Patient Reviews
Sep 17, 2020
I love Dr. Banks however the office staff is not very efficient. When I was sick I placed a call then had to call 48 hours later because there was no return call. After that conversation with the office staff, I then received a personal call from Dr. Banks (just love her) and she went over my history because I had not seen her in a while. Dr. Banks advised an early colonoscopy and I would receive a call before the end of August to schedule from her office staff; this is almost then end of September and I am still waiting on the call to schedule a procedure Dr. Banks felt was needed. I will be having a gentle conversation with Dr. Banks as she is the important factor in my health not the office staff.
