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.

I have been with this practice for a few years and have felt very comfortable in all aspects-- the staff is welcoming, the facility is clean and warm. The doctor really pays attention to what I have to say-- listened to the entire story and didn't just focus on what I thought my problem was-- but helped me with some poor choices I was making in my lifestyle. I am very happy and highly recommend this practice

The most caring and compassionate doctor I have ever met. I was completely hopeless before I met Dr. B. I was a drug addict and had tried many times to get sober. After my first visit I never used again. I have been sober over 2 years and I know I owe it all to Dr. B, Erica, and the rest of the staff. I can honestly say that they saved my life. I would recommend this doctor to anyone.

I found the doctor rude and condescending. She never calls back if you request a call from her. She also delegates her front desk to do everything. It appears she doesnt like to get involved with her patients outside her office.

Dr Bichefsly has been my primary care physician since 2002. She is a brilliant diagnostician. She listens intently and does not rush through visits. Her bedside manner is friendly and sincere.

My experience about a month ago. 5:45 arrival. 6pm appointment 6-7pm waiting room 7-8:25pm doctor's room. 8:25 - 8:30pm actual doctors appointment. Half hour to one hour total wait time could be acceptable. About two and a half hours is unnacceptable. It hasn't been just one time or just at an specific time. The wait times are extreme almost every time.

If you make an appointment at this office, take a sleeping bag with you! I waited an hour and a half past my appointment time to see the doctor, who then got interrupted 3 different times while in the room with me. First of all, who has that kind of time to sit and wait for the doctor? I certainly don't, and my time is just as important as hers is. And the interruptions are inexcusable. I think she is smart, and probably a good doctor, but I won't be returning. Just can't wait that long.

I arrived at 5:15 for a 6pm appointment and was in the waiting room until 7pm. Then I waited another 20 minutes in the doctors room to be seen by Dr. Bichefsky for all of 10 minutes. (routine med check.)
