In Her Patients’ Own Words…
I have rarely had such a perfect experience, and I’ve been to a zillion doctors. The pleasantness, sensitivity, kindness,helpfulness, thoughtfulness, professionalism were all amazing and deeply reassuring.

Dr. Banik is exceptionally thorough, gentle and skilled. She took the time to evaluate my case and make recommendations that no one other physician would. Thanks to Dr. Banik, I am free of headaches that plagued me for months.

Dr. Banik is special. Yes, she’s exceptionally trained, but more than that, she is unhurried, thorough, and answers questions. My condition is rare, and treating it is an art, not just a science. Dr. Banik has achieved exceptional outcomes for me when others could not. I am privileged to have found her.
– Adam, 59
I was referred to Dr. Banik by the former chief of Neuro-Ophthalmology at Yale who gave Dr. Banik the highest recommendation.
I was having trouble with my distance vision. After a very careful and thorough eye exam, Dr. Banik correctly diagnosed the issue: I needed cataract surgery. Dr. Banik performed the surgery. Recovery from the surgery was easy and my vision is much improved.
I have happily and enthusiastically recommended Dr. Banik to family and friends. Everyone who has seen her is delighted with Dr. Banik’s careful eye exam and expertise. She is a very caring medical professional.
– Amy, 65
Dr. Banik is the light at the end of the tunnel.
My right eye was very red for a long time. After being misdiagnosed and treated by a group of ophthalmologists for a long time without any improvement, I was lucky enough to seek the help of Dr. Banik.
At first glance, she diagnosed the case as a fistula. After treatment with coils, my problem was immediately resolved.
My great appreciation to Dr. Banik.
– Rafael, 73
Dr Banik is lovely and the first doctor to really listen to my needs. She is very gentle and the results were fantastic!
I would recommend her highly. I will keep going to her in the future.
