Thomas M. Banas

He was very rude and made us feel crazy for even being in his office. Our daughter had a non life threatening TBI.

Saw him off and on for several years. He wanted to treat my back injury with supplements his wife was selling. Other than nerve blocks and referrals out to other specialists, in all that time he really didn’t do anything else for me.

Dr. Banas is continuing to treat my wife for her Parkinson’s after first diagnosing it 3 years ago. He recognized her symptoms and prescribed meds which really have helped especially with the restless legs she was struggling with for years. He is compassionate and patiently listens, giving as much time as needed. He is an encouragement every time we visit and knows how to help whatever issues we present.

My wife visited Dr. Banas today in reference to extensive injuries suffered from an auto collision. Dr. Banas nurse barged into the restroom because my wife was putting her behind schedule and needed to hurry up. When Dr. Banas entered the room until the moment he left, he was condescending and belittling. He did not ask how my wife was doing or what she has done so far that she thinks has helped, but instead Dr. Banas told her what she is feeling. Example being she has numbness in her ring and pinky fingers when bending her elbows, Dr. Banas proceeded to tell her that she did not have numbness in them but instead had them in her index and middle fingers from carpal tunnel. During our appointment, Dr. Banas made multiple degrading remarks regarding to age, that included sly remarks about my wife not knowing how to handle this type of injury as she is too young to have ever experienced something like it before and that her inexperience is halting her recovery. Dr. Banas ended the appointment by telling my wife, who suffered from severe whiplash and completed 10 weeks of physical therapy to be allowed to visit a neurologist, that she has terrible posture and that her posture is the main reason she isn't recovering. He then stated "We could do something like MRI imaging to get a better look but those are quite costly and I can tell money is a big issue for you both, yes?" Dr. Banas does have a good grasp on neurology, but has absolutely no bedside manner or decency. We will not be recommending anyone to see him, and will defer to other institutions outside of Fort Wayne Neurological Center.

I love Dr. Banas he's the best and saved my life <3

He does a lot of talking and said he thinks out loud. I’m there because I’m not well and he tells me that I look good, as if there’s nothing wrong with me. He doesn’t discuss with and ask you ok. As far as his nurse goes, she shouldn’t be a nurse. She seldom returns phone calls. When I did speak with her one time, I mentioned cancer because I had had cancer and she blew up in the phone saying she’s not the one to be having this conversation with because she lost her daughter to cancer. Very rude

I have been struggling to get answers to the issues I'm having. I went in expecting some encouragement and a possible cause but left feeling very uneasy with no more answers than before. " You might just have to live with it!" I'll see you back in a couple months and see how your symptoms are. Just left feeling hopeless.

Dr Banas is a fabulous neurologist. Several years ago, he diagnosed my Parkinson's. While he was clinically astute, he was also compassionate and understanding. He gave my husband and I time to react and comprehend the diagnosis. He so precisely prescribed the right combination of medicines to control this disease. I have recommended him to others and assured them that he will listen , perform tests that help him properly diagnose and develop a comprehensive treatment plan.
