Let me start by saying I have a some what serious phobia of the dentist. I haven't been in years…read morebecause of that (don't judge me, LOL). Turns out I needed a root canal and I was literally crying on the way to have it done. But Dr. Hopkins made me feel so relaxed and comfortable. I didn't feel any pain either! He understood my apprehension, and walked me though the procedure. I will continue to go back to Dr Hopkins, and also refer him to others.

I wanted to write this review to dilute the effect of one reviewer who called him a "butcher". Dr. Woodcock and his staff really took care of me. They sent in all of my pre-op work to my insurance and the nurses were really patient and friendly when I kept calling back with questions about my coverage. When the pre-op came back from my insurance they called me immediately and kept trying to get ahold of me (I usually couldn't answer because they tended to call when I was working) to discuss it. I came in very nervous the day of my appointment and everyone was really nice. My nurse Becky was great, very helpful and comforted me a lot, because I was terrified. I got the nitrous oxide, then the anesthesia, after you're asleep they numb your mouth with Novacaine. Dr. Woodcock was cracking jokes for my benefit while they were getting me ready to go. All I remember after the anesthesia was my mouth being stretched open, and someone putting a towel or something over my eyes, which was MUCH APPRECIATED. It was just like going to sleep. They don't put you out completely here, they call it more like a "twilight zone", and that some people remember some things, but most don't remember anything. When I woke up I actually thought that they hadn't even started yet, it was so quick and I was so out of it. The nurses told me that I talked a lot, which is pretty funny but I don't remember any of that. Dr. Woodcock told me it only took about thirty minutes. They called my boyfriend for me and gave me my post-op instructions while we waited. Dr Woodcock told my boyfriend that his orders were for him to go get me a milkshake immediately. Then they gave me my teeth, and Becky and boyfriend both walked me out to the car. I really appreciated how they truly take care of you here. After I got home I was pretty miserable, the gauze was disgusting when I took it out to drink my shake and take my pills. I fell asleep and when I woke up I was in some pain but not too much. I never had to put the gauze back in. Dr Woodcock did a really great job on me, I have very little swelling, considering I had all four teeth taken out, and I have fair skin that bruises easily. I haven't bled at all since the first day. Overall the experience was much much better than I expected. I was expecting hell and misery and I got a little misery but nothing more than that. I thank Dr. Woodcock and his wonderful nurses for making this experience the best it could be. As a side note, Dr. Woodcock is also an anesthesiologist, which isn't common among oral surgeons, so I wasn't worried at all about getting anesthesia in his office.

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.
