James T. Bishop, M.D.
I know from personal experience about the problems I treat. I suffered for over 40 years from undetected allergies. I even had a surgical procedure that could have been avoided had someone taken the time to test me for allergies.
That’s why I take a conservative approach to care . . . to assure that you get the right care the first time.
Unsurpassed Education & Training

Many doctors got into practice after only five years of medical education. I chose to build a stronger foundation, in order to provide the specialty care I give. In all, I dedicated 13 years to my medical education in the highest quality medical school and postgraduate programs in the country.
