Dr. Rajesh Banker, MD

Terrible professionalism. Something is seriously wrong with this guy. I saw him berate this staff for no reason except for his pure enjoyment???

Very efficient doctor. Easy to understand.

I've been a long time patient of Dr. Banker's, and I've had several procedures done. Dr. Banker was great at explaining my conditions and taking me through all the steps that would take place. He has literally saved my life. Soft spoken with a great bedside manner. He treats me with dignity and respect. He really cares about his patients!

I would highly recommend Dr. Banker. He is kind, patient, and thorough. He explained the procedures and left the final decision to me.

Dr Banker is an exceptional cardiology doctor. I am forever great full for what he has done for me.

Dr Banker spent a lot of time mapping my heart prior to doing any cauterizing to my heart to break the electrical circuit that was causing irregular heart beat. It is wonderful to be back in sinus rhythm on a regular bases. His staff was very engaged in my process from the 1st meeting to my last appointment.

Dr. Banker's diagnostic skills and surgical prowess were instrumental in curing my VT heart arrhythmia through Ablation therapy. Great Job...

Dr Banker...The Best!! RB

excellent. he performed a 5 hour procedure to remove a necrotic ICD and various leads accumulated over 23 years. he recently implanted my 7th device with no issues. Quiet, thoughtful man, knowledgeable and competent.

Dr Banker was very prompt, kind and explained all procedures thoroughly! I would highly recommend him for any Cardiologist procedure! The office was excellent as well! Keep up the great work!

Dr. Banker performed a heart ablation on me august 2020; a star trek like procedure. He is a very comfortable, empathetic doctor that clearly knows his stuff. As a result, I now have zero heart beat irregularity and feel so much better. I highly recommend him. A good guy.

I was highly recommended to Dr Banker by a senior cardiologist at Kaiser Permanente when I lost my Kaiser coverage. Dr Banker was patient with me during my early visits as he knew I was reluctant to do the procedure he recommended to resolve my issue. He allowed me to try other approaches first which did not work. Then I settled in and agreed to the initially recommended procedure. He was very thorough explaining what to expect pre-op, during, and the expected outcome along with the expected success rate. The doctor assisting Dr. Banker during the operation said he spent extra time during surgery to make sure the outcome would be successful. His office staff is also very professional. I highly recommend Dr. Banker.

Dr Rajesh Banker is known throughout Southern California as one of the best Cardiac surgeons around. I was referred to him from another Cardiac surgeon of which I am grateful. I recently had a surgical procedure to correct an SVT issue that has plagued me for decades. He and his entire surgical staff at his offices and at Hoag CATH LAB in Newport Beach were nothing short of wonderful. Everything was amazing from the surgery, his professionalism, the hospital care and to his entire team gave me back my quality of life. THANK YOU! Literally LIFE CHANGING experience. I couldn't be happier with my results and thrilled to be able to so highly recommend him to you. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone. Actually, if you were a family member or friend, in need of his speciality, I'd insist you see him!

Dr. Banker implanted my pacemaker several months ago, and I have a new life! I am so fortunate to be in his care.

I was referred to Dr Banker by my Cardiologist, whom I love. Apparently Dr. Banker is the best known person for Afib in Orange County. My husband works with some people at Medtronic who support the ablations in Orange County and they all said he’s the only one to go to. So I saw him, was really impressed by his confidence and knowledge, and eventually had an ablation with him (delayed by the Coronavirus thing). I haven’t had any Afib since. I’m really happy with the procedure and Dr Banker. He’s really easy to trust, and I saw that pretty quickly once I started talking with him. He never told me I had to have an ablation or pressured me like I feel I get the bums rush from a lot of doctors (and dentists!). All he did was give me options and the pros and cons. I got to choose, and I’m really happy with my choice. It’s pretty obvious after talking to everyone that he’s the best there is around here and probably in California, and I’m pretty lucky he’s close by.

I’m not wordy. Had atrial fibrillation. Emphasis on had. Had an ablation. I’m another success story. Sent my son to see him.

Spent considerable time with me, and I felt really comfortable with how he explained atrial fibrillation and how it affected me. He gave me a plan that I’m following now, with medication that is controlling my afib really well. I really liked how I could understand everything and the reasoning for what I’m supposed to do. I’d recommend him highly! And his nurse is really nice too!

While I'm sure Dr. Banker is a competent electrocardiologist, his bedside manner and ability to follow up is absolutely awful. The overall feeling during my visit was that I was wasting his time. He made some changes to my medication that were flagged by a pharmacist as unusual and inconsistent with dosing practices, and it was nearly impossible to reach the doctor to work out whether the prescription was correct or not. It took nearly a month to fix it, and in the end another cardiologist had to review the prescription for Dr. Banker's nurse because she couldn't get him to review it. I understand that doctors are busy but this could have seriously affected my health. I am not at all confident that if I have an ablation procedure with Dr. Banker that I will receive good aftercare and follow-up, and am very likely to seek out a second opinion/different specialist who feels my case and my health are worth their time.

He doesn't explain what is going on. The nurse at the hospital had to tell me what I had, then I had to look it up on the internet to inform myself.

The best!!
