Susan M. Bankston, MD

"It was years ago. Dr. Bankston used to be our pediatrician and we had very tough times when my son was a baby. He used to get sick so many times every year. One day, he was sick again and we visited Dr. Bankston. She gave us some prescription and we went to home. At same night my son got worse, he was having breathing problems and we had to go to emergency room. They got my son into ICU for three days. Dr. Bankston visited us in the emergency at the first night. That was kind a not understanding the situation and we end up in the ICU. We asked numerous times for the allergy tests but there has been always a reason to not have full diagnostic for the allergies. His blood tested only for most common couple of things. Once, I asked to Dr. about giving cow milk to babies at night. I asked her that I heard it on YouTube that was advised to not give cow milk at night and she said yes that is correct but I have been reporting that I was feeding the baby with cow milk at nights and she did not warn me until I specifically asked for it. The worst part is we figured out that my son is allergic to milk when he tested by another doctor (allergy doctor) when we move out another city. Probably that is why he was getting sick so frequently. Long story short, if you do not have problem everything is so nice but if there is something that requires close attention, it can easily be missed. Just want to warn parents to be cautious."

"My daughter went for her first visit with Dr. Bankston and she is still talking about her visit.

Dr. Bankston is a wonderful pediatrician!"
