Overall, my son's experience with Dr Lifschitz was positive -- at least during the office visits. He takes his time, asks a lot of questions, and seems to be quite thorough. However...if you want to follow up with him on any topics after you leave the office, you must be a very patient patient! He's not very up-to-date technologically (e.g., no Fax capability, so you can't have previous records or prescription info Faxed, and no email/Web site options). He will call personally with lab results, etc, but you have to be available in the very narrow time window when he makes his calls, which can lead to extended phone tag. On several occasions, I found his staff to be quite rude over the phone. They seem to be irritated that you are calling, they don't volunteer their name, and in one case, I was interrupted 3 times, then hung up on. I eventually changed doctors due to the inconvenience and unfriendly staff.
Pros: He's attentive...once you get into the exam room.
Cons: Very low-tech (no Fax) and rude staff
