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. Mahmoud El Banna is an excellent doctor who truly cares about his patients. His professionalism and expertise in his field are evident in every visit. I highly recommend him for his thorough and compassionate approach to healthcare.

Excellent doctor.
Excellent doctor! He is kind, intelligent, caring, knowledgeable. Dr ElBanna listens and answers all questions. He explains carefully, truly involves me in my treatment plan and is not in a hurry. I am very grateful that he is my doctor.

Rude and insulting.
He had a orienting PA or NP with him. Very strange, belittled me, downplayed my complaints. Said I had post nasal drip not a URI. Called later in week, nurse gave me rx for infection, felt much better. His behavior very strange considering some of the other reviews I read. Some preconceived judgement of me? I don’t know but never went back.

Dr. El Banna is an exceptional physician, who not only cares, but actively tries his best to deliver the highest quality of medical care to his patients, which is unfortunately extremely rare. I recently moved and have gone to many doctors in an effort to replace him and I am grateful for telemedicine to keep him as my primary care.

Best doctor I’ve seen! He listens, spend some time with you and tries to get to the root of your problems rather than just treat the symptoms.

This is the 1st Doctor that explained to me how to eat. I have always been overweight and could never understand why I couldn't loose the weight. He sat me down and in five minutes he opened my eyes to proper nutrition. I love this Doctor. I speak to everyone about him.

I have seen Dr. El Banna several times now: twice while I was hospitalized and once in his office. I'm always impressed. He's bright, friendly, knowledgeable, respectful, and consistently professional. He doesn't rush you out the door like most physicians do today. Excellent bedside manner. Effective listener. Empathetic. Thinks outside the box. Discusses differentials and plan of action. Answers questions thoroughly. He's not into nebulous diagnoses. Bottomline: this doctor really cares.

I first chose Dr. El Banna as a primary care provider because I was interested in having a better rapport with my PCP. Being a new patient, the first visit at Dr. El Banna's office was very thorough. In addition to him getting to know me and my medical history, I also got to know him and his style of collaborating with patients. He is excellent, takes his time to get to know his patients, and I appreciate that should I ever need to be hospitalized, he will follow my care there as well.
