Dr. Tristan E Bickman, MD - Reviews

I feel so lucky to have found Dr Bickman. I started seeing her right out of college when I moved to LA and she has really become a part of my family. My husband started coming to my appointments when I got pregnant and he loves her as much as I do! She delivered our first baby last year and we could not have been more thrilled with the experience. She’s calming and so easy to talk to and really helped us through the entire process. She gives each patient her full attention and makes you feel like you are in the best hands (and you are!) I can’t recommend her more highly.

Tristan was unbelievable rude. This doctor laughed when I had questions. She never responded to follow up. I do not recommend this doctor even for the easiest of births

Beautiful office in a great location of Santa Monica. The care from Dr. Bickamn and staff always exceeds expectations, making sure I feel comfortable and all my questions are answered. I enjoy coming to every visit knowing I have the best care

I was relatively new to LA and did not have an OBGYN when I discovered I was pregnant with my second child. I had had a very rough delivery with my first child that almost cost me and my son our lives, so that, coupled with a recent trip to Brazil and Zika exposure, I was in a bit of a panic over my newly discovered pregnancy. I was referred to Dr. Bickman by a friend of mine and she was a godsend. Dr. Bickman agreed to see me the very next day after I called her office. She reviewed my previous medical history and walked me through all of the reasons that this pregnancy and delivery would be different than the first. Additionally, she had both my husband and I immediately tested for Zika. After the first appointment, I knew I was in good hands. I had to have a scheduled c-section due to the nature of my first delivery, and Dr. Bickman and her team accommodated me changing the delivery date a couple of times. When I went into labor (ahead of my scheduled date, of course), Dr. Bickman was at the hospital within minutes to see me and prep for the surgery. The surgery went exactly according to plan and the recovery was easy. I could not have been happier with how things played out. I see quite a few reviews on here about wait times in her office, and while sometimes there can be quite a wait, it is worth it. My first delivery was at a practice with a team of OBGYN's and when I went into labor, my doctor was not on call and was not there to deliver my son. One of her team members was the one who delivered him and after the traumatic experience and other necessary medical procedures, I still had not seen my doctor. Dr. Bickman delivers all of her own patients and when you're going through something as intense as childbirth, you want your doctor there with you. As a patient, sometimes you have to make the sacrifice and wait in her office while she is delivering for another one of her patients. My experience with her has made me emotionally prepared for another pregnancy, something I didn't think was possible after the first.

Dr. Bickman goes above and beyond to make each visit one to remember, very informative, will answer any questions one has, As well as builds a relationship with you one on one, it’s truly a comforting feeling finding a Dr. this caring towards her patients. I’m lucky I found her

Dr. Bickman is by far the best OBGYN I've ever had. I started seeing her half way through a high risk pregnancy, and she missed no steps and just jumped right in, being helpful and caring in every way. She delivered our son via c-section with no issues whatsoever, even though it was high risk and a million things could have gone wrong. She always makes you feel like you are the most important patient, takes time with you and answers any questions you may have. I had to bring my other kids to a few appointments and she welcomed them and was so kind and accommodating. The specialist she referred me to worked really well with her for the surgery as well, I wouldn't have wanted anyone else in the OR with me! The entire office staff is extremely kind and accommodating as well. I wouldn't use anyone else!

I came to Dr. Bickman with severe menopause symptoms. I had to find a doctor that would take the time to address this new chapter in my life. I had been in a cycle of treatments from a prior doctor and I was getting worse. I was not even sure if it was hormones or what was happening. Increasing stress and fatigue was making it all worse. When I had my first visit with Dr. Bickman, I knew I found the right doctor for me. She understood immediately what I was going through. One step at a time we addressed each problem, we spoke of hormone and treatment options and a couple months later I’m 100% improved! She even followed up with emails to make sure I was feeling ok! Dr. Bickman has the ability to care and give the individual attention and time for both her younger OB patients and patients approaching menopause and during menopause. I witness this every time I visit the office. Thank you Dr. Bickman for providing care for every stage of a woman’s wellness ! Grateful!

I think Dr. Bickman is a wonderful doctor. She saw me through my first pregnancy and delivered my son. At every appointment she answered all of my questions and never once made me feel embarrassed for them. She was always pleasant and chatted with me before and after the exam. Thanks to her partnership with Dr. Tabsh I had two high-class doctors looking after me. At a regular check-up with Dr. Tabsh my son's heart rate dipped. He sent me up for monitoring in L&D. I was admitted and Dr. Bickman made sure to come see me and ease my worries. A few days later I developed preeclampsia and was induced. I am eternally grateful to both Dr. Tabsh and Dr. Bickman for monitoring my health so closely and catching what could have been a very bad situation. Dr. Bickman was the doctor I needed during my first delivery. I had to have a few more follow up visits with her after to check my blood pressure and she was always happy to see me and genuinely interested in how my son was doing. She made me feel a lot better about the crime scene that was healing down below. I did have to wait a long time for a few appointments, but I understood this was a possibility going in as she personally delivers all her patients' babies. It was worth it to me. Thank you Dr. Bickman!!
