Dr. Christian Bannerman, MD

If I could write zero stars I would. This man was the most degrading “doctor” and man that I’ve ever had the experience of coming across. I am somebody that suffers from a few diseases and regularly have to go to the ER for some fluids and medications. It’s already anxiety giving enough during this time with corona to go to the hospitals let alone not be able to have a visitor. He took advantage of the fact I had nobody with me, he looked at me for a matter of one minute and asked me if I had a psychotic history, then proceeded to ask me if I do drugs. He then drug screens me and did not ask me permission. He also withheld my medication from me that is in the system, that I’ve received each and every time I’ve needed medical assurance. I asked the nurses to leave out of fear after about an hour and a half. In which, Christian allowed them to discharge me without even once coming over to see how I was. He had a smirk on his face and an ego for a physician that I’ve never seen before.

I felt extremely uncomfortable with his care in the emergency room. Was dismissive of my symptoms and made me feel bad for requesting a brain scan. One of the worst doctors I ever had to interact with. However, the rest of the staff at South Nassau Communities hospital was fantastic.
