Dr. Bickel is a proud Washington native and grew up in the Yakima Valley with two brothers. Dentistry runs in the family! Dr. Bickel's younger brother and his sister in law are both dentists in the greater Seattle area.
After graduating, Dr. Bickel was the Dental Chief and Pediatric Dental Surgeon for the Tulalip Tribes, providing dentistry on their reservation to about 4,000 members as well as surrounding tribes and areas. This provided him the unique opportunity to gain expertise in all aspects of dentistry including surgical dentistry and pediatric care.

I love improving the health of my patients. Every day I get a chance to offer real, concrete solutions to patient ailments and concerns. Interpersonal contact with patients makes my job rewarding and fun. Every day is different, and it is always challenging and interesting. I have the unique opportunity to constantly be developing, learning and growing. - Dr. Bickel
