Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

A Woman's Doctor
Dr. Dinicu is a treasure--she listens, makes me feel very comfortable to talk about anything and everything, and I have high confidence in her as a doctor taking care of my health. Asks good questions, follows up, and again---LISTENS. I got stuck in traffic and was late for appointment. She appropriately told me she had to meet others with appointments, offered another provider, and fit me in when she was able to do so. As a yearly appointment that causes me to travel an hour to see her, I really was grateful that she extended herself to see me. This is medical care that is unusual and one reason why she is special and exceptional.

Highly recommend!
Dr. Dinicu is attentive, knowledgeable, thorough and transparent; she takes the time to listen and understand her patients' challenges, considers lifestyle factors, and addresses all the risks and benefits of treatment options that she recommends for each patient's specific situation. Her approach is patient-centered and her bedside manners are compassionate and nonjudgmental. I feel lucky to have found her, and I fully trust her care.

As I usually see a different doctor at this office, I was initially reluctant to see Dr. Dinicu. But after just a few moments, I felt comfortable and that I was in good hands. Dr. Dinicu spent time explaining any concerns that I had, answering all my questions. She is quite knowledgeable and has a calming manner. I would not hesitate to see Dr. Dinicu again.
