I came to this woman for help after 8 months of discomfort and pain after 3 dr.s and about 5 mris. I was so hopeful and excited to go to this place! My first visit was basically saying she wanted to do her own mris and follow up in 4 months! I started balling my eyes out when she said 4 months. Another 4 months with no help. She stood there talking away about the mri and records and whatnot as she watched me cry. Not even a simple look of compassion on her face. And she was out the door I did the mri and went a week later for them to go over it with me. The resident discussed them with me. Dr. Ionete came in for not even 5 minutes. She stop taking one of the meds and call me in 3 months, with no diagnosis, no treatment, nothing. I said so now im back to square1, where i was 8 months ago, with no answers?? And she says Yea and walks out the door. Most heartless dr. i have ever been to NEVER going back there again.

She is up front, honest and no-nonsense but caring in an understated way. She is very smart (MD & PhD)and knows her stuff. She is very responsive to my questions, emails etc. I would highly recommend her.

I don't know why everyone else is fooled by her, she really isn't smart enough to be a doctor. She actually said to me that it's not her job to get to know her patients.
