OUR PRACTICE
Founded in 1972
Bluebird Oral Surgery (formerly Facial and Oral Surgery Center) is the longest-established oral surgery practice in Bend, Oregon.
The practice was founded by Dr. Richard Schock in 1972, and his son, Dr. Todd Schock, followed in that legacy. Our community has enjoyed more than fifty years of expertise from this father-and-son combination, and the practice continues to be regarded as a place of compassionate, attentive, expert care.
Our unique campus has evolved from a once-solitary small house flanked by an apple orchard and a stand of aspens at the base of Pilot Butte. These trees and a well-tended garden reflect our feelings of optimism, peacefulness, and hope. We are stewards of this practice, devoting our one life to the well-being of people.
THE HEART OF OUR PRACTICE
Our practice is built on core beliefs that guide our every action. We hold love and compassion as paramount, believing in the goodness of each individual and treating everyone with respect. Our commitment to service means we are dedicated to making a positive impact and enhancing the lives of those we touch. With humility, we approach each day with a beginner’s mindset, open to new learning and growth. Innovation is at our core, driving us to turn challenges into opportunities for continuous improvement and exceptional care.
