg 3x daily along with clonazepam 1mg 4x daily and lorazapam. Now with the pump hes not all drugged up from the medication that was needed to hardly no medication at all. Dr. Licht was always available for me to help with Scott anytime of day 24 hours a day. If he wasnt available to, thank god for Melinda cause she was always able to get me in to see Dr. Licht. No matter how busy she gets shes always there to help you and treat you with the greatest of respect and compassion. I dont know what i would do if i ever lost them. Their the BEST!

I am a relatively new patient of Dr. Licht and have been completely satisfied with his care as well as the experience at his office. He is a patient doctor and listened to my concerns and came up with a good strategy to help manage my condition that I think will work. Melinda — his office manager in addition to being nice was particular helpful in dealing with my insurance and getting my medications covered! 2 thumbs up!

I was recently diagnosed with epilepsy and that was a tough pill to swallow. I believe Dr. Licht is a good doctor and knows his medicine but he is terrible when it come to communicating with patience. I have no idea how hard it must be to tell someone bad news especially when related to their health. But in speaking with him… it’s hard to get a straight answer or any information other than what test he’s sending me to get or what other specialist I need to see.
The office personnel is awesome. I have NO idea what the other reviewers are complaining about when it comes to the staff, especially Melinda! She is one of the most understanding, patient and kindest people you could ever want assisting you.
I came out of the Dr.‘s office in shock and numb on several occasions and Melinda was there to console me and offer reassurance. She is beyond courteous and is the only reason I have’t left yet. She alone has helped me navigate through this process & I am for one grateful to have her as my guardian angel.

It seems this office was only here to transfer me to MRIs. Licht didn’t seem to care much about the small tests he did on me and brushed off my condition because of my age. I’ve put up with a lot of doctors that underestimated my past health conditions because of my age and had to deal with serious emergency situations later on because the doctors felt my age ruled out the situations, because I was young «there could be nothing wrong with me». Dr. Licht is now added onto that list of disrespectful doctors. I do not recommend this place to anyone seeking a neurologist. It’s not a place that cares about its service or its patients.

I can’t even say Dr. Licht deserves one star. I was more than disappointed with my first and last visit. As I was sitting in his office as he was taking my personal patient history notes, his phone rang and he took a personal phone call right there. Never once did he excuse himself during the 10 minute call, or apologize afterwards. Very unprofessional. When I asked a question about my brain MRI, he rudely snapped back at me. He then processed to do what was supposed to be a neurological evaluation, which consisted of testing my reflexes over my hard zippered shoes on my ankles. How does one even test a reflex over hard shoes? I felt like I got the bums rush. He ordered a test, which the front office was to get back to me about once they spoke to my insurance. I have called Melinda twice to get these much needed tests scheduled, and she argued with me that she didn’t even have doctors orders for this test, insisting the doctor never even wrote the test order form. Very unorganized and rude. I will not be returning as a patient here.

If I could give ¼ of a star — I would. Dr. Licht is nice enough, kind of disorganized office but seemed thoughtful. But… I can not get past the unbelievable rudeness of his staff. Melinda I think that is her name has to be the most incompetent, rude person to run a doctors office ever. She never followed through with my treatment, didn’t call me back. When I did call to ask a question or to get a prescription refill she made it really clear I was bothering her! She was actually sighing on the phone!
When I asked for my medical records she made me come back on a Wednesday (even though I had an appointment with another doctor on the prior Tuesday) I had only been there twice, it wasn’t like there was a lot to make a copy of. When you are not feeling well the last thing you need is someone like her beating you down.
Unbelievable experience.

I had a similarly bad experience. After several weeks of trying to get ahold test results, I eventually had to call my primary physician to have him get them. Turned out Dr Licht had written down my comments from our initial visit completely wrong. I don’t know whether the fault lies entirely with the staff or both the staff and doctors but I would never recommend this office.

one of the worst experiences one could imagine, starting with difficulty making an appointment. No call backs, excuses why there were no call backs and no apologies. The office staff qualifies for what I consider «extremely unfriendly and unhelpful». When I finally got an appointment I was advised by the doctor to get further testing, which I completed. Again, no follow up no call backs. I left two messages. When I finally did reach someone the office informed me that there were «findings» in my test but they couldn’t tell me anything else because the doctor needed to speak with me. I didn’t hear from him for another week.
When I was finally able to schedule the follow up appointment the doctor had no idea who I was or what my problem was. He sat and advised me for 15 minutes before I realized he thought I suffered from nerve pain. When I stated «Im not here for nerve pain» he then thumbed through the file that was sitting right in front of him (yes, the same file that he himself wrote notes in after my first appointment with him) and literally could not find in it what the problem was, which he then asked me to remind him.
THE most disorganized office I have ever been to. I walked out. Ever walk out of a doctor’s office before? First time for me.
