I was assigned Dr Banda by my plan, "Anthem Blue Cross" I absolutely loved him. He is a great Doctor, unlike many other doctors Ive had in the past that usually rush me through the visit and dont actually listen. So many times Ive been to doctors that already have it made up in their mind how they want to diagnose me without even listening to what I have to say and nothing ever gets treated properly. I loved that he wasnt like that. THAT BEING SAID... dont sign up with him because the reception area staff is lazy, they dont return calls, they act like they dont want you there, they act like you are a nuisance, they act like their time is more important than yours, they talk and gab the whole time you are there and wont buckle down and get things moving efficiently and you are left there to wait for hours for your appointment. They are rude unfriendly and full of themselves. For AN ENTIRE MONTH/TWICE A WEEK, I left messages saying that my meds were almost out, and that I needed him to sign my disability paperwork and I was having stomach pain and they never called me back.... NEVER! Doc Banda said he was willing to sign the disability paperwork after looking at the MRI, however, I made the mistake of switching to another doctor before having him sign the paperwork because those wenches in the front wouldnt let me get with him about it or even call me back, (I guess I should have walked in then, instead of switching doctors first, but WHO HAS TO DRIVE 20 miles to make an appointment after calling for a month with no call back?) I was upset. But I decided to walk into their office with fruit from my tree and a smile to ask if they would ask Dr Banda to sign the paperwork and they said they couldnt because He wasnt my doctor anymore. They wouldnt let me talk to him. In my opinion they were keeping him from me so he wouldnt know how I was being treated. I explained to them how many messages I left and all the lady at the window would say to me was...and I quote... "Well, I never heard any of the messages myself, I dont know what to tell you", then she told me she wasnt the person who does call backs. I asked her if she would find out about it and she said they were too busy and that she was sorry. I said goodbye and walked out and I cried in my car for an hour before I was able to drive away, you have no idea the disability Im living with and how hard its been to get this going. The new doctor I have is making me go through all that crap over again and Im going to lose part of my settlement due to lapse of time. Im suing those ladies in the front after I get my case established for the money they caused me to loose.

This doctor IS NOT board certified so he cannot be reported to the board unfortunately. As one who has had to spend many hours in medical practices for cancer, kids sick, etc- and professional medical experience (Im a CLS and nursing student), these ratings are unfortunately highly accurate. I seen this doctor once after having to change insurances. I experienced every scenario mentioned here (except patients begging for pain killers). In fact, I went in for a knee problem. Did not ask for a rx but walked out with a rx for a painkiller. Personally I do not take them but respect others who may need them. Doctor has sign posted near front door that he will not prescribed vicodin and that is a good thing but certainly most painkillers are not harmful or addicting. Educating the patient on their proper use is mandated and this doctor does not do that. I was given a rx with no direction o even a check on my rx allergies! He is a walking lawsuit. Not all pain killers are created equal so the previous posters post comes from an area of ignorance. Probably written by one of the staff quite frankly as I saw one website where every single rating was obviously written by the staff or the doctor himself. This doctor has a "third-world" attitude and all that goes with it. No respect for patients, or humans at that. He would be better off practicing medicine in a group practice where he can be monitored but wait, I think he came from that situation. It might be why he is out on his own. Makes sense. In the 2 1/2 hours I sat in his office, I had the chance to see a lot of all that was posted here and I assure you I am not addicted to drugs. I heard a breast cancer patient upset because referrals were not done. I heard the management staff in the back scrambling to find the paperwork to no avail. One assistant and the doctor speak only spanish in front of patients. Sanitation protocols not followed by staff at any point in the office. I was told Id have a referral. Two months later and have yet to have one. I read these reviews before going in for my appointment so I knew what to expect. They said Id be given a referral and I just knew better. Getting through on phone is literally impossible so I am moving on.

Doctor Banda is nothing but a CROOK!! Your waisting your time, energy, and LIFE if you are going to have him as your doctor! He is doing a lot of things illegally in his office. A pill doctor is all he and everyone in his office is, and WILL get caught eventually. The wait time in the waiting room varies up to 1 to 3 HOURS. Its insaine! Then,, once you do get in a room its another hour or 2 before he comes in to only spend 5 minutes with you to tell you he doesnt have your test results or whatever your needing, every single time. All he has to say is, I dont know, shrugging his shoulders. If you need some information sent somewhere you literally have to call them 100 times, if your not disconnected every time from being put on hold for so long that it disconnects you. You have to go up to his office personally to get and transfer your information, basically babying them because they cant do their jobs! I cant believe this practice is still open! He is nothing but a PILL DOCTOR He writes people prescriptions of whatever they want as long as they pay him too. Without even visiting the patients, they just walk in the door, go to the counter, tell them what pills they want, pay their fee and walk right out the door without ever even seeing him. That is definitely NOT LEGAL! He will be reported and caught. He will pay for all the bad he is doing.

ive been to doctor banda for 2 years now. Theyve given me test results over the phone which is illegal. I suffer from severe neck pain and they misdiagnosed me for a year and a half with scoliosis. Put me on a bunch of meds for the pain then out of the blue just stopped prescribing them because my scoliosis all the sudden doesnt exist. He just writes prescriptions and doesnt think. I always feel like im consoling the staff just so i can be seen close to my appointment time. Went in recently due to sever swelling in my neck and he says "i dont see any swelling, hold your head straight " and procedes to twist my neck even though i told him it hurt. I went home and cried for an hour. He doesnt listen, he doesnt order the correct tests, his staff is over emotional, and patients information is spread out everywhere. I am surprised this office has stayed afloat so long. Im done seeing him and im contemplating filing a complaint because im in a lot worse shape then when i first walked in there. Dont take meds from him without researching first. He has prescribed me a deadly combination before and it wasnt pointed out to me until i filled them at the pharmacy and the pharmacist told me. I feel bad for the people he has hooked on drugs in there. I almost became one of them. No more.
