Dr. Bickford is an outstanding doctor who truly goes above and beyond to make his patients feel comfortable and cared for. My husband suffers from PTSD, anxiety, and depression, which can make medical appts. and procedures especially difficult for him. From his initial office visit and eye exam to his cataract surgery, Dr. Bickford showed exceptional bedside manners, patience, kindness, and understanding. He made my husband feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable throughout the entire process. His compassionate approach and the way he treated my husband with such care and respect meant more to us than words can express. It is not always easy to find a doctor who understands the importance of caring for the whole person, not just the medical condition, but Dr. Bickford truly does. We are so grateful for the excellent care he provided and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate doctor who genuinely cares about his patients. Thank you!
