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.

Not attentive to details. Not affiliated with any hospital so every time you need a blood test or xray or something, must go elsewhere. No parking. No house calls for the price of the concierge doctor.

Excellent diagnostician.
Dr. Lickerman does something that other doctor's offices do not do. When you are with him as his patient, his focus is solely on you. He takes time, he asks good questions, he listens. He does not recommend unnecessary tests or procedures. His experience gives me confidence.

I have already recommended Dr.Lickerman to others. After 3 weeks, three doctors, and no diagnosis, Dr. Lickerman took the time to deeply analyze my complex condition and to create a plan of action. What a relief!

Alex has my admiration, respect, and complete trust. Given my medical history, I could never have imagined making that statement. For far too many years, I was at the mercy of serious, unrelenting hypochondria. As a result, for portions of several decades, I have little or no memory of much of anything, so consumed was I of health fears and imagined illnesses. With Alex, I've found an internal quiet about my health. I am completely comfortable under his thoughtful, empathetic eye.

My husband and I both see Dr. Lickerman and we feel incredibly blessed to have him as our Doctor. After struggling with a serious health issue for years, I have seen my fair share of doctors, but have never before encountered a doctor like Dr. Lickerman. He is genuinely empathetic and really kind. Each time I've been in he has taken the time to patiently listen which truly means so much and is beyond rare in today's culture.

After 3 months of a medical nightmare in trying to get a back problem diagnosed, I found Alex Lickerman thru a friend, signed up with Imagine MD and my medical/health situation has improved dramatically. He diagnosed a back problem that two other speciailists missed completely. He spent two hours and 15 minutes with me on my first visit. This is the way primary care medicine ought to be practiced but mostly isn't.

I LOVE DR. LICKERMAN. HE IS THE MOST PATIENT, COMPASSIONATE AND CARING DOCTOR THAT MYSELF AND MY HUSBAND HAVE EVER HAD. HE TREATS BOTH OF US WITH GREAT DIGNITY AND RESPECT. I ESPECIALLY APPRECIATE HIS INTERACTIONS WITH MY HUSBAND AS MY HUSBAND IS IN HIS 70S AND DEALING WITH SENIOR PATIENTS CAN SOMETIMES BE CHALLENGING BUT DR. LICKERMAN HANDLES MY HUSBANDS CONCERNS WITH THE KINDNESS AND TENDERNESS OF A PARENT.

Dr. Lickerman’s understanding, wisdom, pragmatism and manner are all exceptional. His knowledge is encyclopedic. He makes connections between specific conditions and lifestyle issues that have made me healthier for the long term. I feel lucky and relieved to be in the care of a physician who engenders trust by caring intensely for my wellbeing, and by being available 24/7/365. Dr. Lickerman has my highest recommendation and my highest regard.

Dr. Lickerman is an amazing doctor! He is caring, super competent, knows his stuff and makes me feel heard as the patient. I recommend him as a physician to anyone, and am excited by his new practice ImagineMD. It's such a different approach to how a patient communicates with their doctor, I get more time and am able to review all my health concerns and have them addressed immediately.
