Thanks to a wonderful nurse Mia that recommended Dr. Petcu I wouldn't be here. Mia has 18 years of confidence in Dr. Petcu and I will have my lifetime of confidence in him because of him. He is a smart man and his diagnosis is right on!

After my mom spent 6 weeks in the hospital after having a heart-attack and visited my many doctors, Dr. Petcu was the only Dr. that took the time to listen to her. He also spoke directly to her and not me, the daughter. He didn't rush to a conclusion, but, had some additional tests done of his own. Really liked his bedside manner.

Dr. Petcu is an extremely knowledgeable doctor. He has a depth of understanding of the person he is treating. Everyone is important to him, and every symptom is important. I know that he will always return my call. Because of the attention that he gives to his patients and his knowledge, his diagnosis can be depended on.
