Happy Patients

As a new patient with Drs. Bishop and Takemoto I can’t begin to express my gratitude for all that they’ve done for me. It was my first experience with a dental implant and Dr. Bishop handled everything from beginning to end (6 months!!!) with the utmost precision and professionalism. Plus they have the most up to date equipment and technology. As a patient you want your dentist to be aware of the newest techniques in their industry, especially when you’re having a procedure as contemporary as a dental implant.

You want a team that is innovative, knowledgeable and well informed in their industry. I found all of that in Bishop/Takemoto denistry. It was a long process and they were there for me the whole way. The whole staff is exceptional and you can tell they actually love what they do. From the minute you walk into the office, DeeAnn and Pam greet you with a smile and a friendly hello. Lori is the most gentle hygienist and extremely thorough. Kristine and Julie are Dr. Bishop’s right hand (and left) assistants who make you feel incredibly comfortable.

I have to say not everyone enjoys going to the dentist but Bishop/Takemoto’s office is not only the most professional but also the most comfortable office to walk in to. It’s the most relaxed I’ve ever been in a dentist chair!!! — Sally Fisher, Boulder

Thank all of you again for working me in so quickly on both of my recent dental emergencies, and for taking such wonderful care of me. I have never felt that I was in such good hands as I do now. It is so refreshing to come to a dental practice in which everyone, without exception, is professional yet caring, efficient yet all the time making me feel as if I were the only patient in your practice. It is such a treat to be cared for by such upbeat, happy and fun-loving people who, by some miracle, manage to get everything done in the most capable and professional way imaginable.

Judging by the sense of happiness and wellbeing of the staff, I have no doubt that Drs. Takemoto and Bishop are the best employers. It's so rare to go into a business in which the people who work there are truly happy and want to be of such help to the clients, no matter what it takes. So needless to say, I feel very blessed to have been referred to you by Dr. Gregg Rogers. For the first time in over 40 years, I not only don't dread going to the dentist... I can't wait to come because I know in advance that it's going to be a wonderful experience in every way. Thank you for providing a way for me to heal from my phobia of going to the dentist! — Elizabeth Bethea, Boulder

My whole family and I have been very happy patients as long as we have lived in Boulder — 19 years. As the elder statesman of the crew, my needs have been different from those of my children. In particular, I have had numerous old fillings (some 40 years old) replaced. In two cases, the fillings on lower molars were so large that they couldn't feasibly be replaced.

Dr. Bishop installed two perfectly fitting and comfortable gold crowns. Why gold? Dr. Bishop explained that there is no substitute in terms of durability. While many, including myself, would opt for a more natural looking crown on more visible teeth the gold crowns proved perfect for this application. I liked the fact that I had a choice (many dentists no longer work with gold) and that my options were explained to me so thoroughly. — Michael Klatman, Boulder

When we began our "project" almost a year ago to restore the teeth in the middle of my mouth ("All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth!") I was terrified. But now, there's a happy smile at the end of that trail and I couldn't be more pleased. Your experience and positive, gentle spirit made this a reality. Your excellent reputation is justified!

Thank you for everything you did to make this successful and as comfortable a process as possible. Special thanks, also, to your wonderful staff. From the front door of your office to every cubicle throughout, caring people exemplify professionalism and a special presence. You have an outstanding team. They are each very special. — Caroline Thompson, Boulder

My family and I have been patients of Dr. Takemoto for about 10 years. We have all received excellent service from the hygienists and Dr. Takemoto. The front desk staff are excellent long term employees. I rate them all with five stars. — Carol Wimert, Boulder

Dr. Bishop has been our family dentist for over 20 years. There has never been an instance in which we were not completely satisfied with the services and staff. I recommend him to my friends, family and co-workers. My husband and I have three sons and his staff has been cleaning their teeth since they were young children.

One of our sons recently chipped his front tooth and I was able to get an appointment the same day. His staff is always friendly and they make kids feel comfortable and at ease when their teeth need to be worked on. The front desk staff is very helpful in answering insurance and billing questions. They have all of our family’s dental records on their computer database. This makes it easy to know which dental services are due and which ones are coming up within the year.

As long as Dr. Bishop is in the practice of dentistry, we will never change dentists. To sum it up, Dr. Bishop and his entire staff make you feel like you’re visiting them at their own homes. — Stephany Granillo, Boulder

I have been a client/patient of Bishop & Takemoto Dentistry for over 20 years. These good doctors are special people! My dental health has improved in their care. I appreciate the up-to-date dental technology and the personal attention that I receive. The hygienists and office staff are friendly, competent and knowledgeable. You get help with insurance and billing matters. I have never been kept waiting for an appointment and emergency office visits are quick to schedule. Because I have been cared for by both Doctors Bishop and Takemoto, I feel confident in recommending their excellent dentistry. — John Bowman

Dear Dr. Takemoto -- I just came home after an "emergency" visit to your office for my son's toothache. I was pleased that you were able to see him so quickly after he told me about his discomfort. We were both relieved when you told us we could leave for our beach vacation with no worries. He commented on your great laugh and seemed pleased that he could not remember a time when you were not his dentist. I just nodded & smiled as he drove home feeling confident, as this was his first outing as a new teenage driver!!! — Vicki N., North Boulder
