I never write reviews, but this had to be shared. Dr Banooni has been my Dr awhile, then I moved further away and tried to find to find a new Dr. Others did their job, but not like Dr. Banooni. She listens, she’s kind and compassionate. She doesn’t make you feel rushed or that you’re just a number. I’ve decided that she is worth the drive when I need to see the Dr. I spoke to a few peers who have the same insurance as well, and they too have the same feeling about Dr. Banooni. I am very thankful for her and I hope she never retires. She truly is the best! Thank you!!

"Beside Manner", There is an art to it. And Dr Banooni is an incredible artist where this is concerned. She listens, she laughs, she encourages health, she calms, and she cares. I have what is known as "white coat hypertension" and no other doctor has ever been able to bring it down. She used her magic and I left there with the same accurate low reading I get at home. That never happens. I have not been to a doctor in a long time because it is not an art anymore - it is not science either - it is all business and it all turns into one scary thing. Dr Banooni is able to stradle the forgotten art and the science of it all while also dealing with the business at the same time. I am relieved to find someone like her to be my primary care physician. Friends of mine who are her patients assured me that she was special. That is an understatement.

Dr. Banooni made a very good decision to persuade me to go to the ER immediately. Although I have been told by my previous ER visit just 3 days prior that I did not have issues with my kidney, this time around, It turned out that I DO have a kidney leakage.
