      My toddler acted like a terrorist for his entire visit. O'Banion was very calm about it and rolled with it even with it making his job quite a bit more difficult. I really appreciated him not getting overwhelmed or annoyed with my child

      Dr. O'Banion impressed us from the start as we were in the hospital with our brand new first baby. Now he's seeing our 4th child (so it's been almost a decade!) and he treats us like part of the family. He's always so easy to talk to and we love his sense of humor too!

      Overall our experience at Community Health has been wonderful. Although I felt Dr. O'Banion was slightly rude to myself (my child's mother). When were there because my child have been diagnosed with STREP a week prior, and she was still have pain in her throat. I wanted to make sure everything was alright. During the visit, Dr. O'Banion asked me if I smoked, I answered yes. He asked if I smoked around my child, to which I responded no as we live in a non-smoking residence. He then asked if I smoked in the car. I answered no. He more or less interrogated me about smoking when I told him specifically the first time, yes I smoke, but NOT around my child. It was as though he wanted my (an adult woman) smoking cigarettes to be the reason my child had STREP. I was not his patient, my child was. I felt the whole experience was rude and unprofessional. After I answered the question the first time the topic should have been dropped. He does well with children, but his beside manor could use some work.

      During my son's 4 year old check up, Dr O'Bannion had my son lay on the table which kinda scared my little guy. Dr soon had my son laughing so hard when he was feeling his belly telling him that he thought he must of had a shark tooth sandwich for lunch because he could feel it in his tummy.

      He is amazing Doctor. He truly cares about his kids. I say his kids because he treats them as his own not just as patients. He answers all the questions I have and I never leave second guessing or feel misunderstood or misinformed. No matter how dumb or how over reacting I feel he makes me feel I am a good parent.
