I agree with the other reviews regarding Dr. Ionescu's main interest being money. Good doctor, just watch out for your money! Ask every time if something will be billed extra so you have no surprises.

I have had only good experiences with Dr. Ionescu. She’s attentive, helpful, caring and definitely gives the time I require. I expect nothing less when it comes to my health. I would highly recommend her.

Not sure what the problem was with the negative commenters but I have found Dr. Ionescu to be one of the few physicians I’ve had who’ve given the time needed to listen to and interact with me. Most doctors are more interested in getting their notes done while you are speaking. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a change.

My mom has been going to Dr Ionescu for several years. We always find her attentive, caring and never ever rushes us and spends on average 1 hour and 45 minutes! Just us, no computer , no phone calls. She is just wonderful !

She's not a real doctor, focused on people's need, she's focused on $$$
