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.
Dr. Lefkowitz is an excellent mohls specialist as well as repair. He did a fabulous job on my lip cancer and I recommend him highly. Do not hesitate to have him do your procedure. Highly professional.

Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Lefkowitz?
Had three Moh's procedures with Dr. all three was not told to stop taking 82mg aspirin. On last procedure took my medications with 82 mg aspirin less than half hour before procedure. This resulted in 40 minutes of plastic surgeon cauterizing blood vesicles. developed hematomas and infection that took about 2 months to clear up. All this time I was wearing bandage on left side of face. The only good thing about process is that area healed quite well without need for graft.

I had a 9AM appointment for MOHs surgery with Doctor Lefkowitz by 9:45 AM the doctor had still not arrived at the office to start with his scheduled appointments. His staff while polite were unhelpful in explaining why the doctor had not started on time. I left without having my surgery performed. I lost my trust in a doctor that had so little respect for my time. The waiting room was also very small and crowded with people. It was not a place to comfortably wait during a long MOHs procedure.
