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.

She called me at night to give me results of the test. I felt very cared for that someone cared enough to do that.

She said we were going to test for asthma because she doesn't think I have it, but then didn't follow up saying what we were going to do to test.

Attitude is not great
Does not listen to patients, refuses to look at medical history. Thinks she knows more about you than yourself.

Would have to agree with the other review, her pretentious attitude is a major deterrent to ever following up and seeing her. She has not only made myself feel uncomfortable, she has done so to other family members who see her. I expect this attitude from a specialist but not a primary care physician. Shaming patients, lacking compassion and communication skills is going to prevent your patients from seeking routine preventative care. The midlevel providers at the West Duluth Clinic are much more sensitive, easy to speak with and attentive. See them.

I will not recommend Dr.Bich to anyone ! She is not a good team player when it comes to your health . I have been complaining about high blood pressure and the numbers backed it up and she didn't feel I needed medication for it .went like this for almost 3 years .I just got out of the hospital from having a seizure then went into cardiac arrest into heart attack. Clinically dead twice ! Plenty more I can say about her know it all attitude!
