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.

Not a good doctor
My son was seen at the urgent care for a shoulder injury for a possible torn labrum. He was told to follow up with Dr. Bickett who insisted he had Long Thoracic Nerve Palsy and not a torn labrum. She talked down to the medical assistant that initially looked at my son and was very cold and impersonal. When all imaging and EMG results didn't show him having Long Thoracic Nerve Palsy she said there's nothing else she could do, even though my son's shoulder kept dislocating. We went to a different doctor for a second opinion, and my son did have a torn labrum and needed surgery to repair it. It is aggravating that this could have been fixed months ago if she would have done her due diligence.

She was thorough, and definitely knowledgeable. She was, however, somewhat short with me and didn’t want to take the time to answer my questions.

Reconstructed Hip vs Total
She’s a great surgeon. She listens to you. She isn’t in it for the money. The reason I say this is I saw several orthopedic surgeons when I was having hip issues. They all recommended a total hip. I was only 48 years old. She recommended reconstructing the hip. I had my surgery with her and my hip is great now. A total would be so much more money then reconstruction.

My experience with her was very positive. I came to her with multiple issues and she was very easy to talk to as well as a good listener. She provided me with pain relief on my first visit! She recommended physical therapy and I am currently doing so. Expecting surgery down the road and will absolutely have it done by Dr. Bickett!

She listened n explained what was going on based on my previous history with my foot n the issues now. Also explained several options from meds to different surgical procedures that could be done...nothing pressing so I have time to ponder my pain n whether I want to do something now or later.

OA of Knee
Dr. Bickett explained to me my problem and steps I will need to take to get to a place I can have a total knee replacement. She comes across as professional while allowing me time to ask questions. Office/ technical staff were attentive and helpful. I highly recommend the Omni Dover practice site.
