Patient Reviews
Dec 11, 2019
I feel that many Doctors have lost their way when it comes to patient care but, not Dr Banas. I have gone to him since August due to a shoulder issue and each time I go he takes the time to listen and give every suggestion he could think of to resolve my pain. My last visit he asked two Doctors in his practice to review my MRI to see if they would have a different treatment plan than he has. You don't get this care at Geisinger folks! Geisinger wants your money but, Dr. Banas wants to help you. Look no further and make your appointment with him. You will not be disappointed.
