Dr. Theresa Sullivan Bishop

I worked with Dr Bishop at Walter Reed. I considered her a friend and colleague. After retirement from the Army I filed for disability claims and asked her for help with the claim. I even tried to schedule appointment with her, but her office staff stonewalled me for 47 days. I finally gave up. Fortunately, other colleagues gave corraborating statements for my claim and I did get a 100% VA disablity rating. She could have helped me with a simple one paragraph statement to support my claim. She treated me as if I did not exist. Something this egregious cannot go without consequence and that is why I have done this rating.

Dr. Bishop is very competent,professional, ethical and compassionate. Dr. Bishop actually listens giving you quality time and develops a individual wellness plan involving psychiatric counseling and possible medications with a accurate diagnosis. She is very charming and has a friendly bed side manner. I was her patient for 15 year's until I moved to another state .Then she was implementable in helping me find a new psychiatrist. But she is still unreplaceable.

Dr. Bishop was ok, but she left this practice, Western Carolina Psychriatric. But WCPA is a nightmare. Keep away from this place The entire Self Regional system is poor for mental illness. If you have a problem, head to another city.

These guys spend minimal time with the patient to truly understand what is hurting the patient. They are then quick with the labels. They ruined three years of my life. Fortunately , I escaped psychiatry and have gone on to find healing and wholeness. Don't buy their expensive, debilitating lies.

While I don't love the fact that I need to see a psychiatrist, I feel reassured by Dr. Bishop's expertise. She is a good listener and provides solid advice, taking my concerns into appreciation. She clearly thinks about what is the best thing to do for my condition, and is always open to address any questions I may have about treatment. You can tell the wheels are churning when she thinks of the patient's best interests, and I am grateful for that.

Cannot recommend this doctor.

I worked with Dr Bishop professionally many years ago. I recently filed a VA claim that I thought she would help to substantiate. Being a fellow professional, I went through channels, obtained a referral, and tried to get an appointment. Her office stonewalled me for 48 days never giving the appointment, nor ever returning my call or message. I reported this to my counselor at the VA who said to forget it, she will not give you an appointment. She did recommend a letter to request a statement. I mailed the letter, but never received any reply. I will point out that we are both veterans and I was a colleague & friend. I have great difficulty understanding the poor treatment I received.
