- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/7/2024
He is brilliant. He said not to thank him yet cuz he hasn't solved any problems, however he discussed things that have never been discussed before. It all made such sense. It's the first time in a very very long time I had any hope after an appointment with a doctor. He showed sincere interest and care for my array of conditions. I would absolutely recommend him however I want to make sure he doesn't get too popular that I don't get to see him again, lol.

I already recommended Dr. Binion to a family member because he is so caring and thorough, and took so much time to respect my concerns and explain my treatment. I really appreciated him not rushing my appointment as appointments so often are, and for his commitment to getting me well again.

I have been a patient of Dr. Binion's since 1999 and I consider him to be the best in the business. He is compassionate, knowledgable, and thinks outside the box when it comes to treating IBD. Once again during this appointment, he delivered consistently as he has done for the past 25 years.

Dr. Binion is incredibly thoughtful, thorough (complete) and caring. He is also incredibly smart and good at his position. My only fear is that you will overload him with more patients

Dr. Binion is a brilliant doctor with an exceptional rapport with myself as his patient.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/26/2024
Dr Binion was incredible! He had obviously spent a lot of time before my appointment reviewing my records because he knew all of my extensive history. Then he spent many hours talking to me and explaining disease processes in such a way that it was easy to understand. I am still in disbelief that a doctor spent so much time with me. I'm used to 5 min appointments with my other doctors. He literally spent almost 4 hours with me! He clearly cares and wants to help. He is a genius and just a nice human. For the first time, I feel hopeful about my condition and that I have a doctor wanting to help me.

Dr. Binion sets a very high bar for what an outstanding physician should be.
