Barbara S Bishop, APRN-CNP | Mechanicsville, VA

Meet Barbara

I have practiced in the field of neurology since 1985. While I see patients with a variety of neurological diagnosis and symptoms, I specialize in the care of patients diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. On a personal level, I enjoy road cycling and mountain biking along with swimming and hiking. I am team captain of the cycling team, “Beach Vortex” which rides to raise money for MS awareness.

	July 2025 Barbara Bishop, NP cares about her patients. She knows how to calm me down when I'm overthinking or stressing about everything. She tries to get me to focus.

	July 2025 Barbara Bishop was amazing! I really liked that she didn't have to be typing the whole time we were talking. I was there about trimmers and maybe having Parkinson's. As fast as possible she told me she was 98% I didn't have Parkinson's Her care plan was finding out what kind of trimmers I have!
	July 2025 She's very thorough.
	June 2025 Barbara was excellent
	May 2025 Dr bishop has been one of the most compassionate and caring doctors I have ever seen. I left the appointment feeling cared for, informed and finally hopefully. I told my family that the 8 month wait to see her was truly worth it and I would do it again in a heartbeat
	May 2025 Barbara Bishop has an excellent bedside manner and she is so patient. Even if you know she had other patients to see, I never feel rushed during my visits.
