I had previously wrote a wonderful review about this office however, because of the recent negative experiences I have had I decided to revise my review and warn all parents. Originally, Dr. Banks did everything correctly (so I thought being a first time parent). I have never been so upset at someone before. Long story short, she does not provide any education on why she does things like give vaccinations on areas of the body she should not be injecting, did not provide any knowledge (no matter how many questions my husband and I asked) regarding what side affects or reactions our LO may have. Needless to say, there were side affects, we had to rush to emergency due to the lack of knowledge and education that was not provided by Dr. Banks. Every time we asked a question she would tell us our son would be fine or give us this laid back response that never answered our questions. Also, she failed to give our son one of his vaccinations and we did not know this until we visited his doctor. At that point our son was too old to receive it. She would only tell us how many vaccines he was receiving during his visits and never what vaccine and why.
Before rushing my son to emergency we called her twice and 1.5 months later we have not received a call. Note: we waited 45 mins for a call and nothing. We sat in the hospital with our LO crying non-stop while doctors checked and observed him. Next 24 hours passed and we still did receive a call or an apology for not getting back to us. After a week we were able to switched doctors and offices. They never even bothered to ask why we were switching to a different office that has no relation to Dr. Banks. This shows me how little they truly care.
We are now taking our son to ProHealth in Lake Success where they have exceeded our expectations. Unfortunately, we had to go through a bad experience to learn what a truly caring doctor is. ProHealth goes above and beyond to ensure the parents of their patients are thoroughly educated and they do not rush visits or treat children like cattle. read more
