Patient Testimonials

Dr. Banos was an excellent surgeon throughout my rotator cuff and bicep repair. He took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, answered all of my questions, and made me feel heard and comfortable every step of the way.
The staff at the surgery center in Salem, NH, were also warm, welcoming, and professional, which made the entire experience much less stressful
I am now five months post-surgery, healing well, and very pleased with my outcome. I highly recommend Dr. Banos and his team.

Shoulder surgery was well performed. Dr. Banos and PA Chris Z did great job pre-op and post-op. Still in PT and slowly working out the kinks.

I recently found myself in the ER at Anna Jaques, and after X-rays I was immediately referred to Seacoast Orthopedics- who were able to take me last minute. From the moment I arrived, the office staff was welcoming and efficient, helping ease a stressful situation.
Dr. Banos and Jake provided exceptional care, stabilizing my leg with a custom cast and quickly getting me scheduled for surgery so I don’t have to wait a long time. Their professionalism, expertise, and compassion made a difficult experience much more manageable.
I’m incredibly grateful for the prompt, high-quality care I received. It was a huge relief knowing I was in such capable hands. Highly recommend Seacoast Orthopedics!

Everyone is very kind. The time for your appointment is the time they take you. No waiting. My Dr. was highly recommended by other professionals in the industry.
I felt cared for every step of the of the way from Dr. Banos. and his staff. Highly recommend Seacoast orthopedics. Newburyport Ma.

I would recommend Dr. Banos for shoulder surgery. He did an amazing job and I have full use of my arm again.

Total hip replacements were in my cards 10 years ago after a full active life of running, skiing, biking, hiking, & wrestling farm animals. Despite opting for exercise, supplements, an injection, and having consults about stem cells & hip resurfacing options, I got where I couldn't ride over a bump in the road without yelping. Dr. Banos and his team showed me the wretched truth on new X-rays. He got me right in. Replaced one hip on Monday, the second hip on Wednesday, and every person at Seacoast Ortho and AJH was kind, competent and fantastic. I can't wait to join in on everything I had to give up, and I look forward to enjoying all that the next 20+ years brings! Thank you all so very much !

I saw Dr. Banks for a shoulder problem. I waited exactly 15 minutes in the waiting room to see him.! He is a very kind , efficient And knowledgeable Doctor. He ordered X-rays and they had an x-ray machine right across from my room. He could see from the x-ray that I had a lot of inflammation in my shoulder so he gave me a cortisone injection and he froze the area first, so it was completely painless! I BGB will see him again in 2 months. The whole visit took 40 minutes but I was not rushed at all. Dr. Banos truly is a great Doctor with an excellent bed-side manner. He is kind and compassionate which a lot of Orthopedic doctors are not . I know this first hand as I was a Nurse for 25 years and have worked in and visited many Doctor’s offices.
I will gladly see Dr. Banos if I need an Orthopedic Doctor at any time in the future. Everyone in his practice was efficient and did a superb
Job. I highly recommend them.!

All of the staff and Dr Banos were helpful and caring. Dr Banos took time to explain all my issues and listened to my problems. No other Dr I had seen for my injury did that. I'm very grateful for the care I received there.

Extremely professional practice.

I would recommend Dr.Banos to all my loved ones.

Dr. Ford brings extensive medical experience along with a sensitive and pragmatic perspective.

I am very pleased with the therapy for my knee issues that Dr Ford provided. I find him to be smart and caring and very comfortable to work with.

This place is wonderful. From reception to the doctor. I saw Dr. Ford and he is very kind and does everything he can for you. Very calming and does not rush you at all. Makes sure you understand everything he has spoken to you about. Really a great place!

My recent visits to see Dr Ford were completely positive. I went for lower back pain that had sent me to the ER just days prior. During my initial visit Dr. Ford went over my intake information, and background of what sent me to the ER. He conducted a thorough exam and asked questions that led us to a plan of care. One of the things I most appreciated is that he took the time to go over both my CT and MRI scans with me. It was the first time someone explained to me in detail an MRI and I was confident enough to know what I was looking at, which allowed me as a patient to make an informed decision.I’m now 4wks into my physical therapy and doing 50-60% better and feel stronger than prior to my injury. I have read some of the other reviews and I can say yes, I’ve had to wait 20-30mins after checking in, but it’s because Dr. Ford is usually with another patient and he’s not the type to rush you out the door, I feel he is truly invested in my recovery.

Nick did an unusually good patient review that made me feel listened to. Dr. Ford was his standard professsional self and assured me they would do what they could to get SS to approve injections for my knee.

Seacoast Orthopedic staff is awesome I made appointment on a Tuesday and I was able to get appointment on Thursday of same week. Doctor Ford was also awesome . No long waits got right in once i checked in the front office.

I went to Seacoast a few years back for a second opinion on a knee injury. I saw Dr. Ford, who looked at the x rays and had a simpler fix. So when I hurt my knee again( jumped off a rock and....ouch) I knew exactly where to go. The professionalism from the front desk, x Ray tech and Dr. Ford are exactly how I perceive an office should be. Today, back on my feet...and thankful for Seacoast orthopedics. Top notch!!

Feel so much better after one visit, Dr Ford was very professional and understanding upgrade examination and came up with a plan that made me feel better in one day thank you

Saw Dr. Ford for knee pain. He was excellent & took care of me & set me on my way. Glad to find out it was arthritis & went away with plan to get it better.

Very accommodating for scheduling. Dr. Ford is fantastic- a good old fashioned dedicated and caring physician. Very happy to have gone there.

Dr Lee did amazing work fixing my wrist. Everyone in this office is so nice and accommodating. I couldn’t ask for any better care. These people are great!!

My experience at Seacoast has been superb. I was referred when I broke my hand. I was able to get an appointment within a couple hours of my first phone call with the office. The front desk staff was responsive and very friendly. The medical staff were very careful with my hand, answered all my questions, and helped shape my brace so that it was both comfortable yet still provided me some function. Dr. Lee was great. She explain the details of my fracture clearly and concisely and presented treatment as options rather than pushing me in a certain direction. Ultimately, I chose surgery and she did a great job. It's not even 3 weeks since the operation and I have already regained most of my range of motion. Scheduling follow-up appointments has been easy, no problems getting copies of x-rays or other information. Highly recommend Seacoast! They've been a bright spot during a challenging time.

I have been a patient at seacoast orthopedics for many years and have always found their treatment to be top-notch. Lately Doctor Lee has been treating my hand problems and she has done a fabulous job. She and her staff are attentive and I've always been treated promptly And professionally.

The Dr is very knowledgeable and very nice, I was treated by Dr Lee for my left thumb, come to find out I have arthritis, she gave me a brace and it absolutely 100% works

Saw Dr. Lee and her medical assistant who gave me a cortisone injection for my trigger finger. Both were very professional and caring. They also took the time to discuss treatment options with me…much appreciated.

Dr. Lee did the surgery on my badly infected finger. She saved it. She is outstanding. Gaby and the rest of the team are awesome as well. I would recommend them to anyone.

Dr. Lee listens to ur problems. And does what's best for ur care. I would send my family & friends to her. In all Great Doctor.

I've been treated by Dr. Banos for shoulder and elbow issues and Dr. Lee for hand and wrist issues all caused from falling. They and the entire staff are professional, caring and have been extremely helpful. Highly recommend this practice.

I broke my wrist this spring and needed surgery. I received excellent care from Dr. Stella Lee and the team at Seacoast Orthopedics. My surgery went beautifully and I couldn’t be happier with the compassionate and professional care I received from start to finish. Thank you, Dr. Lee!!

The staff were great. I particularly appreciated Dr Lee. She was professional, super personable and sweet, and asked great questions.

From my first phone call to leaving two days later after a cortizone shot everything was very good. The young lady on the phone(Jenelle) set my mind at ease. She had a very soothing voice. Sure enough. The assistants and Doctor Trask were all concerned with making my visit a pleasant experience. It was!! Thank you all!!

Ive never had such a pleasant ,and enjoyable experience at a dr visit in my 50 years. Thank you Dr. John Trask ,and your great staff.

The front office staff were welcoming and professional, as was Dr. Trask. Dr. Trask took the time to understand my concerns, explain what was going on, and provide the necessary treatment. The visit was smooth and helpful from the initial call to treatment.

As usual I was a great experience and would refer Dr Trask

Dr. Trask was so understanding and very personable.

Dr.Trask at Seacoast Orthopedics was fantastic. I needed help determining why my ankle had suddenly become so painful and he immediately diagnosed the underlying issue and prescribed a rehabilitation plan going forward. I now know what the issue is and how to treat it thanks to Dr. Trask!

Excellent. Dr. Trask was great

Doctor Trask is absolutely amazing! Perfect bedside manner and did an awesome job replacing my hip.

I 've had three appointments at Seacoast Orthopedics. I got in quickly and on time.I've seen Dr.Ford and Dr.Trask both were thorough in their assessments and explanations of causes and treatments. I'm having surgery soon.The surgical coordinator was extremely supportive and helpful.

My Ortho retired, and I just met my new doctor, Dr. Trask. Love him, although I will miss Dr.Chang, Dr. Trask is just as down to earth and I feel like I'm in good hands.
