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.

Dr. Bank is an excellent doctor who I have had for years. He also has taken care of my husband. He is kind and compassionate and goes to great lengths to make sure his patients are well taken care of. God Bless Him.

Dr. Banks has been attentive, knowledgeable affording time to hear the patient and share his knowledge with the patient. Very proactive to setting a course of action for the patient. He was very good for the care of my husband and I started with him for my personal wellness.

Dr. Bank ignored my symptoms, dismissing the pain I had on my right side and telling me it was my brain/gut connection and I just needed antidepressants and maybe a colonoscopy. And I didn't just see him once. He blamed everything on IBS. I finally went to someone else. It turned out that I actually had a kidney problem caused by crohn's disease and I ended up losing my kidney. He's dismissive, misogynistic and very condescending. Would not recommend to anyone.

AVOID - My wife saw Dr. Banks and he performed an endoscopy. He blamed her symptoms on "wedding related stress" and was dismissive of her questions and concerns. Rather than take the time and inquire about her condition, he probably recognized he's not capable of treating her properly and said nothing was wrong with her. After traveling out of the area for medical care, we learned that my wife has a condition known as gastroparesis and Dr Bank's had recommended a diet that was potentially fatal

I had a number of procedures done by Dr. Banks. He was always prompt, professional, with good follow-up. He took time to explain things and showed a lot of both compassion and humor. I like him personally and think he is an excellent physician.

I would not recommend Dr. Leslie Bank for any type of services, Dr. Bank uses a technique called patient profiling and shows a lack of compassion for other human beings, Dr. Bank, and his colleagues are stale, and if you would like a fair shot of knowing what is wrong with you, I personally would seek treatment elsewhere.

I would not recommend Dr. Bank's services to friends or family. Dr. Bank made a specific assumption about me, my health issues, and my personal life, though his assumption was untrue, it was still bothersome to hear his opinion.

I was a patient of Les in South Africa in the 1980s. I was in my mid-twenties and living in a foreign country with no family, sick and often hospitalised. Les was kind, thorough, knowledgable and took the time to explain and discuss my ongoing condition. He 'popped in' to the ward frequently when I was an in patient. 30 years later I am still so grateful for the compassionate professionalism Les showed me.

Currently treating me for gastroparesis and has been my doctor for five years. Good listener, his prescriptions and treatments are working for me and he is easy to talk to. Also did my colonoscopy at age 60 and made it easy.
