“This is a very organized office. I waited in my car until they called me in, then they took my temperature and showed me the office. I arrived 15 minutes early and they took me as soon as I arrived. The doctor was attentive and I did not feel rushed at all. The only aspect I found odd (but perhaps this is standard), is that the front desk gave me the billing code for a procedure; I have to call the insurance provider myself to see if it is covered. ”

August 20, 2019Lee K.Verified patient
I’ve been to different dermatologists before and Dr. Banker made me feel very comfortable. It’s easy to feel super self conscious at a dermatology office. And chances are you googled everything before coming in. But she addressed all my questions with professional knowledge and left feeling better. I have already referred her to my family. The office is new and clean, the staff was very nice as well.
