I never thought I would be writing a review about a dentists, but I have been so impressed by Dr…read more Bichon and his staff that I felt I had to jump on here and give them two thumbs up. I have had several procedures done here in the last 2 years (extractions, filling, cleaning) and each one was clearly explained, carefully performed, and monitored over time. The charges were accurate, they worked with my insurance and really took good care of my teeth.

I broke a tooth while traveling through Gunnison. I was a bit suspicious of Dr. Bishon's online…read morereputation as he seems to get 5 star reviews every couple of days on local.intuit.com. Nobody has 99% satisfaction and the only way a dentist is going to get that many reviews consistently is if they are offering some sort of discount or just flat out purchasing them. As the other dentist in town seemed to have spent a few bucks buying reviews as well and the dentist (out of town) that a local recommended me to couldn't see me for two days, I went with Dr. Bishon and hoped for the best. The office is quite nice. It's clean and you can make yourself a single serving coffee or have a bottle of water while you wait. His radiology equipment is up to date and you will see pictures of your teeth on a large screen monitor in real time. X-ray exposures cost about 30 bucks a pop and you probably won't be told that ahead of time. Dr. Bishon was courteous and professional as he was examining my tooth. As we were discussing treatment options, I began to have my doubts about Dr. Bishon's motives in his recommendations. I found Dr. Bishon's advice to be valuable - it did cost about 6 bucks a minute. We discussed a crown. He said he thought he could put a crown on it. Turn around time from the lab though is 2-3 weeks and I did not have that amount of time to stay in Gunnison. What I found odd, was that when I asked about an implant (at 3x the cost of a crown), Dr. Bishon said that the prognosis for the tooth with a crown was bad long-term. Moments before he had been offering to contact the lab and try to get a rush order if I could give him a drop dead date on leaving town. As we discussed the implant process, I decided that I felt more comfortable having my regular dentist perform the procedure (there is a 3-4 month wait in between steps and I have worked with him for years). I asked Dr. Bishon if he could place a temporary filling until I could get to my regular dentist. At this point, it seems I had misunderstood the nature of the day's dental visit. Dr. Bishon informed me that he had two other patients and he didn't have time to work on my tooth today, but if I could come back the next morning, he could 'take care of that for me'. Now, the only reason I was in Dr. Bishon's office in the first place was because the dentist an actual person recommended couldn't see me until the following day. Whatever, I just wanted to eat a sandwich! The next day, I got my tooth filled. It took about 7 minutes of Dr. Bishon's time - not including duplicated pleasantries from the previous day. But first, I had the joy of his assistant sticking four fingers in my mouth, vertically, for no medical purpose, as I was mid-sentence. I'm an adult. If you don't want to talk to me, fine. Quieting someone by putting your hand inside their mouth is just... bizarre. The 7 minutes I spent with Dr. Bishon's hands in my mouth were even weirder. He threw out several 'folk sayings' for the edification of myself and his assistant. "Pennywise is pound foolish" and '"I'll trip over a dime to pick up a penny". I'd never heard the second. I stand edified. The previous day, he had spun from '500 today and the rest when I put in the crown' to not having 7 minutes to fix a broken tooth so I could eat. I do believe Dr. Bishon may have, personally, taken offense that I chose to use the bare minimum service to make the pain stop while still retaining a dentist I am comfortable with for major surgery. His minimum service (a temporary filling, x-ray, and exam over the course of two days) was about the same as two permanent fillings at my normal dentist. At the end of the (next) day, I can chew and the office was clean enough that i don't worry about infection. As Dr. Bishon helpfully pointed out, if I'm not happy, I can always sue him. Obviously, I'm not going back. If you choose to use Dr. Bishon's services, I recommend asking lots of questions and choosing what you believe to be the right treatment for you. If you choose less than the 'Cadillac Plan', you might want to have a thick skin. I believe Dr. Bishon to be a qualified dentist. He probably won't mutilate you. I just find his lack of professional behavior to be distasteful. UPDATE: 27 hours after my appointment ended, the filling has broken off. It is essentially, the same broken chunk of enamel I had in my gum before I went to see Dr. Bishon.
