Dr. Staicu is the absolute best. Very, very special as a communicator. Knowledge, passion for her patients and their needs is second to none. Very honest!!
Great visit.
Dr. Staicu gave a talk at a Cancer Survivor Boot Camp and I liked what she said so I made an appointment for issues that worry me. We are currently in the process of discovering what would be helpful for me, do I have heart issues or do I need lifestyle changes, specifically more exercise?
Dr. Staicu listens and discusses my questions. She actually looks at me when listening as opposed to having her nose stuck in the computer like other doctors I have.
Dr. was pleasant and knew exactly what I was there for and what would be needed to help with my concerns.
After the speaking engagement for BC patients where I learned about Onco-Cardiology, she was so interesting and fun to listen to, I felt comfortable about going to see her getting base line testing on my heart and they were able to get me in right away and was a good listener when I met her and awaiting my results.
Time spent in the waiting room was over an hour.
I really like Dr Staicu and she is very professional.
Very good, doctor and nurse were very professional and easy to talk to.
long wait times, disorganized, felt rushed, doctor still chewing food in mouth when met with me. had to call you follow up to get next appointment scheduled
She was up beat and spoke directly to mom, explaining what she was looking for
The whole experience was very good!
Easy to talk to and interested in me personally.
Dr. Staicu answered all questions, added Rx for leg/ankle swelling & recommended stress test.
This provider took the time to talk with me & listen.
Dr. Staicu is an excellent dr. that I have total trust in. She is very knowledgeable and has brought me through many medical issues. We love her.
Dr. Staciu was upfront and honest with my when answering my questions. She seemed very concerned that I was still having problems after my open heart surgery and did every thing she could that day to get to the bottom of it. She changed my prescriptions around and added another which have helped me get better.
it was and always is excellent.
Respectful, caring and informative.
Always enjoy going to this provider, she really seems to care.
This was my first visit with Dr. Steicu & she was outstanding!

I am very confident in Dr. Staicu and trust her to provide the best plan for my well being.
Dr. Staicu is GREAT. She answers all questions and explains what I should be doing to maintain my health in easy-to-understand terms.
The doctor was very late for appt. - Nurse was the best nurse I have ever had. so kind & caring.
I felt confident in Dr. Staicu. She was very informative about my condition.
Dr. Staicu is an excellent doctor.
great doctor, took almost an hour to get called back to see her.
Love Dr. Staicu.
The only complaint I have is that I asked the nurse who took my vitals to print me a copy of one of my test results for my records. He said he would but never did. Also when I originally called in 10/2018 to schedule my appt for 12/2018, the woman scheduled me for an appt in 12/2019 in error. I showed up at the office on the day I thought the appt was scheduled on ly yo be told I did not have an appt. That is when the booking error was discovered. I also could not reschedule the appt that day because the staff at the office does not do the scheduling so I had to go back home and call the next day, which was very frustrating. But to their credit, the scheduling nurse was able to get me in to see the Dr. within the next week, so really no harm done other than a wasted trip.
I totally trust Dr Staicu's expertise with my health issues
Same as always - good visit.
She was a specialist called in to consult and follow during my chemo therapy treatments. she agreed with medication my cardiologist already had me on but did order additional tests to monitor my heart. I was see very quickly.
She took time to listen to me.
thanks
dr was great. getting test results was like pulling teeth. nurse must have been super busy and/or disorganized. appointment was great. follow up from office sucked. getting the actual prescription was way too difficult and took too long.
Very satisfied. Dr. Staicu is very thorough exam and very compassionate about my feelings and concerns and she is looking out for my best interests.
Waiting time excessive and office staff unconcerned and seem to get things wrong on records. Can't find on computer
Dr. Staicu is ALWAYS medically on top of things. She explains details in laymen's terms. She is thoughtful, responsible, and always concerned about my well-being.
Dr. Staicu is the best, most caring, most attentive doctor I've ever seen and she really listens to what you say. That is a special quality.
Dr. Staicu is terrific!! As is her staff.
Irina is like family. Her staff always knows me even though I only see her once a year. I travel from Phoenix to Chicago to visit my provider. She is awesome.
great care
she was great and listening. explained everything that I could understand.
My appointments with this provider are always excellent.
Long time dr.
I enjoyed my visit with all I dealt with and found them professional and friendly which I Like.
9 days I waited for test results I finely had to call myself
I just love this doctor. She listens, cares and makes decisions based on my condition and input. I am very happy with the care she provides.
very professional and caring.
visit was professional and comfortable. Dr is great to talk to, she listens well and gives you a feeling of trust.
She is always friendly & cheerful. Makes you feel comfortable.
I was nervous but Dr. Staicu made us feel very comfortable and confident, she is amazing. We are extremely happy with her.
She made me much more comfortable about my occasional AFib problem.
First time visit with Dr. Staicu. Very relaxed atmosphere, everyone did their job which put me at ease. Easy to talk to; actually answered my questions in terms I could understand.
Dr. Irina Staicu is an amazing doctor - She goes out of her way to help & explain - She is the most cheerful doctor when I walk into her office - I wish that all doctors would be like her - I have recommended her to friends who don't like their heart doctor - Dr. Staicu is just a wonderful person!
