Dr. Banegura was very professionally and knowledgeable. After patiently listening to my symptoms he was able to make a quick diagnosis and immediately start treatment.

I had an early morning appointment and after I was called back, I was seen very quickly. I usually have a later appointment and have to wait even after being called back. I was very happy with the quickness of being seen at this last appointment. I also appreciate the fact that Dr. Banegura takes the time to listen. He never makes me feel like I am rushed or that he is in a hurry to move onto the next patient. That is very reassuring.
