the doctor mentioned in the LOR that I have passed USMLE with over 90 percentiles, my scores are above 90 but I know that USMLE score is not a percentile score, should I ask him to edite the letter and remove the word percentile, or it's not a big deal.

I don't think it is such a big deal..... it is just a small error, nothing to worry about. It would be more complicated to ask him/her to change it plus you could probably offend him/her.

Technically, LOR should mention you as "drop-dead" gorgeous. Any shortcoming mentioned in the LOR can really hurt your application...and can hurt it more if it s from a top-shot.
That said, only you can exactly judge whether or not to use a LOR that mentions some shortcomings - coz you are the only person here who knows what exactly the letter says. I would suggest that you try to put yourself into a PD's position and then think about what would you make of somebody who has an lor like yours...
dicey situation, eh? yeah, but well..thats the way things are...goodluck!

If its very noticeable and bad DO NOT use the LOR...it will hurt you more then help you!!! remember this is merchandising you want to show only the good stuff to sell the product to the highest price!!!!
