Dr. Bishop was my pediatrician when I was a child and when I had my daughters I immediately knew that there was no other doctor or practice that I would trust my children with. He was a great man and a great doctor!

He was my daughter´s pediatrician so many, many years ago and then became our bingo buddy at Covington Catholic Bingo. So nice, so kind and so funny. He will be missed. Our sympathies to your family.

He was a brilliant doctor! Very demanding, always doing his best for his patients. It was a pleasure working alongside a doctor who was so dictated to
medicine and his patients. May his soul rest in peace.

We will keep his family in our prayers.
