Rachel L Bickling's Online Review Report Card

You are the absolute best doctor I've ever had. Not just a doc, a family friend and a blessing to us.

I had to Fire her after 12+ years. She could not diagnose my Traverse Myelitis. Harborview is where I went for treatment/best doctors ever, for this rare neuro-immune-disease. Rachel thought my horrific pain was due to drug seeking. Shame on Rachel.

This woman has been my PCP since I was a child and frankly, in all that time I have nothing nice to say about her. She put me on birth control when I was 11 to treat severely painful cramps, without fully informing me of the long term side effects or making any attempt to treat me naturally and without hormones (also I was a child so comprehending the consequences of side effects for something that major was impossible). She has also pressed me to make medical decisions I have flat out told her I am not comfortable with and she kept pressing. Furthermore, when asked to run tests she told me they weren't necessary and when I pressed her further to do them and she agreed, she then proceeded to "forget" and let my sample and doctors visit (for which I paid for) go to waste without notifying me of this mistake, so my tests were never run and I was never followed up with. Sounds like negligence to me! Do not go to this judgmental, ineffective excuse for a doctor, you'll leave worse off than you came in.

Not enough nice things to say about this doctor. She is exceptional.

This woman is my doctor, my OB, delivered my first child and is her pediatrician. She also saved my life when I hemorrhaged after a long and difficult birth. Her quirky and fun personality make her easy to talk to and she stays highly informed on all subjects. She's not afraid to bite the bullet and send you off in an emergency, or if she feels something is off even if she can probably handle the situation. She takes 0 risks and only allows the best quality treatment for her patients. Nothing gets pushed under the rug. Best doctor ever.

I first met Dr. B. around 2015 and found her to be pleasant, attentive and a good listener. She smiled. Over time, she grew hurried, irritable and less responsive (for example, my insurer called to complain that their prescription refill requests -fax and calls - were ignored. This happened twice.) I suspect she is spread too thin and seems to want to do obstrectics more than general medicine. Several appointments were with her associates because she was not in.

Wonderful experience: she tries to solve as many issues as possible without meds and by diet; cuts to the chase with as much detail as you like and with humor.

Dr. Bickling is the most competent, good bed manner and excellent care towards her patients. She is the best doctor I've ever encountered.

I have been going to see Dr, Bickling for years. At first she was terrific! I loved the staff! The girls in the back office were caring and very professional. You were treated like family. Then a few months ago the hospital changed. 90% of the docs are connected to Jefferson health care. Now they have to see 20 to 30 people day. I switched to natural medication and the doc did not like it. I tried to give her info on NDT et al but she was not interested at all!!!! The staff changes way too much. Too many cooks in the kitchen. Since the change I have had issues with doc and how she wants to treat my symptoms. This area is not good for doctors they do not seem to care at all. There might be a few who do care, but slim pickings I liked it the way it was. The old small town feeling. Doctors have to learn that we the patients are becoming more and more educated and we are becoming our own advocates. Dr. B does not like anything natural as to be treated by a natural-path.

Staff is to tense
