Get to know Obstetrician-Gynecologist Dr. Tristan Emily Bickman, who serves patients in Santa Monica, California.

A trusted obstetrician-gynecologist in the Santa Monica area, Dr. Bickman has served the local community for over 18 years and specializes in all aspects of obstetrics and gynecological care. From early womanhood through pregnancy, menopause and beyond, she and her team are committed to providing every patient with the best care.

Striving to make a difference in the lives of her patients, her goal is to provide compassionate, comprehensive care with state-of-the-art diagnostics and treatments. She believes that her patients deserve personalized care, and she wants them to feel like they can ask her any question, or call anytime they have a problem or concern.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Dr. Bickman attended the Westlake School for Girls and received her undergraduate education at UC Berkeley and UCLA. She graduated with her medical degree from the USC School of Medicine, and completed her residency in obstetrics & gynecology at the Cedars Sinai Medical Center.

With an unwavering commitment to her specialty, the doctor is board-certified in obstetrics & gynecology by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG). The ABOG is a non-profit organization that provides board certification for practicing obstetricians and gynecologists in the United States and Canada.

In her clinical role, she provides a full range of obstetric and gynecologic services for women of all ages. She provides general consultations, annual gynecological exams, ultrasounds, pre and post natal care, and treatment for issues relating to pelvic pain, infertility, menopause, and osteoporosis.

A mother of five herself, Dr. Bickman has a special interest in obstetrics and loves to deliver babies. In fact, she had a C-Section, and a subsequent 4 VBAC’s. Additionally, she has struggled with infertility, so is able to relate to her patients on a very personal level. She specializes in high-risk pregnancies, and strives to help women have the birth experience they desire. Unlike many group OB/GYN practices, she delivers all her patients’ babies herself.

Obstetrics and gynecology (OB-GYN) is the medical specialty that encompasses the two subspecialties of obstetrics (covering pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period) and gynecology (covering the health of the female reproductive system – vagina, uterus, ovaries, and breasts).
