John Bickerton's Online Review Report Card

I have always been treated in a friendly, professional manner. Dr. B is a good listener and is open to all my questions.

I found him rude and unhelpful with my health issues. In fact, he was downright dismissive and offered no follow up. He was aggravated with the VA’s request for a simple form, which he had me make 2 appointments for, only to state the VA doesn’t do a good job of taking care of veterans and he spends too much completing paperwork. So after wasting my time on 2 appointments I still don’t have the completed form. I am seeking another provider.

I have been seeing Dr. Bickerton for my complex medical issues for over 8 years. I have always found him to be knowledgeable and attentive when i have presented with a problem. In spite of the time consuming, seemingly unnecessary requirement for filling out government required minutiae, Dr. Bickerton has always given the medical reason for my office visit the time required to address my problem, listen to my input, propose a course of action and address any of my lingering questions. I have full confidence in his ability to treat all of my medical issues.

Dr Bickerton has been my doctor for over 20 years. He is a doctor that cares about your health and wants to put together a plan that works for his patients. Those who don’t hear what they want so they leave bad reviews should be ashamed of themselves. Dr Bickerton has always gave me straight forward honesty about my health care. And thanks to that he save my life by locating a heart condition that would have killed me. Thanks to him the problem was found and with surgery repaired.

Absolute horrible experience with this Dr. He left the room twice to take a phone call. A simple visit took almost 2 hours. The one question I had for him he cut me off and said let's finish the questionnaire first. Well my question never got answered. By the time he came back in the room for the 3rd time I just wanted to leave. This Dr needs to work on his bedside manners or just retire. Also office is in extreme need of an update!!

I have been seeing Dr. B since he opened his practice on Curry Ford Rd in the 1980s, and followed him to his present location on Conway Road. My wife and kids have been with Dr. Martich, as long. Dr. Bickerton will not tell you what you want to hear, but will tell you what you need to here. He truly cares about his patients.

Dr Bickerton is an excellent doctor, listens to his patients and explains everything. The only reason I left him is that I moved. I tried going back and now I can not because that is what their policy is. This crap does not make sense. Do you know how hard it is to find a good doctor that you can trust????

I have been going to Dr. Bickerton for over 20 years. I think that counts as establishing some kind of working relationship. Literally hours are spent in the waiting room. Gerri should receive combat pay for dealing with patients complaining about their long, long wait. I arrive five minutes before my appointment time and I'm seen two hours later. His nurse doing a pre-exam asks irrelevant questions such as the date of my last period (I'm a senior)!! A year ago I slipped four discs in my lower back and saw Sari. She was excellent and recommended Xrays and an MRI. After those procedures, I saw Dr. Bickerton who sent me to rehab. After the rehab and a back brace which did absolutely nothing, I returned to him for further direction. The pain was fairly intense by this time. He seemed disinterested and sounded like he could care less, a.k.a. no bedside manner. His final recommendation: "Just live with it". For him it's all about charging Medicare for a "long appointment', not taking care of the patient. It's all about their bottom line.

My wife and I have been seeing Dr. Bickerton and / or his staff for many years now and would trust them with my life. I feel like they're family.

Prescribes Physical Therapy for everything. Called me Bipolar. Prescribed Different Soap? Ignored other doctors' Diagnoses.
