Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Hip and right shoulder pain
After having x-rays taken Dr Bica entered the room ready to explain his decision on the proper way to move forward. For my hip his recommendation was a hip replacement. Using the x-rays he explained and showed me how he came to this conclusion. For my shoulder he recommended physical therapy and a cortisone shot and a follow up appointment in 2 months. All my questions were answered satisfactorily and the visit was rewarding.

Shoulder eval
I was seen by Dr. Bica for my right shoulder pain that has been ongoing forever two months. In physical exam and ultrasound, he showed me that I have right shoulder bursitis. He offered multiple treatments and gave an injection on site and referral for physical therapy. Great provider and explains thoroughly. Only have 5 stars because I can't give more.

Excellent doctor!
I went in for a typical knee injection; just happened to mention a slight hip issue. Dr. Bica, on testing my movement said he wanted to exray my hip - found out I have more arthritis in it than I do in my knees!
