Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Nice Guy, Great Surgeon
Dr. Banwart did my hip revision. He did the incision in a completely different area than other surgeons on previous prosthetic hip surgeries. It aided in the rapid healing and was less intrusive. He has a great personality, professional bedside manner, and skillful surgeon. His continuing care has been great.

Hip replacement problems
Dr Banwart is much better at knee replacements than post operative hip replacement problems. If you have problems later, he always says its your back (even if a MRI shows torn muscles).

Dr Banwart did a total hip replacement for me in April 2010 and a revision the following year. I had a great experience and recovered quickly. I felt blessed to have him for my surgeon and his wife, Lynda is great at giving knee injections:)

Dr. Banwart had been telling me for some time that I needed knee replacement because the arthritis was so bad in my knees, but more severe in one. After experiencing so much pain that I groaned with every step I took, I was finally convinced that I just had to get it done. I had surgery a week ago and have done extremely well. Dr. Banwart is a good surgeon and a very nice doctor who takes time to talk to explain procedures, and to ask for any concerns you might have.

I woke up from surgery paralyzed and in intense nerve damage pain. He just said over and I am so sorry. I am so sorry. He did not treat the huge mistake which would have made a huge difference. He ignored it completely. Kept telling me to wait 2 weeks each apt. Then he said wait 2 years! Statute of limitations. .. I now have incomplete paralysis and chronic regional pain syndrome along with other damagestuff as your body is constantly trying to over compensate for the damage done. More

Very inept. Lost my tests and records; confused me with seeing another doctor. Dr. himself stated to me contradictory diagnosis. Saw only nurses and PAs. Spent no more than a total of 5 minutes with the doctor himself over a 5 month period. He was never available for explanations or questions - everything was done through his nurses - generally after I had to call and ask. When I asked for clarification, their responses were always, I don't know. That's just what he said to tell you. Horrible
