Dr. Cristea was very thorough in informing me of my diagnosis and concerns spent time discussing my questions and didn’t feel rushed. Staff very knowledgeable, kind and efficient! I highly recommend Dr. Cristea! Gave me follow up appointment med sample and Dr referral for another issue

I like Dr. Cristea when I started seeing him in 2017 but he referred me to Dr. Suwan who admittedly only does injections for him had violated my privacy during a telehealth visit. I could hear the other person in the background about what I was saying. I had to fire them as my physicians.

Had our 1st, & last visit with Dr. Cristea. 1st impression was so arrogant! Trying to impress the 2 med. students observing in office, often referring to them, instead of us. I brought a few pertinent files from my husband's past medical history, thought it would give insight to his present condition. Dr. C. didn't even read them, just scoffed them off, telling them "this is what happens when people hop from Dr. to Dr."I had records & test finding transmitted to Dr. C's office from another Dr.'s office a couple days prior.

He is so knowledgeable, has a good bedside manner and takes time to explain things. I was able to get in quickly for the initial appointment which is rare. I have received more accurate diagnoses, and feel every one in his office treats me with respect. I would recommend him.

He was nice on the first visit. Made it sound like he'd help me. Not the case. He had me take every test possible. I did everything he told me. I didn't miss any appts or tests. After he gets my money, then he rushes me in and out. I still have major issues going on and he pretty much has given up on finding answers. He is condescending. Acts like he is above everyone. The MA doesn't put my correct symptoms in the computer. I had to tell her to correct it. As she was doing it, he pops his head in the door basically rushing h... read more

Worst patient care I’ve ever experienced! They never ever return any of your calls, they treat you like an addict even when you’ve got a perfect record of filling on time. I can’t express how truly crappy this office staff is! Tabitha is by far the worst and needs to find a new job where people’s lives aren’t on the line. You also pay your specialist copay every time you go but they will only put you with the doctor every 3 visits the rest are with NP...communication is not their strong point.

The office staff is rude, they don’t return calls or countless messages that were left pleading for help from my husband trying to help me deal with my MS and depression. I went to every referral and every random test he suggested. he’s a referral addict and pushes u off to other “specialists” in his group of doctors making sure to spread around my $. Also u pay to see a neurologist but u only get to see the actual doctor you’re paying to see every 3 visits..nurse practitioners for the of visits
