Since moving to Bishop four years ago, BVH has ministered to my two pugs, Gus and Stanley. Unfortunately.

I have been very pleased with his care by BVH. Both the front office and medical staff have done outstanding work, and I trust them! I highly recommend them!

Their first available appointment was a full week away, and they wanted $125 simply to walk through the door for a same-day "emergency" visit. This wasn't an emergency, but I was offered nothing else. The $125 was in addition to any services they'd actually provide, and I wasn't going for that unless there were absolutely no other choices. So, I called Mtn. View. We got a next day appointment. The women working the front desk were very friendly and helpful. They all seemed like super caring people and like they were really happy to be working there. The vet we saw was Dr. Lequient, who was also very caring. She listened well, considered about our pup's comfort as she examined him, and was very careful in her diagnosis. We liked her a lot. In general, we are interested in holistic animal care, and I don't think there's any place in Bishop that offers that. Dr. Lequient wanted to give our dog a systemic antibiotic for his superficial wound, and we politely declined it. She was OK with that. We took home some cleansing wipes and an antibiotic cream, to be used for 7 - 10 days. The wound healed overnight, so we discontinued usage. The doctor also inquired about vaccinations, which we don't do, but she was pretty accepting of our position. I wouldn't say she's spectacularly holistic, but she seems to respect owners' wishes. Here's the best part: someone from the office called us one or two days later, to check in and see how our dog was doing. Again, nice conversation with someone who really sounded like she cared (and I'm sure she did). I am totally sold on this office! And the little details: we were seen on time; the office is spacious and clean; no one tried to sell us anything.

Dr. Chong has been Sutton's veterinarian since she was a tiny puppy, and I truly can't imagine trusting her care to anyone else. Over the past eight years, Dr. Chong and the entire staff have consistently been kind, friendly, prompt, and professional. They always take the time to answer questions, provide excellent care, and genuinely make us feel like Sutton is part of their family. I highly recommend Mountain View Animal Hospital to anyone looking for compassionate, knowledgeable veterinary care. We are so grateful for everything they've done to help keep Sutton happy and healthy over the years!

A quick visit to my health plan's website turned up this facility tucked away off of Main St. in the Bedroom of the High Sierras (that's Bishop, California to you and me). I pulled into a deserted emergency room parking lot around 5:45am on a Saturday morning in May, 2014 and rang the after-hours bell at the check-in window. A triage nurse acknowledged me at once, took my vitals, punched some personal info into the computer and turned me over to the admitting nurse. The first-time patient check-in went surprisingly fast and I settled into a chair in the waiting room where I had barely enough time to text a status update to the missus back at the Creekside Inn. The male nurse confirmed my identity, examined the ear canal and decided on the peroxide fizz/irrigation regimen. The female doctor concurred and after a couple washes, rinses and some digging, my right ear (the one prone to these things) was back to clear-as-a-bell hearing. I was back in my hotel room before 7:00am After over 30 years of spending the night in Bishop on the way to and from Lake Tahoe, it's nice to discover something new. True, it's not an overlooked gem of a restaurant, but it's comforting to know it's here if we need it.

Horrific and Traumatizing Experience with SMLGuides - Guide Kurt…read more I recently participated in a guided Mt. Whitney hike with SMLGuides, and it was, without question, one of the most distressing and disappointing trail experiences of my life. What should have been an empowering and memorable climb instead became an experience marked by poor leadership, lack of professionalism, emotional distress, and equipment negligence. To begin with, the backpack I rented from Kurt was completely inappropriate--it was a men's backpack, not sized or fitted for me, and it caused immediate and ongoing issues throughout the hike. I had to stop repeatedly to make adjustments, relying on another guide, Ben, to help me manage the situation. These delays were not due to my fitness or preparedness but solely due to being provided improper gear. Supplying correctly fitted equipment is a basic responsibility of any guiding service, and this failure directly impacted my hike. What followed at the trailhead was even more troubling. After arriving with excitement and anticipation, I was subjected to an invasive and humiliating experience when Kurt went through each of my personal belongings from the rental backpack--handling and examining items that were clearly private--before abruptly tossing the bag into the van. This behavior was unnecessary, intrusive, and deeply uncomfortable, and it immediately set a tone of disrespect and intimidation. Despite my clear and repeated communication--both prior to the hike and in person--about my extensive hiking background, including summiting Mount Kilimanjaro, completing Grand Canyon Rim-to-Rim, finishing the Triple Crown Hike in Virginia, and numerous Appalachian Trail hikes, Kurt continuously questioned my ability in a way that was demeaning and demoralizing. This was not constructive guidance; it was discouraging and dismissive. Rather than offering solutions, encouragement, or leadership, Kurt repeatedly suggested that I should quit. At no point did he attempt to properly address the gear issue or support me in continuing. I felt pressured, unsupported, and frankly treated as an inconvenience. It genuinely felt as though he had his own agenda and was eager to drop hikers rather than guide them. Ultimately, I turned back--not because I lacked the physical capability to summit, but because my equipment failed me and my guide failed me. The mountain did not defeat me--the leadership did. This experience stands in stark contrast to my Rim-to-Rim hike, where teammates stayed with me, encouraged me, and supported me through challenges. That is what real leadership and camaraderie look like. That is what hikers deserve--especially on a trail as demanding as Mt. Whitney. Additionally, we were informed there would be four guides, yet only three were present. There was no explanation provided. In contrast to Kurt's behavior, Ben was kind, patient, and genuinely helpful, doing his best to assist me with the oversized backpack and offering the support that was otherwise missing. I left this experience emotionally drained, shaken, and traumatized. I was forced to turn around under circumstances that could and should have been prevented with proper gear, professionalism, and support. Given that I could not complete the hike due to these failures, I am requesting a full refund. I sincerely hope SMLGuides takes this feedback seriously. No hiker should ever be made to feel disrespected, intimidated, or abandoned on a guided expedition. Future participants deserve competent leadership, properly fitted equipment, transparency, and basic human decency.

I do recognize that giving such short notice to cancel is not ideal. In retaliation, they cancelled my upcoming cleaning appointment without notifying me. So I showed up, hearing whispers between the staff in the back (no one is ever at the desk to greet you). Then Dr. Overholtzer comes out and says I should seek care elsewhere. Fine. But to purposely not notify me of this prior to showing up was just petty. Also the 'consults' were over the top. It's really weird to have your dentist want to do a therapy session with you & not just take care of your teeth.

I've reluctantly been forced to update my review of Toiyabe's Bishop Clinic, particularly due to a…read morechange of location and a change of management, resulting in a rating of 3 stars, down from the previous 4 stars. The dental staff continue to shine, even with the change of scenery. If you need your pearly whites shined to perfection, ask for Delanie, the dental hygienist. She'll make sure your teeth shine! The dentists are awesome and are second to none. Full disclosure: I've not had much of any interaction with the medical clinic in Bishop, since having made the choice to go to the Line Pine Clinic. One of the reasons is that they're consistently loaded up, while the staff at the Lone Pine Clinic accommodate my requests quite handily and easily. Also, a severe turnover in medical providers in Bishop also made it an easy choice for me to continue going to Lone Pine. As for the Pharmacy, it is only open to Indigenous American patients. So if you're able to take advantage of this as an Indigenous American, I highly encourage you to do so. As for why my rating has been scaled back, the recent change in management due to what some have termed "interfering board decisions" has not resulted in a positive, harmonious relationship, which is apparent in many of the Bishop staff, unfortunately. When the decision was made to eliminate the Preventive Medicine Department altogether, no public announcement was made nor were any patients consulted on the potential impacts. Instead, it was left to the remaining staffers to inform the patients affected. Such a hastily made and carried-out decision comes across as a sign of ineffectual management, something which often results after a turnover in management. It is with a hope for positive changes in the future that I write this.
