I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding care I received from Dr. Jonathan B. Ticker, the entire surgical team, and the office medical staff who work closely with him — Anne Marie Lamneck, PA, Laura Brady, and Kaylan Dimodugno. From my very first consultation through my post-operative recovery, the entire experience was seamless, reassuring, and made even better by having the same team consistently involved in my care. A special shout-out to Denise Katsaros, his surgical coordinator. She is professional, patient, and supportive while handling all my questions and concerns. The office team was consistently professional, friendly, and efficient. Scheduling was easy, wait times were minimal, and they were always helpful when answering my questions about appointments and the overall process. I felt valued and well-informed every step of the way — never like a number. Dr. Ticker is an exceptionally talented, skilled, and compassionate surgeon. He explained my condition and the surgical procedure in clear, understandable terms, ensuring I fully understood my options and the recovery process. His expertise and attentive bedside manner instilled a strong sense of calm and trust, which meant a great deal to me going into major surgery. The surgical team — Dr. Flaum, Anne Marie Lamneck, PA, and the nurses — were also fantastic. Their coordination and professionalism in the operating room and during recovery made me feel safe and comfortable. The level of excellence in their care and attention to detail was truly top-notch. Thanks to this wonderful team, my recovery has been smooth. I am no longer feeling the pre-surgical pain — only normal post-surgical discomfort, which is expected — and I am already feeling so much better. I highly recommend Dr. Ticker and the entire staff to anyone in need of exceptional surgical care. He is not only a highly skilled surgeon but also an expert, scholar, and author. The whole team truly puts patients first and works together with dedication and compassion. Having worked in the medical field myself, I can confidently say I will recommend him to everyone. Thank you all for everything you do!"
