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.

Very Competent Surgeon
My husband has had a colon resection, hernia repair, & precancerous spot all done by Dr Bangs. All went as predicted, we were informed as to what was done & what to expect. He is now repairing 3 wounds in my husband’s leg. We could not have gotten a better physician!

Dr Bangs is kind of one of those goofy super intellectuals. At least his personality is that way, don't know for sure how smart he is although I briefly saw that he was in the top 1 percent on his test. He doesn't make you uncomfortable. Not grumpy but pleasant. The kind of personality that makes me feel like he's competent and yet comfortable to be with. He was quick to diagnose my problem. It did not require surgery so I can't evaluate on that. He explained everything thoroughly.
