I started going to Dr Bickman's at the start of my pregnancy and she was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. Her bedside manner is the reason why I go to her, no matter how crazy busy the day is, Dr Bickman has a smiShow morele on her face and takes the time to answer questions. I never felt rushed, I always felt comfortable talking to Dr Bickman about all the decisions I had to make. Dr Bickman is kind, compassionate and direct, I like getting a straight forward answer. I felt really well taken care of throughout my pregnancy, I liked having 1 doctor in charge of my care v/s going to a practice. I had a false alarm before I had the baby and Dr Bickman stopped by to see me at UCLA to make sure everything was ok. When I went into labor Dr Bickman stopped by before I was ready to push to check on me and then when it was time to push it was great to see her in action mode. She was direct and gave clear direction to get me through. Her follow up after childbirth was amazing, she stopped by to see me at the hospital and had me come in for regular check ups to ensure I was healing well. I cannot say enough good things about Dr Bickman and feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful doctor to deliver my first child and be in charge of my health. Notes: Wait times - You have to wait to see any good doctor, I would be concerned if the waiting room was empty Parking: There is often street parking, in case there isn't there is a garage by the hospital.
Dr. Bickman has a truly innovative way of treating the thinning of the walls of the VJ during and after menopause. I was skeptical because I'm a lawyer but the creams were giving me migraines, and they can cause other harmful sideShow more effects. Although I don't have complete relief yet, I have noticed that itching and burning feeling is COMPLETELY GONE! I have one "trouble" area where the skin is the thinnest (at the bottom of the canal) and Dr. Bickman has agreed to work with me on it. I had it in my 30's so I'm not sure I attribute it completely to "MEN-OH-PAUSE". . because I seriously pumped the breaks before my treatments! Women feel so ashamed about this issue but we see so many ads about botox, fillers and the like, that even 20 y/o's are doing! Why not treat the most intimate part of your body? Dr. Bickman has great bedside manner and is mindful about keeping in touch. (My uncle and first cousin are doctors-- I'll just leave it there :) Give it a shot, what have you got to lose except your sex life? J.D. Attorney, Anonymous

Reviews
I had been to a few different gynecologists but none took the time to listen to me and check me like she did. What took my other gynecologist months to help me with, took Dr. Bickman a few minutes. Also, the friendliest staff ever. Highly recommended.
All staff have a bit of an intense edge but overall very good service.
Love Dr. Bickman. Hate that the standard practice is to wait over an hour to be seen.
Great experience here
Always the best.
Absolutely love Dr Bickman. She takes time with each of her patients, genuinely cares, is incredibly knowledgeable, and just overall wonderful
Very smart woman that knows how to run her practice efficiently. No wonder this office is always constantly busy!
I had a great experience with Dr Bickmen. It did take a while to be brought back into the room, but was well worth it
Waited in the waiting room for a while past my appointment time but otherwise this was a quick, no nonsense checkup and I appreciated the speed.
Good. Crisp and to the point
Great Doctor. Easy to make an appointment.
Dr. Bickman is a wonderful doctor who is courteous, compassionate and she listens to patients concerns.
I was in and out in an hour, and I trust Dr. Bickman implicitly.
Dr. Bickman is so kind and easy to talk to
Great Experience
Dr. Tristan was super knowledgeable and friendly. She made me feel at ease during my first obgyn visit.
Very fast, efficient and clean office. All staff members were warm and welcoming, informative and took time to hear concerns. Dr. Brickman herself was a delight!
Such great bedside manner, I love everyone in this office!
So grateful Dr Bickman saw me today. I’m very early pregnant, but high-risk and it’s been incredibly difficult to find a Dr that will see me this early. She helped me tremendously.
Very great
Dr Bickman is an excellent doctor and a very caring person.
Dr. Bickman takes her time and ensures the patient leaves feeling satisfied. I still go see Bickman whenever I am having problems, even though she is out of network. I feel most comfortable with her!
Dr. Bickman has been my doctor for 15 years. She delivered my daughter four years ago and it was an amazing experience. I highly recommend her.
Pleasant office staff and a great doctor with wonderful bedside manners made the annual exam experience a good one.
Dr. Bickman gives personal care and attention to her patients.
Dr. Bickman is worth the wait. She takes her time to listens to you and explain things and thoroughly examines you. She is kind and patient and well informed. Her front desk staff are very friendly too. Just be prepared to wait a while as she is very busy.
Great doctor!
Dr.Bickman is super nice, easy to talk to. She is caring and very thorough.
Dr. Bickman and staff are wonderful. The wait times between nurse and doctor can be frustrating.
Dr Bickman is wonderful. She really cares about her patients well-being. If there is any issue she takes it seriously and either offers care on the spot or refers to a specialist. No questions asked. The nurses are friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the wait times in her office average about an hour to an hour and half which is really hard when you’re taking time away from work. Additionally, the front desk staff is very impolite and short with her clients — over the phone and in person. The bathroom is also typically dirty and out of supplies.
