I got to my appt. on time and they took me right in. I only had to wait for about 5 minutes until the doctor came in to see me. In the meantime the nurse took my blood pressure and got up to date with my medications....all very easy
Seen on time by Doctor.Discussed the options of treatment.
Dr. Banka is incredibly knowledgable, kind and patient. His memory of his patients extends beyond what I've experienced elsewhere. For example, he not only recalls the ailments, but also what I do for work. I never feel rushed during our visits - instead he patiently asks "is there anything else on your mind?". This is refreshing. It's this approach and his attention to subtle details that make a huge difference in patient experience.
Alway courteous and respectful.
He explained to me the results of my echocardiogram and he said the results are the same
