Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Bikowski Jr?
Would not recommend. He made me feel very uncomfortable after I was told by the lady nurse I did not need to take off my underwear, I did not. When Dr. Bikowski came into the room he got very angry and said he will not mark in my medical records he did a full body scan until I took my underwear off. And he proceeded to leave the room until I did. I felt abused, and would NEVER recommend a female, or anyone here.

Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Bikowski Jr?
Dr. Bikowski was so fast I am not sure he diagnosed me properly. I had 2 moles that I was concerned about and he took all of 2 seconds to look at them and tell me what he thought they were and he could laser them off. His manner is very off-putting, not at all patient-friendly, and a bit condescending. I don't need to be coddled for sure but I do want to have things explained to me and his Medical Assistant explained more to me than he did. Maybe she should get the insurance payments, lol. I felt like he was more interested in getting his dictation completed. His staff, however, is excellent and caring and they should get a 5 star review.

Very brusque and uncaring. Doesn't explain anything, doesn't offer advise on care of treatments. Did a biopsy which then became infected. They didn't follow up at all. Won't be going back.

I regret that I ever stepped foot in his office. He belittled me and was very unprofessional and rude toward me. I heard him badmouth me to his staff behind my back -- very condescending man. If I could give 0 stars I would.

He's rude, condescending, and can be passive aggressive if you ask any questions. I don't think he even listened to half of what I said during my appointment. It was as if he didn't want to be bothered. I would never go back. My advice would be to seek dermatology care elsewhere.

Very upset with both visits. Nurses and staff were very pleasant however Dr. Bikowski did not explain things well and made me feel rushed. I was prescribed several different medicines but I am still having the same facial skin issues. I regret visiting with him because I had to pay for both visits yet nothing was solved.

Dr. Bikowski is great! I had seen several other dermatologists over the past 15 years and none prior to Dr. Bikowski could successfully treated my condition. He can be quite curt and direct, but I also find him to be quite amusing. His successful diagnosis and treatment are what matter most. Other points - you'll never sit in the waiting area too long and his staff is very nice and accommodating.

I have repeatedly recommended Dr. Bikowski to both family and friends. I am nearly 50 years old and this is the first time in my adult life my psoriasis has been under control. Dr. B is clear and straightforward and most importantly you can tell he really cares. If I could make him my PCP I would in a heartbeat.

Dr. Bikowski is a very nice and respectful doctor. I enjoyed my visits with him. Everyone is very nice and pleasant to work with. I was even late for my first visit due to a flat tire and they still took me an I only waited 15 minutes. The wait time is usually less than 10 minutes. He understands that your time is as important as his. I would recommend Dr. Bikowski to everyone.

I am a new patient of Dr. Bikowski as of November of 2015. I had been to a few local Dematologists in the Pittsburgh area in the last couple years looking for some help with clearing up a lingering Rocacea break out. No one could could help me with this issue. Within 4-5 months of working with Dr. Bikowski and his awesome colleagues, my skin is now cleaner and clear of all blemishs. I could not say enough good things about the Bikowski Skin Center in Sewickley Pa. Thanks again, Sincerely John S.
