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. Bannen is a very special person to my husband

Best Doctor and Staff
Dr. Bannen is very caring and took excellent care of me. I was at death’s door and with the treatment of radiation, chemo and immunotherapy and other drugs he saved my life. I was hospitalized on 3 separate occasions and he came everyday to see me. His staff goes above and beyond to help me and all their patients. I am very grateful to Dr. Bannen and his staff.

One of the best doctors I have ever seen. Knowledgeable, caring, and comprehensive in his approach. Takes time to explain everything, from cause of illness to details of treatment program. Office staff is also superb.

There are laws that protect the patient's privacy and empower us to be stewards of our info. Therefore, I was disappointed when I contacted Dr.Bannen's records dept. The Doctor, or an agent thereof should and is required to tell patient 1.Who their records were sent to 2.What was sent 3. When the PHI was sent. Dr. Bannen was unable and unwilling to meet all 3 criteria. If you don't care about your Patient's Rights then Dr. Bannen's office won't either. Use my experience as a cautionary tale
