“Dr. Banegas was wonderful! Her bedside manner was warm and inviting and immediately made my teenage son feel comfortable. She let him know that she was available to him anytime he needed. She explained all medications and protocols with compassion and understanding.
Thrilled we found her!”

Getting to know Dr. Marta E Banegas
The treatment of children and adolescents has been the focus of my career. For over 20 years, I have worked on inpatient units treating children and adolescents while also working with medical students and residents in general psychiatry and child psychiatry. I completed my medical school training at Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Honduras Facultad de Ciencias Medicas, followed by residency at Hospital Materno Infantil and Illinois State Psychiatric Institute. I also completed a fellowship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the Institute for Juvenile Research.
At this point in my professional career, I am concentrating on the outpatient treatment of children, adolescents, and healthy young adults.

Dr. Banegas is great! She is a lively communicator and is comfortable to talk to. Only thing I'll say is that she can take a while to get back to you if for whatever reason you have to communicate with her between appointments. Overall I recommend her, though.

Dr. Banegas changed my life. I’ve been dealing with mental health issues since 2011, and Dr. Banegas has been the only psychiatrist who was able to develop a treatment plan that has completely resolved ALL my issues and did it from a non-judgemental, empathetic, and resolution-focused mindset. I wish I found her sooner, but life has gotten so much better since I started seeing her!

She is relatable and helpful. She listens, asks questions to help you explain your situation, and provides options to try for solutions. Aside from providing help, she is kind and friendly and makes you feel comfortable being honest about yourself.
March 16, 2021Alejandra K.Verified patient
This doctor took me on as a patient, only to get angry with me during an appointment for being honest and she admitted that she should’ve never taken me on as a patient. Extremely unprofessional.
