Dr. Bishop’s dream of becoming a physician was sparked during a childhood riddled with numerous visits to her exceptionally kind and caring Pediatrician in her hometown of Lake City, Florida. This dream began to blossom further at the age of 15 while teaching a newly immigrated Chinese gynecologist how to speak English. At this time, Dr. Bishop (then McNair), was first introduced to Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. After having Acupuncture treatments by this physician that were highly successful (surprisingly, to this American southern bred teen…!), she was determined to eventually have a medical practice that blended the best of what both the Western and Eastern medical traditions had to offer. Thirteen years of training, followed by nine years of medical practice in the U.S. have enforced her belief in the need for the use of the tools offered to us from both Eastern, Traditional Medicine and the Western, conventional medical world in which she received her primary medical education. Opening HealthWell MD, an Integrative Medicine and Primary Care practice in Mooresville, NC is the culmination of this belief and result of her many observations while maneuvering through the complexities of the current U.S medical system.

Dr. Bishop became Board Certified in Family Medicine after completing residency at Brody School of Medicine at ECU and added a second Board Certification in Palliative Medicine in 2012.

Integrative physician consultations take a broader view of all aspects of a patient’s health. The term “integrative” means that we take the best of conventional medicine and integrate the best of the complementary therapies that have evidence to back up their use.
