Dr. Banffy had zero interest in my case and spend a total of 2.5 minutes with me in total. If I wasn't a case he was interested in, it would have been nice to know that prior to scheduling an appointment. Very disappointing-

Dr Banffy is great at doing all of the above except I'm hoping at my pre-op he'll explain what he'll be doing in the surgery next week since I don't know what it's called or exactly what he'll be doing to fix it.

Given that I had anticipated seeing my surgeon since this was my first postop visit the PA was not anticipated, nor did I have the same level of confidence in her knowledge of my situation. She did give good feedback, and she did listen well.

He's not much on talking but is an excellent surgeon. I would appreciate it if he would take a bit more time to address patient concerns post operatively.

This was the second visit the first one was bad but this second one was worse, definitely not coming back he is condescending and sarcastic. He doesn't seem to care much about my pain.

I had been before many times and was planning to have both hip surgeries done here but Banffy was so awful to me yesterday that I have zero confidence in his ability to complete a successful surgery or help at all with any care involved. He told me plan first visit then said he would make plan once he opened up my hip. He didn't show up for my last appointment at all and the resident made plans for injections for pain prior to surgery. He said he doesn't help with pain and didn't care at all about the care plan made even though he is too important to even be involved. Surgeons have to do more than cut. He's a loser so I'm finding another facility and dr for my bilateral hip repairs.

Again, while the doctor provided a well understanding of the treatment, I did not receive the risks and felt rushed through the process. I've never had surgery, and without a doubt, the doctor didn't have an understanding or empathy about it.
