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.

Dr Bicher provided the absolute best care that anybody could ask for. My wife trusted her implicitly!

Please don’t go here if you have cancer
I was not informed of different treatment options for my surgery although there are many. My surgery was double booked and I had to have it at 5 pm on a Friday night. In comparing surgeries with other patients of similar backgrounds, I realized that disease (albeit small) was left in me and non-essential organs that had disease in them had not been taken out. I was not properly staged. A nurse read me my pathology results because Dr. Bicher was too busy. These results were later changed (inova fairfax pathologist made a mistake) and nothing was communicated to me. I was not put me on an additional drug with chemo that is recommended for my cancer and staging. After a second opinion, I was finally able to get the drug with a new provider and it’s working really well. If you have cancer, you should go to a cancer-only treatment facility. Dr. Bicher’s office takes on too many patients and can’t give them the care and specialized treatment they need.

Was able to get appointment fast. She knows her stuff and was able to explain the diagnosis and treatment options clearly. I trust her.

Though Dr. Bicher is a great surgeon, her practice adds so much stress to the situation, dropping the ball on scheduling important testing and not responding AT ALL to any inquiry. I am grateful for the surgery, but horrified as the cancer has come back and I have to sit on my thumbs for weeks on end doing nothing. Looking for someone who actually pays attention to my health.

I have difficulties with this practice. Examples: 1. Test performed without telling me. 2. Lab culture sent to uncovered lab instead of lab that my insurance covers so I had to pay for test. 3. No response to my letter and 3 calls over 3 weeks for result of tests; finally got response after 4th call. 5. Incorrect info on patient portal, no correction despite repeated requests. 6. Little time or attention to patient concerns although eager to prescribe chemotherapy. 7. Reception is unwelcoming.

She is compassionate and thoughtful with my Mother. She performed an operation to remove a tumor and also supervised my Mom’s chemo treatments. We could not have asked for a better victor or a more kind and caring human being. We are grateful we found her; she literally saved my Mothwrs life twice!

Dr. Bicher saved my life. A very busy office, and my doctor called and got me an emergency appointment with her. I thank God everyday that I went there. The PA's were great, as was doctor Bicher in explaining everything, and knowing what we were going to go thru. Yes, they are very busy. The practice is one of the top 10 in the entire country. It's not easy to get in, but with the help of your doctor sending you there, it can be done quicker!

referred to Dr Bicher after cancer diagnosis -office iscold, gray; staff is not attentive. Bicher's exam was about 20 minutes, arranged pet/ct scan the following week. 9 days passed between the petscan and call to schedule follow up (6 days later) . Meanwhile i went for 2nd opinion, had pet/ct copy got results from new dr; in those 9 days new dr had add'l scans done and 1st treatment planned. Made 3 requests for my records sent to new dr - her office never did. Glad i chose another doc.

I am eternally grateful to Dr Bicher. She is the only one who could laproscopically extract a 20 cm cyst on my ovary, with no damage to my ovaries or fallopian tube WHILE I WAS 18 WEEKS PREGNANT!! My baby and I are both indebted to her. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

I visited a few doctors after I was diagnosed with cancer and it was completely night and day with Dr. Bicher. I felt very rushed during my appointment (it seemed like she just wanted me in and out of her office), she didn't take the time to listen and answer questions and her staff/nurses were very rude. Please shop around for doctors until you find one that will listen to you and that you are comfortable with!

Practically impossible to get appointment with her. I have to wait 3 weeks before a scheduler will call me for an appointment. I predict I will have to wait for another 2 months for the actual appointment. At the point of giving up trying to see her. Even if she is the top doctor, what's the use when you cannot even get an appointment with her?

Very rude office, impossible to get a hold of, not helpful at all. Not a stress you need while going through cancer. Does not take any time with patient. Does not answer questions. Take your business elsewhere to someone who will actually care, answer questions, answer phone calls, and explain things.
