I highly do NOT recommend Dr. Banker because he has the worst bedside manner that I have ever encountered. I went to Dr. Banker because I thought I had something stuck in my tooth. Dr. Banker couldn't find what I thought I felt and immediately became very rude to me. He flossed my tooth and then took a polisher to ostensibly file down a chip in my tooth. He then said, "Is your problem better?" and when I hesitated in my answer, because my tooth now just felt different, he said, "It's simple - a yes or no question!" In a way that I can only describe as rude and degrading, he continued to badger me, saying repeatedly, "Are you or are you not better? I don't know what you are feeling." I again hesitated, and he said angrily, "Look, do you want to just sit here?" Then he started polishing my tooth again, and at this point, I was quite frankly flabbergasted at his behavior and scared at his short temper. When he stopped polishing my tooth, I quickly told him I was better simply to get out there - and I will NEVER go back to him again. My description doesn't really do justice to the interaction, but I say again that it was horrible - and I do NOT recommend him.

I know this doctor: 6 years
