Daniel Bishop

Biography
Daniel Bishop is a board certified emergency medicine physician with 15 years of experience. In addition to clinical duties, Daniel has been involved in leadership, committee and administrative roles with the hospital. Daniel has obtained certification as a laboratory medical director and currently directs 2 emergency department labs. He is also certified in ketamine treatments for mental health and pain conditions. His interest in different areas of medicine stems from a desire to fix problems.
After several years in the emergency medicine field, he noticed many patients with debilitating conditions that were not adequately being treated in mainstream medicine. He met a lot of patients who were suffering with conditions but didn’t have the tools to take care of them. People with depression and other mental health conditions, people who suffer from fibromyalgia and patients with musculoskeletal ailments needed help but the answer wasn’t going to come from the emergency department. He started to branch out and studied which therapies were available to help those who weren’t able to get the treatments they needed from currently available medications and therapies.
Daniel understands how complex medical conditions can be. An individualized approach to health and wellness is essential to achieve people’s health goals. The traditional medical approach to disease involved isolating and treating a specific deficiency or dysfunction. It assumes that the symptoms the patient is experiencing are due to a single specific abnormality that can be treated directly. This holds true for some conditions such as broken bones and heart attacks but doesn’t work for many ailments. Many symptoms are the result of an ongoing interaction between environment, genetics, epigenetics, hormones, inflammation, mental health, lifestyle, and trauma. Not all medical problems can be isolated, so the entire person needs treatment, not just the symptoms.
Daniel is continually learning and seeking new ways to apply new technologies and treatments to meet his patient’s needs. With all new treatments, Daniel dives into the scientific literature to evaluate the therapies and technologies to determine which are safe and effective before putting them into practice.
