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.

Pay attention
The waits are long and he is often distracted during your visit with outside calls or dealing with other issues. He is through, but spend s little time listening and more time pushing new meds when the old ones are working.

Dr Bichai is a caring and thorough physician who wants the best for his patients. Although wait times can be long, I always know I will get the time I need with him (hence the long wait times). He was so caring with me son with covid and helped me understand everything I needed.

Dr. Bichai is a professional Dr. He always answers all my health concerns. He also gives me samples of my medication because my insurance doesn't pay for it. The only downfall is the wait time.

I have found Dr. Bichai to be professional, kind & open to hearing concerns of family & patient. He is honest, helpful & receptive to looking deeper when warranted. I’ve worked with Docs as well as being treated by & he is truly in the top five of my experiences!! BTW....I’m no youngster @ 60yrs. I’ve seen more than a few in my life thus far!!

Dr. Bichai rescheduled my appointment 3 different times in a two week period. When I was finally able to come in, I waited over 6 hours to see him. During the exam, he was very uninterested in me or my medical issues. He was constantly on his phone, taking calls and texting, and walking in and out to talk to his staff about other patients. It was a horrible experience.

JUST AWFUL my appointment was scheduled at 4pm and they took till near 8pm to see me. This is ridiculous. People who came after me were seen before me. When sitting for a long time my back pain is outrages and i couldn't stand my back after i left here. They shouldn't schedule so many appointments or take so many walk ins if they know they already have more than they can handle, they're probably just trying to make more money. The waiting room is also freezing cold which didn't help my back.
