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.

Highly Recommend Dr. Banta
I had cataract's in both eyes. I was a difficult case as I had an extreme stigmatism, odd shaped eyes and very small eyes. Just one of these circumstances makes the surgery and the calculations for new lenses very difficult. Both eyes turned out perfectly. The lenses are correct and centered perfectly. For the first time in my life I can see without glasses!!! Thank you Dr. Banta!!

He performed cataract surgery on my left eye on 4-06-16 and the entire experience from the initial visit weeks before thru the post-operative visit was outstanding. No pain, no issues. I had 20/20 vision the day after surgery. Very professional yet friendly demeanor. Clearly an extremely knowledgable physician. I'm very glad I traveled from IL for this procedure. Will recommend Dr. Banta wholeheartedly.
