I honestly hate seeing all these bad reviews about it "taking a long time to see the doc" ..to be fair, Dr. Banskota has many patients to see, also him & staff are always juggljng many things at a time, so what do u guys expect? Dr. Banskota & his staff always do their best, be patient w/ them! U guys obviously see how even the big hospitals out there w/ a FULL house of staff can still make u wait soooo long to see a doc, Dr. Banskota's office consists of 3-4 staff w/ many patients a day. Be patient! Ive been going to Dr. Banskota since 2014 or so.. Ive had long waits & short waits in the lobby, even so, i give him my patience because i keep in mind all the other patients he has to tend to in-person + all the incoming phone calls he has to tend to w/ patients who have emergencies or questions on the lines, his staff needing help, etc. theres even been a time i had to wait to see him a little further down the calendar because he's so booked up.. CUT EM SOME SLACK, for God's sake. read more

I used to be a patient of Dr. Banskota and recently referred him because during the years under his care he helped me a lot, monitored my illness until I went into remission. I would rather wait to see a good doctor. read more

I have been going to this clinic for years already ever since my first pregnancy in 2016! This is my 3rd pregnancy, and all my babies are healthy with no health issues! I had pretty serious thyroid problem (hyperthyroidism) all my life. Dr. Banskota is very experienced, professional, and patient! He gives the best advices and treatments! The receptionists and nurses are also very nice and friendly there! Always greet you with a smile :) Especially Patty and Maria! Thank you! ^_^ I highly recommend dr. Banskota! read more

I don't understand why he has high ratings. He doesn't really listen to you and if it's not related to what you came in with he doesn't care to dig further to find out the reason why you're feeling that way. Also expect to wait a long time. read more

Super nice staff, receptionist and doctor. I had an appointment for 445pm, but didn't get assisted until 540. It took the doctor 5 minutes to get me some pills and to schedule the next appointment. I hate wasting time sitting around. read more

I took my mom to her first appointment with the doctor. He seemed very caring, spent plenty of time and did not make us feel rushed. We were very happy with the experience. read more

Dr Banskota is my go to guy for my diabetes. He is caring, attentive and easy to talk to. Office staff is friendly and helpful.

I recommend Dr. Banskota without hesitation. After experiencing several strange symptoms and seeing a few doctor's, I was finally referred to Dr. Banskota who was one of the only doctor's who really spent time with me to go through the details and determine what was wrong. He patiently listened and did not rush me, which I greatly appreciated. I have found his office staff (Patty & Maria) to be so kind and helpful. I've not had any issues with getting my refills quickly and everyone has been great whenever I have had additional questions about my condition. I was miserable and scared, but Dr. Banskota and his staff turned everything around for me and I am so grateful. read more

Such a wonderful experience!! The front office was pleasant and responsive, I was able to get a first time patient Appt within 3 weeks and Dr. Banskota is the best. He is kind, patient and thorough. I feel so lucky to have found him and this office. Ooh and they do NOT accept credit/debit cards for payment or co pay only CASH or CHECK. Not a problem when I am getting great care!! Even the postal carrier that came to deliver while I was in the waiting area was so amazingly nice. read more

Nirmal K Banskota, MD - Endocrinologists Near Me - Arcadia, California

DO NOT SEE THIS DOCTOR. HIS PRACTICE IS A SCAM. HIS SECRETARY DOESN'T FOLLOW UP WITH YOU AND YOU HAVE TO CHASE DOWN THE BILLER (OFFICE MANAGER/DR'S WIFE) TO DISCUSS THE RIDICULOUS BILL THEY CHARGE YOU FOR DOING NOTHING. Yes, the doctor did nothing for me. He saw me then his secretary did not set up the test like she was supposed to then they billed me for $250! I had to call them 4 times to chase down the office manager and she yelled at me over and over and kept screaming at me and talking over me saying it was a standard charge even though they did nothing for me nor bothered to call me to follow up. They just want your money, they don't care about their patients. No wonder it was so easy to set up an appointment in the first place where other offices had a 2-4 week waiting period. Horrible staff! read more

Dr. Nirmal Banskota was referred to me by my dermatologist Dr. Dong Chang, to see if there were any abnormalities and hormonal imbalances in my endocrine system. An appointment was made easily over the phone. Everyone in the office is so friendly and nice. The facility is large, very clean, and smells really nice for a medical office. Dr. Banskota is just as friendly as his staff, and it doesn't hurt that he's pretty attractive. My consultation lasted about 15-minutes. At the end, we made another appointment for me to come back the next morning to get blood work done. I was terrified and hadn't had my blood drawn in more than 10 years, but it ended up being a breeze! I barely felt anything and I was on my way out in less than 5-minutes. I never received a call from Dr. Banskota's office so I assumed everything was fine. Dr. Chang did later receive a copy of my results and saw that everything was normal. They accepted my Health Net PPO insurance and my office co-pay was $40. The lab work after the deductible was around $100, which was much more than I expected but at least now I have a peace of mind. read more

Don't recommend coming here, doctor said he didn't have time for me when I asked questions. Was also misdiagnosed.

Dr. Banskota is a great doctor. And if it was just him and his receptionist I had to deal with, I'd give the office five stars. But their office manager/billing manager, Neeta (the doctor's wife), is a joke. Apparently, all their invoices go out saying 91-120 days past due. She hasn't figured out how to change it. Their receptionist told me she gets panicked calls about it all the time. Secondly, Neeta won't return calls. So you'd better be able to call during her window and hope she picks up. Finally, and this is the most ludicrous point, they don't have a way to accept cards. I can pay anyone with PayPal so their refusal to set up a card payment method is completely befuddling. If you are like my family and diligently funnel money to a health savings account, you can't pay them. At least not easily. And when you don't feel well, all you need is life to be more difficult, right? I truly feel bad for their very sick patients. Your options are: 1) pay from your personal checking (and we all have a comfy pile of cash in our checking, right? Ha!) and be reimbursed, or 2) go through the rigmarole of submitting an invoice and having the health spending account company send payment (which I'm hoping actually works - I'm not done with that process yet). So, how many hoops do you have to jump through to pay? So far four. I have spent more time trying to pay my bill than I did seeing Dr. Banskota. Archaic. read more

I'm afraid for me the jury is still out on Nirmal. While my opinion was pretty high after our frist appointment, I was referred to him by my internist & G.P. Dennis Liu, it seemed to be somewhat diminshed after our second meet & speak that he insisted we have two weeks later. Considering that I am paying to see him with every appointment I really don't want to be hearing what I heard the time before and that is what was happening. When I began to question him about things other than what he was discussing our meeting seemed to come to a much quicker conclusion. I like things to progress and unless you are telling me something new what is the point in coming in such short intervals? I did schedule a future appointment, but in the more distant future. I have had a lot of doctors in my life so we will have to see what form that next appointment takes. If it is productive maybe then we will be able to raise up his star count. read more

Dr Banskota is one of the nicest people i have ever met easy to talk to and very attentive I have taking my 82 year old mother to Doctors and have walked out due to their bedside manner not Dr Banskota he is a very good Doctor and takes pride in keeping his patients healthy. And I have had nothing but a good experience with all his staff and himself. read more

Dr. Banskota is a great doctor. I have been going to him for many years and he is very knowledgeable, caring and kind. He is easy to talk to and is always attentive. My parents went to him also and always spoke very highly of him. The front office is very personable and friendly. They always greet you with a smile. read more

Very personable and knowledgeable... I have great trust in Dr. Banskota.

Dr. Banskota is a wonderful doctor. I have to stop going to him because of his billing person (wife) and office staff. I have had trouble with getting the bills sent to my insurance. The staff that answers the phone scolded me for not going in often enough when I called for a RX refill, but then after making the appointment they did not send in the refill, leaving me with no Thyroid medication. I spent over an hour at Rite Aid (where the RX was to have been sent) trying to get a few pills to carry me over until I could get the refill I was promised. I the next two days i called and asked to speak to the Dr., he never returned my call. I think the staff did not want him to know the issues I had with them. I am now going to see a new Endocrinologist. I don't have time for these type of issues. read more

Dr. Nirmil Banskota is an excellent endocrinologist. He is pleasant as is his whole staff. He has a good bedside manner, is very optimistic and encouraging. He is a good listener and is very helpful and informative on the subject of one's health. He is currently still working on balancing my thyroid since it has only been a few months of seeing him, but I have faith he will restore my thyroid to optimum working condition. I would and have already recommended him to friends. read more

Dr. Banskota is by far the best doctor I have ever seen. I was referred to him in high school for thyroid problems and a growth deficiency. He still sees me almost 8 years later and is the most caring, kind, and respectful physician I have ever met. He is also extremely thorough. I have seen other endocrinologists in my life and Dr Banskota has become not only a thorough physician to me but a mentor, a friend, and most importantly a caring and healing Doctor. read more

this man saved my life...wonder staff with Maria and patty! very knowledgeable and caring! namaste

Cant speak for the doctor, but the office manager is very Rude.. My mother was treated by the Dr.Banskota and she passed away 2014. So my loan officer called them and I was present just didn't know how to ask for previous medical history, all I needed was a letter and Mrs Neeta was very short tempered and rude. I couldn't believe how she was answering, my loan officer even told her not to get loud and get upset. I cant imagine someone talking to a patient with that type of attitude. So I agree with previous postings of office Mgr being a joke. so sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Dr. Banskota is a doctor I actually look forward to seeing. He is so calm, and really listens to what you have to say. He interacts with you, when you are talking about your symptoms, and he really takes the time to talk to you and listen. He orders appropriate test and discusses the results with you. He treats the "entire person", not just a symptom and how it effects you. I can not say enough about him, and share my kiddos to him and his office. He is a wonderful educator, weather you want it or not...the more you know the more you can make educated decisions about your health. A five-star doctor! read more
