Randall A. Bickle, DO

I hope to give you a glance into my thoughts on being a physician and why I continue to love what I do. I have been a family practitioner for 37 years and have felt great satisfaction with taking care of patients holistically. I have always cared about my patients as people, and not just a disease or an illness. In my view, my patients’ families, interests and ups and downs are as important a part of our relationship as the care approaches to medical conditions.

I have more time to listen to all you have to say, when you open the door for me, so that I may partner with you to discuss decisions and help you address concerns and conditions. I strive to be forthright and transparent about my guidance for medical care. I believe that the role of a primary care physician (PCP) is to listen and offer advice—and that may not always entail medications or interventions. I strive to answer your questions and work with you on appropriate changes as necessary.

I became a physician because I love to interact with people. I like to get to know what makes each patient unique and how I can help you work to be the healthiest you can be, physically and mentally. I derive joy from the relationship that I have with every patient. It is a reward that is hard to describe.

When you join my MDVIP-affiliated practice, you can receive individualized, attentive care. In this model, I can spend more time with you at each visit to continually build our patient-provider relationship. Plus, I offer the annual MDVIP Wellness Program, which includes advanced screenings and tests focused on key areas of health to help identify risk factors and issues that could be treated earlier, prevented or even reversed.

I want to explain why I chose to practice under the MDVIP model after many rewarding years in a traditional practice. As I looked at where medicine is going, I felt it was becoming less personal over the last three decades. The administrative demands have grown and were impacting the time that I can spend with my patients. My brother has been an MDVIP-affiliated doctor in Arizona for a decade and found it to be so rewarding. He has had the opportunity to renew relationships with his patients and has regained his joy in medicine. Having the time to spend with his patients has allowed him to regain the personal connections he felt he was missing.

I hope if you will consider joining me in in my practice. If you are looking for a physician who will be your advocate and partner in health, I believe I can be that doctor for you.
