Edward Joseph Licitra, MD

I know some doctors can appear to be arrogant. That seems to go with the territory. But Dr. Licitra gives new meaning to the word. Endless non answered phone calls. Endless questions gone unanswered. That was Dr Licitra throughout my husband's treatment. I'm sorry I ever used him. He would do his rounds at 5:30 in the morning to avoid the family. In order to catch him I had to get up at 4 AM to run to the hospital to squeeze in 30 seconds of dialogue with the doctor. He made my husband's last days so difficult for me that I still cry over it! Please don't use this doctor or this practice. Find a responsive caring doctor by asking friends and neighbors. Don't go to his doctor and, in fact, all the other doctors in Dr Nussbaum's offices. Please believe me you will thank me. Oh wait, one more thing. They sent me a bill one week after my husband died. I was grief ridden and I paid it. I later found out that the services they billed me for were already paid through his… insurance company. I never even got a condolence call from the doctor. In fact, since he wasn't there at my husband's time of death I never saw or heard from Dr Licitra again

Unfortunately I would not recommend Dr. Licitra. At first I was optimistic because he took time to explain everything and seemed to have genuine concern for my loved one's health. As time elapsed he because increasingly unresponsive and failed to order tests which would have shown much sooner that the treatment plan was not working. I regret selecting Dr. Licitra, as I trusted him with my loved one's life (very slow-growing cancer, few metastatic sites), and he deteriorated quite quickly under his care (or lack thereof).

I can only report on my own experiences with Dr Edward Licitra. I found him to be the most nonresponsive doctor I have ever, ever met. He would never call me back and he wouldn't answer my phone messages in the office. For an oncology doctor this is unimaginable because the family is suffering along with the patient. As it was my dear wife died under his "care" or lack thereof. I wouldn'trecommend Dr. Licitra to anyone, not to my worst enemy! He is very insincere and he's not a good doctor and I wouldn't recommend him or his group to anybody.
