Bank Leslie MD

I saw Dr. Bank for three years. Each time he gave me a different diagnosis (Crohns, Colitis), with very little explanation of how he came to that conclusion or why the diagnosis had changed. He did a colonoscopy. A year later he told me that I needed both a colonoscopy & an endoscopy. We scheduled the procedure for 11 days later. I did all the prep, came to the office, got on the gurney with an IV in my arm, was wheeled into the room, and he looked at me & said "We weren't going to do a scope for you, were we?" He had no idea who I was or why I was being scoped. The nurse told me later that he had written notes that morning that made it clear that he had no idea he was about to go in and do a scope. He thought it was an office visit. He had not even read the notes from our previous appointment! I woke up after the scope and he told me I had IBS. I asked him what made him think that. He couldn't answer. He told the nurse to give me a pamphlet & left. I have NEVER had any IBS symptoms. I went to Dr. Marahaba after this and he is FAR more knowledgeable. more

I Highly recommend Leslie Bank. He is a dedicated physician with a human side who cares for the welfare of his patients. You couldn't ask for a better Gastroenterologist. more

I went to him. He did an endoscopy on me in his office with only a spray anesthetic. I thought I would choke to death. I never went back..not after that. more

If your looking for a gastroenterologist that cares about his patients Leslie Bank is the doctor for you. Not only is this doctor up to date on all medical research and applications involving his specialty but he is one of the most compassionate and caring physicians I have ever had. His wit puts all his patients at ease which makes the patient comfortable with uncomfortable proceedures. He is the best in his field. Once in a lifetime a physician like Leslie Bank comes along. more
