Staff was outstanding.Sep 2025My experience was top notch!Sep 2025A well-oiled machineSep 2025My visit was truly exceptional. From the moment I checked in to my final interaction with Dr. Banks, every team member was attentive and professional. They listened carefully to my concerns and asked thoughtful follow-up questions that showed they understood my objectives.The nurse assisting me was efficient and well-prepared. She moved through each step-taking my temperature, blood pressure, and weight-with precision and foresight. Within minutes, she was ready to attach the EKG probes.Then Dr. Banks arrived and simply said, "Talk to me." She reviewed the EKG results thoroughly, directed me to the records office, and before I left, I had a copy of both the results and her assessment in hand. By the end of the day, the information had been sent to my primary care physician.Please extend my sincere thanks to the entire team. Their professionalism and care made a lasting impression.Sep 2025Outstanding service all around.Sep 2025I had a very good experience.Sep 2025The wait for physician in exam room close to 1 hourAug 2025I felt seen, heard and cared about.Aug 2025Everything goodAug 2025Everything and everyone was greatAug 2025Dr Banks is one of our favorite doctorsAug 2025Dr.Banks has been my Cardiologist for several years and has always been attentive and caring my wife passed away a few months ago who was also a patient of Dr.Banks she was very comforting in allowing me to talk she's a valuable asset to your team.Aug 2025Dr Banks is an excellent physician.Aug 2025Very on timeAug 2025I am happy to see their CareAug 2025Dr Banks is amazingJul 2025Very efficient staff.Jul 2025Dr Banks very knowledgeable and showed great concern for my situation.Jul 2025I knew going in that I would have a 30 minute appointment. The level of care I received in that short amount of time was wonderful. I was listened to and my questions were answered, and it was the most pleasant doctor's appointment I've had in quite some time.Jul 2025Dr. Banks was the first cardiologist that actually explained the tests, beginning to end. Why to have them, what do they assess, what is good about each option, why to have certain tests and why to not have others. It all made sense and now I have a better understanding of my case.Jul 2025Dr. Banks listened to all my concernsJul 2025Due to my improved health over the last few months, my next visit with Dr Banks will be in 1 year. Every one of my visits with her is important to me. I leave more informed and optimistic about my health.Jul 2025Since I have been Dr Banks' patient, she has always taken time to address all of my concerns thoroughly and patiently. Initially after my pacemaker implant, I had so many questions about the device - particularly my adjusted lifespan, options for my future health, and required lifestyle changes. Our doctor/patient association is invaluable to me. Her diagnosis probably saved my life.Jul 2025Good experience checking in and nice visit with assistant.Jul 2025Doctor listened to my questions and provided good explanation of answer.
