Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

DOCTOR NOT TO BE TRUSTED
With this doctor, it is her opinion or the highway. I was very disappointed that she has such little respect for me, her patient. When I had my last visit, we both agreed on a prescription that was working well for me. The very next day, she does not call me, but instead speaks to the pharmacy and has them change the prescription to half of what she had written. With that, I wound up having a prescription for 25% of the recommended maximum daily dosage of the drug. Totally worthless and putting my health at great risk. By the way, the prescription was not for a controlled substance. Just a few months ago, this same doctor gave me a prescription for a drug she had recommended. Turned out it did not work and it made me ill. I can't trust her any longer!

Awesome
Dr, Banu and Nancy are outstanding I had the pleasure of meeting them yesterday and can honestly say I have never been to a doctor who took the time to not only listen but to explain things to me. Nancy was great also, it is so rare to find a doctor and her staff who focus on me as a patient. Both Dr. Banu and Nancy are knowledgeable, caring and experienced professionals.

Dr. Banu is one of the best physicians: She cares!
Last week I visited Dr. Banu for an initial visit: I selected her as my Primary Care Physician based on all the excellent reviews I had read, and these were absolutely right! Dr. Banu is one of those doctors who still cares about her patients as individual persons who deserve her complete attention; she focuses on a preventative plan as well as addressing current conditions by ordering all the tests necessary to provide a complete health profile as a starting point. Her assistant Nancy, makes you feel welcome and at ease from the moment you walk in the door: she is thorough and efficient with all the paperwork, lab tests, referrals, and follow-up appointments. The office itself has a warm and inviting atmosphere with a feeling of walking into a health spa. I will definitely trust Dr. Banu and Nancy with all my health needs and will happily recommend Banu Medical Practice to my friends and family.
