My Family has been seeing Dr. Bansal for years. She is thorough, efficient, understanding, and has a lovely staff. She asks questions and listens to your answers, she is willing to send you to specialists when needed and will explain medications and treatment options. read more

She is the worst Dr I have ever had. She doesn't care about her patients, it's only about money to her. She requires patients to come in for an office visit so she can charge you and your insurance. She literally spends a few minutes doing nothing but looking at the computer and then charges 80 dollars. read more

Dr. A. Bansal changed over the years into a rude and no mercy person! Overpowering the patient is sure NOT what it should be! read more

Just an update to provide proof Dr. Archana Bansal ignored two of these letters from Canyon Vista Medical showing concern. She refused to approve the CT scan the Carter Imaging found a benign liver mass. Had to find new primary to approve for payment. Cost was $3K and she reported UNNECESSARY! Thank goodness God led me to CQCH for proper medical care. read more

Dr Bansal had great reviews so we took my mother in law who was 100 years old and had just moved here from Washington State due to an illness in a family member who was caring for her. She was living at Prestege Assisted Living and there are no doctors in Sierra Vista that made house calls so we had to bring her to the office of Dr Bansal. The receptionist was professional and meeting Dr Bansal she seemed curt and harried but for a first visit it was ok. We gave her our mother's history and told her about the doctor that was caring for her in Seattle and what her treatment and medications were and why the doses were what they were. Doctor changed one medication doubling it. We were concerned because the doc in WA had lowered med d/t mom getting something a kin to sundowners syndrome with the higher dose but we trusted the doctor without any hesitation. My mother in law had some issues with the sundowners again with the increased dose so we went by to talk to Dr Bansal. She agreed to see us quickly with no appointment which we appreciated. We explained the situation went over the rational of the WA Dr who was the head of the geriatric dept at the University of WA and Dr Bansal became very argumentative and saying things like, I can lower the dose if that's what you want me to do just tell me and I will do it. We were taken a back by the tone and cadence of her words because neither my husband nor I had ever experienced a doctor react in that manner before. It was insulting and humiliating to be spoken to in that manner when all we wished to do is make sure she understood what was happening and remind her why the other doctor in WA had the dose of the one medication low. It was if Dr Bansal felt as if she had to defend herself in such an unprofessional manner. We tried to tell her we were just making sure she understood the situation and what was currently happening but she just didn't seem to want to hear because she was offended or something. Needless to say we left feeling very unsettled but did manage to find another very kind, patient doctor in Dr Kna here in Sierra Vista. We would not be going back to Dr Bansal because we feel the doctor patient relationship is a partnership, one in which trust is built and a two way stream of communication is vital to a patients care moving forward. Dr Knapp assured us of the doses, took scrupulous notes, listened to my mother in law and us do we felt we were in very capable hands with Dr Kaplan's and that's where we stayed until my mother passed about a month later at 101 years old. read more

MY WORST DR EXPERIENCE...E-V-E-R!!! IF you are a masochist, you will LOVE the place for the verbal abuse alone...otherwise...STAY AWAY!!!! I am 62 and have NEVER had such an awful experience in a medical office in my life!! When I called to make the appointment I was very specific about why I wanted to come in. I told them I was traveling and just passing through and was ONLY interested in finding out what the pain in my jaw was, suspecting TMJ. I was in NO WAY interested in making Dr. Bansal my regular physician as I would be moving on in 2 months. Once I got to the office and filled out the new patient form, they asked me to sign a waiver to get all my past medical records sent to them. I DID NOT see the need for this, but they insisted that I sign the waiver or I would not be seen. When the doctor herself finally saw me she was EXTREMELY unpleasant. Just like another reviewer said, the doctor interrupted me several times and she actually slammed down the lid of her laptop and turned to YELL at me for not bringing my pills with me. I told her that I just came for an x-ray to see what is wrong with my jaw, NOT to make her my regular physician, but she STILL insisted on scheduling a complete physical, an x-ray, a follow-up appointment and several BLOOD TESTS. She was doing this just to bill Medicare, and actually YELLED at the girl at the front desk to pull up my Medicare records and see if she could charge me for a complete physical even though I told her I just had one less than six months ago. When she mentioned the blood tests I said I didn't need them and her reply was "I'm ordering them ANYWAY." Who ever heard of a doctor ordering tests OVER the patients objections?!? She just wanted to BILL, BILL, BILL. She was nasty and mean to me, she yelled at me and berated her office staff in front of me, and I left that office all shook up. I WANTED the x-ray but NOT all the other stuff she ordered, so I got the x-ray, asked THEM to tell me the results on the spot and then cancelled all unnecessary future appointments with Dr. Bansal. RUDE, DISGUSTING behavior is NEVER expected in a professional office, and this place was the absolute WORST medical experience I have had in 62 years!!!! I was delivered by a woman doctor in 1953 and was VERY happy to find a woman for this visit, because they are usually more comforting and attentive, in my opinion...but this lady was OBNOXIOUS!!! (If I can, I will post the sheet she gave me to report to THREE different labs when ALL I wanted was ONE x-ray. I made this VERY CLEAR to her, but she just scheduled the tests against my objections. This woman is ONLY trying to bill Medicare for as much as she can and she should be INVESTIGATED for that. I plan to report her as extremely unprofessional.) read more

Archana Bansal, MD - Told to report to THREE different labs when ALL I wanted was an x-ray. This is the WORST medical office I have EVER visited. - Internal Medicine Near Me - Sierra Vista, Arizona

I don't understand why past reviewers don't like her. I have been seeing Dr. Bansal for a couple of years and every visit has been stellar! I have had to wait a few times. She spends the time she needs to treat the patient. I respect that. I never have has a bad experience. The office staff has always been great. If I could give six stars I would. She is always straight with me and her treatment has always been spot on. I guess some folks want a doctor that tells them what they want to hear? Anyway, I'm sticking with her. Have not had a doctor like her in a lot of years. read more

I have never experienced a most horrible Doctor in my life! My first and only visit, she puts me down on how I completed my paperwork, (to which I filled out correctly) apparently she wanted an answer to something there was no question for. So then I try to explain my reason for my visit, only to be interrupted by her standing up waving my paperwork in the air, yelling at her staff "WHO DID THIS, WHO DID THIS!!!" It was then I knew I wasn't getting anywhere with her, so I quickly mention about refilling a prescription for my asthma ( from a previous doctor). As I am on my way out I wait for my insurance card to be given back by the Medical Assistant/receptionist, only to hear yet again this doctor yelling at her staff and then belittling the receptionist. PLEASE, whoever may be reading this, I strongly urge you to search for another doctor!!! read more

Dr. Archana Bansal is thorough and acts quickly to resolve my medical issues. After 2 years of suffering with disfiguring skin problems and going to several doctors, Dr. Bansal is the only doctor who cured me after only two visits. On another occasion, I contracted a serious respiratory infection, and Dr. Bansal diagnosed it immediately. I know of other people who were hospitalized and one person who died from the same respiratory infection. I believe Dr. Bansal's comprehensive examination and fast diagnosis may have saved my life. read more

She was not very ethical to my standards, and here is why. 1: Never introduced her self to me. 2: As soon as she walked in told me that I smelled. 3: Asked me four times why I left my last doctor. 4: Then said she never heard of my doctors office (family health center) and occording to the patiences that were there she has been there a while. 5: Didn't believe I word that I said or was written down had the girl up front to verify that the doctor I had been seeing actualy works there and my last physical and test were. 6: Also kept asking about my family history and wanted me to come back in a week after I did more blood work for her cause doesn't believe there is no such thing as boarder line diabetic. Personal note I would not recommend this doctor to anyone her code of suck eggs read more

If I could rate 0 stars I would. I was told to arrive 20 minutes prior to my appointment, which I did. I then waited over an hour PAST my appointment time to be seen. The front receptionist marked every single thing I wrote on the paperwork into the system incorrectly. The wrong insurance, wrong prior Drs, wrong reason for being seen, the list goes on. When I finally was seen, Dr Bansal spent the entire visit on her laptop reading my paperwork (which I just filled out) back to me. She wouldn't believe what I had wrote until I repeated it 3 times. The only time she stopped was to open the door and yell at her receptionist about misinformation (on three separate times). The receptionist finally came into the room to yell back and then told me I had a different insurance than I actually do (even though she scanned my card) and told me I was wrong about what I could and couldn't do with that insurance. I corrected her politely, and she blew me off with a 'whatever'. Dr Bansal also speaks so loudly that any hope of having a secure/private consultation is completely gone. I knew what every patient before me had, what their treatment was and all their personal information (full name, birthdate, insurance, prior health concerns etc). She literally yells when she talks. I only came in to see Dr Bansal for referrals to other clinics (as my insurance requires). After 2 hours, I got the referrals, but they had the wrong diagnosis, the wrong insurance, and were not faxed to the referred Dr offices. I called back to get all this corrected and was again argued with over what insurance I actually have. The receptionist tried to convince me to keep the WRONG INSURANCE on file because it would be cheaper. Even the information she quoted about my correct insurance was incorrect. Don't go here. read more

I'm new to the area and saw her because I needed to get in to someone quick for some meds for strep throat before vacation. I went back because I'd not seen a GP in awhile, and I must say, she is AWFUL. I had some concerns and she interrupted me while I was speaking, wouldn't let me finish, and she already had a diagnosis and meds for it. She told me I had heartburn and turns out, after seeing a competent doctor, I definitely DON'T have heartburn. I wouldn't recommend Dr. Bansal to my worst enemy. She will do in a pinch if you have strep or something, but if you have serious concerns about your health, I'd do elsewhere. She is rude and uncaring. Her staff is just as bad! read more

Dr Bansal, Sees Me, my Father-in-law who is 98 and my daughter who is mentally challenged. When my father-in-law came to live with us in Jan 2014 his blood thinner medication was having to be changed every time he was seen by his old doctors. She took the time to listen to us and work with the dosages until his current one that he has been on for two yrs. She listens to him and is concerned with health challenges and works with us in keeping his specialists informed. He is very happy with her and trusts her advice. He has never had to wait for more than 20 min. I recently had a bad fall and went into the office without an appointment, she saw me waiting and had the receptionist get me back into her off immediately. she sent for the needed test and has me follow up with her the next day. My health was her and her staffs first concern. When labs are required she takes the time to go over them with me, my father-in-law and for my daughter. She treats my mentally challenged daughter as a responsible individual and doesn't talk to her like she doesn't understand. she makes sure she does and lets her know how special she is to her as a patient and an individual. We are all very happy with Dr. Bansal and would recommend her to anyone. read more

Dr. Bansal is thorough and competent. She gathers medical records to have a complete view of her new patient. This gives her a baseline view for future treatment. She is business-like, but takes her practice of medicine seriously. Yes, I've seen compassion and caring. She desires to do her best for the patient. I'm pleased that I have found her and look forward to a long relationship. read more

I moved here 3 months ago and needed to find a doctor quickly to refill my asthma meds. I wanted a female doctor. In the three times I have seen her I arrive early, I don't see her until almost an hour after my scheduled appointment, then she rushes you and talks over you. Yesterday was the final straw. She told me I don't listen when I am trying to tell her I am already seeing all the specialists for chronic pain, arthritis and peripheral neuropathy she was suggesting. I know what the diagnosis is and there is nothing more they could do than any other specialist in the same fields are already doing. All I was seeing her for is to refill my asthma meds. I have never gotten this irritated with a doctor ever in my life. I had to tell her she needs to stop talking over me and pay attention to what her patients are telling her. She copped an attitude, lowered her head shaking it and laughed. That was the final straw of disrespect towards me. I'm looking for another doctor. She is rude and quite frankly so is her upfront office staffer. read more

I saw Dr. Bansal twice and both times, she barely looked at me and spent LESS than 10 minutes with me - with no examination at all. The first visit she spent 4 minutes (I looked at my watch) before sending me out to be billed. She NEVER examined me! She then billed my insurance $1200 for nothing! The second time on the "follow up" she did not examine me and did not even review my blood work (which is why I was there). She is very rude - it is obvious she does not want to have contact with patients and does not want to talk to them. She asks her receptionist (not a medical professional) to speak to you on her behalf while she stands in the hallway! No exam, no discussion and the bills from her keep coming in for things she did not even do. SEVEN Bills for NOTHING! What a FRAUD! It is very clear the only thing that matters to Dr. Bansal is billing your insurance and making as much money as possible off of you for as little work as possible. She does not care at all about your health or welfare. THe wait time for both was over 45 min. The office is very run down and dirty and the staff is rude. I talked to several friends and they all told me they had similar experiences. One my second visit, she had a loud confrontaion with a male patient and was rude to him. Everyone could hear from the waiting room. AVOID this doctor! read more
