Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very knowledgeable, about any and every issue that you have. She is one in a million

Exactly what I need.
Crosses every T and dots every I. My attitude and determination to thrive are better knowing that all the details are studied. A kind, very smart person to boot. I have been happy with her staff, but maybe my expectations are low since I have had to march into other practices and ask for help as they don't return calls.

Don't Go to Bishko
I read all the wonderful reviews of Dr Bishko, before selecting her as my new doctor, since I was leaving a very bad neglectful medical practice that almost cost my life. I thought there was promise when she ordered A LOT of test - colonoscopy, breast exam, lab work. None of it had to do with my problems, but I trusted her. Turns out, I didn't need any of those tests. They just burned up insurance dollars. The doctors I was referred to never answer their phones, some weren't covered by my insurance, some never responded at all. We had to educate them to why we were contacting them so they could reach out to Pinellas Internal Medicine. Talk about feeling TOTALLY ABANDONED. I sat in the office for 1hr and 20mins for Dr Bishko to come in and spend 15 minutes reading a file (I don't even know if it was mine) and then dismissed me without any plan going forward. I was disgusted with the lack. I'm not the only one.

Where are you?
I had an appointment, but it was pushed out 2-1/2 months. My recent lab work was not even mentioned, even though it was extremely bad. Then, a week later... We called Pinellas Internal Medicine Associates today (Friday!) and were immediately told we had to go to a walk-in clinic because there were no doctors available (they don't work on Friday, or Saturday, or Sunday!). My wife asked where the walk-in clinic was and was told "I have no idea where you live". This is healthcare? Our doctor works 3 hours a day, 3 days a week.

Excellent Doctor
Her knowledge is extensive. She knows the best specialists. Listens as long as you keep talking. Asks the right questions. I went through three other internal medicine doctors before I was lucky enough to find her.

Amazing caring physician who listens and genuinely cares for each and every one of her patients, I have given her many referrals because I am so pleased with her. After spending 18 years with a different PCP I wish I would have known about Dr. Bishko sooner. Sweet, kind and caring, I am her patient for life!
