Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Best ever
Dr. Licata was amazing. I was so nervous to get my appendix out I had never had surgery before and she held my hand as I was getting put to sleep. She calmed me down and was just the sweetest doctor I have ever had. Thank you Dr. Licata for being there for me in my time of need. I appreciate you so much and I will never forget you.

Apology
I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to Dr. Licata for my previous review of her treatment. I have been in a great deal of pain for a long time, and was not myself. I now realize that she was doing her best to help me. She recommended a surgeon that could not see me until November of this year and my pain level would not permit me to wait that long .

Dr. Licata has been a fantastically caring and excellent surgeon. I worked for 31 years in the health care field and seldom have I experienced such concern for the patient. I felt at ease at our first encounter. She explained the procedure and everything was done in the most professional manner. Thank you Dr. Licata

Dr. Licata is simply amazing. Hands down the best surgeon I have ever had and could not imagine having a better experience. Dr. Licata is thoughtful and caring. She explains all of your options and clearly has your best interests at heart. I was able to heal quickly with almost no scarring at all. I would highly recommend her to anyone. As far as surgeons go, she is the best.

Dr. Licata is outstanding. She was brought in to see me in the hospital when i was very sick and she was unbelievably caring and sympathetic. She has a gentle touch accompanied with a warm caring heart. I have since been following up with her in the office and I am extremely happy. If anyone has the opportunity to need to choose a surgeon then she is your pick. She's a breath of fresh air in the medical field. Also need to rave about the office staff, each and everyone of them are great.

I saw Dr. Licata with regards to removing a lipoma behind my right ear. Her sincerity and willingness to help was very apparent. I had two attempts that were not successful by a plastic surgeon. The job he did was incomplete. She listened, showed me respect, and scheduled my surgery rapidly. She is a highly skilled surgeon. I am thankful that I found her.
