Very caring doctor & nice office staff.
I would like THANK Dr. Banki for her time,care,education and patience. It means a lot.
Everyone was very kind, I am very grateful!
Great experience. Dr Banki not only knows her medical expertise but she is a very caring person. She reassured me l would be ok and I am!! So glad I had the surgery.
Dr. Banki's care has given me my life back! My acid reflux has bothered me since 2009. I was unable to eat what I wanted, always sick, during the night and day. I just wanted to give up. Since her procedure, I can finally sleep at night, and not get sick. I can lay flat in my bed for the first time since 2003! Wow she has Blessed me with a new lease on life with no more pain. Another, extremely important thing about her is her genuine care and love for her surgical patients is if she is going to do surgery on you, she tells you BEFORE THE PROCEDURE that she will be around in case her patient needs her after the procedure. She WILL NOT LEAVE, GO ON VACATION OR HOLIDAY while her patient is in the hospital. That means so much! Knowing if you have a problem , she can be reached. Dr. Banki is just really special in my eyes and she will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart. I truly believe, for the second time (2nd surgery) in my life, she saved my life. Nothing means more than that to me and my family.
It was a lot of info to take in and schedules were not yet set as to the three required visits, pre op blood draw, endoscopy and hernia operation. I called today to remind them [...] has a Port of the blood draw. She has tiny veins and really prefers you use her Port I asked if they have a person experienced in accessing a Port.
Yes, Dr. Banki has been very kind and thoughtful and thorough. She listens and she, you know, looks for the best solution for the situation. And when I had a problem with one of the doctors in-house, the charge nurse here in the hospital and the office staff took care of that. And they got me switched to another doctor who actually listened and was kind and nice and was taking care of, you know, things. So yeah, that's why I gave a nine out of 20 because it was one person and it was a doctor. It was a hospitalist doctor that I was assigned to upon admission. But they, like I said, they got that switched when I voiced my complaint. So yeah, that's about it. But Dr. Banki, I think is great.
Dr. Banki is the best! She is knowledgeable and listens to my concerns. I highly recommend her. She puts you at ease and you feel safe in her care.
Dr. BANKI is definitely an advocate for her patients, above and beyond. I also trust her knowledge and expertise.
