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.

Awesome Doctor and staff
The staff is very friendly and caring. I always felt welcome at the office, and I felt I was more like family rather than a number.Dr. Bischoff is very knowledgeable and a very good surgeon. But what I really like is Dr. Bischoff is truly warm and caring for all his patients. I have been injured twice on the job and both times Dr. Bischoff has taken care of me. My hands work very well since my surgeries. I highly recommend Dr. Bischoff regarding any type of hand injury you may have. The caring staff will treat you very well and Dr. Bischoff will do the rest.Thanks Doc.

Dr Bischoff, for a Carpal Tunnel problem
From the moment I met him I felt very comfortable with the notion that I was placing my hand in his care. He took the time to carefully detail what was wrong with my wrist and how he planned on solving the problem. His description was both graphic and descriptive. I never felt rushed as he answered my many questions.At the time of the surgery itself, I was reassured by his presence in the operating room prior to the time I was given the anesthetic. In my two office visits after the procedure he took the time to explain the recovery process and how I was progressing.All in all I have been very pleased with his care and highly recommend him to anyone dealing with a carpal tunnel problem..

Would Highly Recommend
My daughter was a patient of Dr. Bischoff and she recommended him to me. As soon as I walked in the door I knew I was in the right place. Each visit the receptionist greeted me with a smile and was very pleasant, the Nurse who took me the room was just as nice. Dr. Bischoff knew right away what was wrong with my thumb and how to fix it. He is very easy to talk to and explained everything so that I could understand it. He even made me laugh, asked if I had any questions and answered them. He has a plan for my other thumb to help me avoid surgery. Is that Awesome or what? Love this Guy. Great experience.

The doctor listened to what I had to say and was very thorough in his explanation of the procedure, and what I could expect. Everything went according to plan. Appointments were kept on time with no wasted time sitting around in the reception area. Excellent experience..

Great Surgeon
Dr. Bischoff took great care of my scaphoid wrist fracture. The office time was minimal. Loved the staff; Naomi and Aubrey. Dr. Bischoff made sure I had an x-ray and he found the tiny fracture in my wrist. He put my wrist into a cast and he never charged for the x-ray. I was back at work on Monday, three days after the accident. Highly recommended!

No call from office to schedule
I went to Dr. Bishoff because of pain in my thumb. They scheduled surgery for Dec. 19th. I couldn't go that day so I called ahead of time to cancel. I was then scheduled for 1/23, I was never called with a time to come. So I will not give a good review.

Great doctor
Dr. Bischoff did surgery on one of my hands after I had had surgery on the other hand several years ago by a different doctor. Both went well and I can highly recommend Dr. Bishoff. That said, his assistant Aubrey is an unpleasant person to deal with.

Very positive interaction with Dr. Bischoff. I had both hand and shoulder issues. He explained the hand procedures and was very straightforward in advising me that this may not resolve the shoulder issue but was a necessary and relatively easy carpal tunnel surgery. The staff at this office are friendly yet professional. The office runs like a fine machine. The doctors, in my opinion, are the greatest. I highly recommend this group in general and Dr. Bischoff in particular.

Dr. Bischoff recently did surgery on my dupuytrens contracture and everything has turned out great! I would highly recommend Dr. Bischoff as he's very easy to speak with, listens to and answers all questions and you don't feel like he's in a rush. Wish I would have had it done 2 years ago when I first saw him in lieu of putting it off.

Had hand surgery to remove a small cyst. After removing bandages and a couple of weeks to heal, I made an appointment as I was having trouble with the finger that was near the removed cyst. The finger began locking up, making it difficult to bend at the knuckle (which I had not experienced before). I was told to give it some time and love. It's been several months now and I am still having my finger lock up making it difficult to type or use the computer mouse. Won't return or recommend.

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Bischoff. He handled my complex tendon injury with grace and was extremely diligent. The healing process he put me on after surgery enabled me to get full function of my fingers back, which is almost unheard of in injuries such as mine. Dr. Bischoff was clear in his directions and swift in timing. He always answered my questions. My scar is hardly visible. I would not go to any other hand surgeon in Tulsa. Bischoff is simply the best!

Dr. Bischoff literally saved my life. He discovered rheumatoid disease in my hands before any blood work. He has done Carpal tunnel release surgery on both hands. He also did surgery on all five fingers at once on my left hand to repair. That surgery had never been done. Dr. Bischoff did that surgery in 9 minutes! My recovery was outstanding! I have recommended family and friends to him and will continue to do so. He is unequivocally the best hand surgeon in Tulsa! Bedside manner is the best!!

Dr Bischoff did surgery on my daughter's wrist after her car accident. He has been very kind, thorough & straight forward since the first appt. She's recovery well by following his instructions. He came highly recommended to us by the attending ER doctor. Her surgery was at Oklahoma Surgical Hospital & they were amazing!! They called the next week to check on her. We are happy!! Dr Bischoff's nurse is nice but she's all business. Their office is very busy so they don't have time to chit chat.

Dr Bischoff is great, but his assistant is unfriendly and uncaring. The office has no consideration of your time or schedule. 1 waited over an hour twice and over 30 minutes once - then they want to have an attitude that you are not happy about your wait! Good doc in a not so good office.
