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.

Bright, attentive and personable doctor!
Dr. Bicker listened, gathered all my info, and explained my X rays and his conclusions and diagnosis clearly. He answered all of my questions and was very encouraging. I highly recommend him!

No examination
While Dr Bixler reviewed my radiograph & prescribed medication to get me out of pain he never examined my back-looking at the alignment of my spine or hips. My issue has continued and I’m curious if there is an additional concern that was missed.

Brian was concerned and caring and heard me loud and clear as to my aches and pains. He helped me understand the x-rays and where the problems were on my body. He came up with a good plan of the steroid pack, followed by the meloxicam, when the pack was complete. I would recommend Brian for expertise.

My visit was brief and pretty thorough. I have no complaints. My visit was not really in depth and perhaps not the best evaluation.

Checked Out
So uninterested, impersonal and hands off in his exam. Did not ask any questions or really examine my injury. Just went by the xray. Feel like he’s ready to retire and just going through the motions. Very disappointed.
