Dr. John Francis Bangston, MD

Great Doctor! Have been going to him for years.

I have been seeing Dr Bangston for 15+ years. Great doctor!

My husband and I have been patients for almost 10 years and Dr. Bangston has always been courteous and on time. What I like most about him and his staf is their ability to get us an appointment, when we need it.

I was a patient of Dr. Bangston's for a few years prior to about 2006. I ALWAYS paid every bill; right at the time of visit most times. I am a 30 year old single woman who has worked hard to keep a good credit rating. Yesterday I looked at my credit report and a $25 fee from Dr. Bangston's office is in collections! When I called the office to inquire the nurse told me it was from a missed annual physical appointment and made some statement about outsourcing their billing. MY QUESTION TO HER WAS: "AS A PATIENT OF DR. BANGSTON WHO ALWAYS PAID HER ACCOUNT...WHY WAS I NOT NOTIFIED THAT I OWED MONEY BEFORE IT WENT TO COLLECTIONS??" I've had the same number since I was a patient of his...a simple phone call...even a letter to let me know I owed something and I would have gladly paid $25 if I had accidentally missed an appointment. (I do not recall ever making that appointment...but have no recourse to dispute it and the fee!) Instead I have to find out about it over 5 years later? BAD… BUSINESS PRACTICE. Dr. Bangston may be a good doctor but he is directly responsible for his office practices and his staff...and that is where he FAILS MISERABLY. When I do return to Austin, I will not be using him as my doctor and I would definitely not reccomend him to any of my friends or family because of the lack of respect his office seems to have for patients.

I recently went in for a physical and Dr. Bangston took a lot of time to review my medical history and current conditions.I appreciate the attention that he provided.

I've gone to Dr. B for over 10 years and he has been an amazing doctor. He is not judgemental and makes you feel at ease. I used to have an insurance that required a referal for almost everything, and he and his staff were quick to send any that I needed. Appointments are easy to schedule and he usually can see you the same day with little to no wait time. The only drawback I have is that I had to move out of state and find a new doctor.

Dr. Bangston always takes the time to listen without judgment. He shows a true concern for my health. I have always been able to see him the same day that I call if I've been sick. He and his staff sincerely ask how I am doing. He is very good at diagnosing. Dr. Bangston is proactive in preventative medicine. If there is family history of something and even a remote chance I have it, he will have the necessary testing performed.
