Dr. Lighty was very knowledgeable. He seems to be well versed in many different areas. I have been searching for a doctor with true knowledge of his expertise. I was surprised by his ability to track the history of each nationality to explain why certain illnesses occur today. My appointment was very interesting and very thorough. His assistant was very helpful also.
Verified patient
I thought the office was very friendly & professional. I had no clue of where I was going, but the nurse was very polite to me when I called 4 different times for directions. Dr Lighty was very thorough.
Verified patient
This is the first time I ever saw a Doctor and did not feel rushed. This Doctor took his time and explained things and gave a complete examination, all of this and it was on a Saturday.This is the way it is supposed to be and should be, when you see a Doctor.
Verified patient
Really nice and smart guy who cares about fixing you up right away. A father-figure type who has a ton of experience and makes you feel at ease immediately.
Needed to find a new physician due to insurance reasons. Found Dr. Lightly very knowledgable with a very nice personality. He spend over an hour assessing me as new patient and shed some new light on old problems. I would recommend him for new patients. His cardiac background is very useful since he doubles as cardiologist and internist.
Thank you so much. Very professional and friendly
Verified patient
I was impressed with Dr. Lighty's knowledge and skill, and the time spent and thoroughness of his approach to getting a full medical history. He is one of the better doctors I have seen in terms of answering questions and providing explanations. I am new to the area and found him rather randomly on ZocDoc, and I will be using him as my primary care physician.
