Data Breach at Banis Plastic Surgery in Louisville, KY

Dr. Joseph Banis, MD Plastic Surgery Medical Skin Care in Louisville, Kentucky, experienced a data incident that was reported on October 25, 2023. The incident involved a computer error that occurred on March 12, 2023, while the practice was running a program to send out emails to its patients. Due to this error, a small number of the emails sent contained the name and address of other patients in the body of the emails. It is important to note that no other personal information and no patient personal health information were included in the emails. An investigation into the incident found no evidence of misuse of any information. Potentially impacted individuals were sent written notices on March 28th to inform them of the incident[3][4][8].

Dr. Banis’s practice has a reputation for excellence in Louisville and has been providing aesthetic consultation and surgery for over 20 years. The practice is known for its expertise in complex reconstruction procedures and microsurgery techniques[1]. Dr. Banis is a respected surgeon in the area, and Dr. Prescott, who is also part of the practice, is a double board-certified plastic surgeon with expertise in aesthetic surgery of the face, breast, and body[1].

The practice took steps to notify affected individuals and has not found any evidence of misuse of the information that was accidentally shared. It is not uncommon for healthcare providers to experience data breaches, and they are required to notify patients and take steps to mitigate any potential harm. It is always advisable for patients to monitor their personal information and report any suspicious activity if they believe their data may have been compromised in a breach.
