Today I have a first visit with Dr. Bickford. He was very professional and listened to everything that I had to say. After my evaluation, he explained to me in Laymans terms what was going on and what my options were. Very personable.

Dr. Bickford did an excellent job on my cataract surgery. He is a very friendly doctor. Palmetto Eye is blessed to have him. I can see an improvement in my eyesight already. I will recommend him to my friends!
