Susan L. Bank, MD

She’s simply amazing. I would recommend her to anyone who suffers from ADHD.

Very fair, reasonable and caring. Excellent physician. Well worth seeing, even if out-​of-​network.

Dr. Bank is great! She knows her stuff and is spot on at analyzing and assessing medical conditions. One of the things I really like about her is she’s very up to date on medical conditions and treatment plans so I know she knows what she’s talking about. She’s also very compassionate, easy to talk to and you can tell she genuinely cares about her patients. She doesn’t take medical insurance but she’s definitely worth the money!

Dr. Bank is great! I’m so glad I found her. She is a great listener and she tries to get you well.

The only problem with Dr. Bank that she does NOT accept any insurance which is a big concern to me :(

I saw Dr. Bank on a recommendation from a friend. I was surprised at how much time she spent listening to me, the vast amounts of notes she was taking, and how she steered the conversation into areas I’d never before identified as problems. Her recommendations were nothing short of life-​changing. That’s not an exaggeration.
The only 2 caveats:
1) Allow a bit of extra time. The appointments don’t always start on time, and sometimes go long. Though perhaps that’s just a reflection of the attention she gives her clients.
2) She doesn’t take insurance. However, she’s worth every penny.

Just to let everyone know — she doesn’t accept ANY insurance…

I started seeing Dr. Bank a few months ago due to some anxiety issues I’d been experiencing. She is very understanding, non-​judgemental, and a great listener. She has helped me more in the past few months than any therapist or doctor ever has.
I also have ADD, which wasn’t my initial reason for seeing her, but she helped me by recommending a different treatment plan than the one I’d been on for a couple years, which was becoming ineffective. Her changes have completely altered my ability to be productive.
After seeing other psychiatrists over the years, I have finally found someone who actually listens and understands how medications work. And she uses her knowledge to personalize a treatment plan, instead of just putting you on a bunch of different medications to counteract side effects of other medications which weren’t right for you in the first place.
She is responsive, easy to reach, and helpful. I’d highly recommend her, as she has honestly helped me improve my quality of life. And that is worth more than 5 stars.

I started seeing Dr. Bank several years ago and at the time was shocked that I could get in to see her within a week (for most psychiatrists you need to wait 30 or more days to get in).
Though I don’t see her as often anymore, when I need to, I can get an appointment almost immediately, or a phone appointment if I am at my other home, out of state.
Dr. Bank is a great listener and understands the mindset of urban dwellers.
It’s great to be able to see a psychiatrist and talk about day-​to-​day issues without just being given pills and shooed off.
Her staff is very professional and quick to get refill requests to the proper pharmacies.
Though Dr. Bank does not accept insurance anymore, her charge is not so astronomical that it becomes cost prohibitive to see her. Good luck finding a decent psychiatrist that accepts insurance these days anyway.

I am a therapist in Chicago. I find Dr. Banks to be professional, knowledgeable and accessible to my clients. My clients have reported positive results from their experience with Dr. Banks.

I love Dr. Bank! I have been seeing her for years even without insurance coverage. She has been a life saver and I highly recommend her.

I love Dr. Bank, I’ve seen her off and on for maybe eight years. She has really helped me out with quite a few things and I feel as though I can tell her anything. She is open to patient input on treatment and just has good advice without being preachy. She also knows quite a bit about more natural and holistic treatment, which I also really like. I have and would recommend her to anyone. My insurance doesn’t even cover my office visits anymore and I continue to visit her.

I have been seeing Dr. Bank for several months and think she is a fantastic therapist. She thoughtfully listens to me and responds in a warm yet professional manner. Since I’ve been seeing her, I have gained a greater perspective of some of the issues I had been facing and feel more confident that I can solve problems and issues with greater clarity. I would highly recommend Dr. Bank to anyone who wants a kind, caring, professional therapist.

Dr. Susan Bank is a very warm and personable physician. She is very easy to talk to and I feel very comfortable with her. I didn’t feel nervous about opening up to her and her ability to prescribe the appropriate medication helped me understand what I really need vs. what is popular. I enjoyed her holistic approach to my treatment plan.

Dr. Bank has really been a life saver for me. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. She is understanding and listens to what you have to say and never judges you.
