Recommends Available On Time Friendly Professional Knowledgeable Nice Office Understandable Reachable Helpful StaffDr. Baban was totally what I expect from a specialized doctor. She ask me a bunch of good questions and then proceeded to give me a diagnosis and then treatment options. I ask her what she would recommend. She told me and we proceeded forward. She did an angiogram and now I have one stent. I found her to be very interested in me as a patient and as an individual. I am anxious for her to continue advising me.
