Simply the Best
Dr. Bishop was not only my pediatrician growing up, but also my kids’ doctor. We were so blessed to have him. He took excellent care of us- he was intuitive, intelligent, soft, and reassuring. I trusted his advice thoroughly and appreciated him always being there to answer any concern I had. Prayers and love to Dr. B and his family. He was a true Gem. Xoxo

We will always remember the good times at Beechwood especially the swim meets and competition.
Alex was one of a kind and always “for the kids”. ie He practiced his profession outside the office also.
He’s in good hands .

Memory of Dr Bishop
Dr Bishop was a wonderful doctor. My son was diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes. We would not have made it without Dr Bishop’s care. I woke him up many nights asking for help. It is a sad day for all of us. We will be forever grateful for his care and kindness.

Kathleen and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. Alex was a friend and colleague for many years.

Wonderful doctor
Dr. Bishop was my son’s, Adam, and my daughter’s, Andrea, pediatrician. They always loved his little animals that he had clipped to his stethoscope. He would always make you feel at ease and could ask him any question. He was such a great doctor and a good man.
To the Bishop family, I am so sorry for your loss. Rest in peace, Dr. Bishop.
