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.

Have been going to Dr. Bander since the mid 80's. He has been great through the years. Thanks Dr.

Had I done this a year ago I would have given 5 stars. Unfortunately, I have now had a bad experience and will not be returning. I was treated rudely by the staff and billing when questioning why I was charged for 2 office visits on the same visit. I went in for a physical and was asked about my medications...apparently being asked about your medications is not part of a physical. Not sure how and I have made several inquiries to other Dr offices as well as my insurance to confirm. This is not true. Very unfortunate as I have been happy here for years. They handled this poorly and lost me and my son as clients.

My Family and I have been patients since 1996 (22years). He is a great doctor and has a great nurse practioner and a very kind staff. I have never been treated badly. I even took my elderly parents to him. My children love him still and they are grown. Thorough and knowledgable intuitive and competent

I have recommended many friends to Dr Bander's office. He is thorough and wholly focused on me (you) the patient.

I would give less stars if possible but had to do at least one. Worst experience ever...i made appointments for myself and 2 kids. 2 days before our appointments, they call and tell me they forgot they don't take children under 6 YO, so I cancel the kids appointments and decide to still go to mine. Big mistake, I get there and end up waiting over an hour and finally leave unseen by the Dr. (Which was a physical so of course I couldn't eat or drink prior to the visit that ended up almost mid da

Bander is a phenomenal diagnostician; he picks up on the symptoms you think are minor. So much better than doctors who just want to throw another pill at your problems. I keep trying to talk my boss into trying Bander just once; she's been having the same issues for over a year now, and all her current doctor does is give her more pills (it's just not working).

I was upset when my insurance changed my PCP. After seeing Dr. Bander the first time, I found him to be an excellent PCP. He was patient and took the time to listen to me. The tests he ordered were done in his office and I was called with the results a few days later. The staff were friendly and efficient, most especially the Lab Techs who drew my blood. It's difficult to draw my blood and both got it right the first time. I am so happy to have found Dr. Bander and highly recommend him.

I was nervous having to go to a new doctor but Dr. Bander & his office staff eased my mind immediately. Dr. Bander made me feel like I was his only patience that day. He talked to me like I was a new friend he was getting to know. I never felt like I was being grilled about my health. He was understanding, sweet & very funny. The best bedside manner I have ever had with a doctor. His office staff was just as wonderful.

Carol (the nurse practitioner who shares an office with Dr. Bander) is an intelligent, concise, and caring medical health professional, as are the other lovely nurses. Dr. Bander is a very unsympathetic, insensitive, and rude man who makes no attempt at bedside manner. He can be found rolling his eyes, scoffing, and insulting his patients, as well as cracking sardonic jokes at their expense. A patient can often find him or herself waiting up to two hours past his or her initial appointment time.
