A professional that evokes comfort and trust. Something that is lacking in medicine. Ask any patient or nurse and you will get a warm smile and congratulatory smile. Like you found a diamond in the rough. I did.

My family and I have seen Dr. Badescu for perhaps 20 years in Manhattan. He is easy to talk to and takes the time to listen to any medical issues you may have. I have an extremely rare disorder that has affected me for several years. While I see some specialists for this, I still seek counsel from Dr. Badescu on treatments and guidance. He is the best!!!

My husband and I have been patients of Doctor Badescu's since he began his practice in Lemont. There is absolutely nothing bad to say about him. He goes above and beyond to provide you the care and support you need. I'm always singing his praises. My husband is going through a very difficult time for the past two years. Of course, it has also affected me as his caregiver. When we are at our lowest point, he always manages to pick us up. He is my hero!

This is the worst Dr. I have ever visited. Went to him for a back problem, after a car accident, and he had the nerve to tell me to take vocodin and walk around the mall. I couldnt believe it, walk around the mall! He didnt even order an MRI. I found a new Dr. and a MRI was the first thing he did.

This doctor is a moron, and he doesnt help with health issues. After a few visits with this doctor, and no help, I finally found a new one and am glad I did.

My husband and I had been through a variety of doctors trying to diagnose and treat some mystifing symptoms. Dr. B was the first and only doctor who listened fully, understood the implcations of all the symptoms, and took every step needed to diagnose & treat him. Dr. B is a true treasure.
