I just switched from a doctor that was not kind to Dr. Forleiter. What a difference! Melissa the office manager was helpful on getting the appointment and my records from my former surgeon.. Taylor, the PA is amazing and answered all my questions very clearly. Dr. Forleiter is so kind and funny. My husband and I were at ease right away. By the time the appointment was over I had a very clear plan of the steps for reconstruction. I left that appointment feeling so good about my decision to switch to Dr. Forleiter. I have more hope and feel so much more heard and cared about.

Dr. Lickstein and his staff are the ultimate. The best team. Friendly, professional. I love coming for my follow ups. Dr. Licksteins work is exceptional. The very best surgeon you will have. Genuine, caring and the follow up care is unlike anything you will ever experience.

I had a breast lift about 7 weeks ago and I am beyond happy that I chose Dr Forleighter. He exceeded every expectation and the results are amazing. I was always nervous about scarring. But even the scars look incredible for being less than 2 months post op. I didn’t realize how much of a confidence boost the surgery would be and I am so grateful to Dr Forleighter and his amazing team.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Lickstein for my breast augmentation revision. After a previous surgeon in Boca completely botched my initial surgery in 2023, I was nervous about correcting it. Dr. Lickstein did a phenomenal job on the revision and gave me exactly what I asked for. I am coming up on one year post op and am so incredibly grateful for his expertise and care.

I had such an amazing experience at Lickstein Plastic Surgery, they treated me as if I was family. Crystal was absolutely fantastic answering every question I asked, Dr. Lickstein was exceptional through the entire surgery process from start to finish, and the entire rest of the staff were amazing as well. I am thankful I trusted my gut and went to David Lickstein, and now am even more thankful to have this practice to continue to go back to. Couldn’t have asked for more!
