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.

This hospital is almost 4 hours from home, I had extra fears regarding this surgery, and in the middle of a massive anxiety spiraling episode and the staff handled me beautifully (even better than my husband lol). The staff talked me through everything, treated me as if everything was normal (including me), took the time to get to know me and all my little quirks, made sure I had everything i might need or want. and when my surgery was delayed they just spent time with me. Nurse Eric was the best of the best out of everyone! I have another surgery scheduled here in December, but some of my anxiety and issues are slightly better knowing there is a great staff waiting and just maybe Nurse Eric will be on my team again.

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.

I went there for prenatal care for my most recent pregnancy. They never checked for obvious issues that could come up, esp with my history and risk factors. The secretaries think they're doctors qualified to make decisions about patients' health. The actual doctors take their sweet time getting back to patients in need of help. I'll spare you the gory details, but will add that they REFUSED to provide me with anything close to necessary postpartum care. If you have a choice, I recommend trying Ridgecrest or even Reno if you can... I wish I had had a home birth.

It was quick and painless, and for that I'm deeply grateful. Results followed promptly and were explained in detail. All other visits have been great.
