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.

Excellence With A Respectful Demeanor
Dr. Radu is always prepared for my office visits. He takes a quality amount of time with me as his patient.I never feel rushed or uneasy with Dr. Radu. He makes everthing very clear towards any of my diagnose spinal issues. He goes over all testing done on my body.I am informed and I'm given a plan of action to help ease my pain.I highly reccomend Dr. Radu and his very friendly office staff.

No compassion, empathy or bedside manner
I am a regular patient of the practice Dr Radu works at. I had to see him to get a specific injection because my Dr focuses on surgeries. He had no compassion, empathy or bedside manner. He didn’t listen to my concerns and frankly didn’t seem interested in the least bit. He told me the risks of the injection (i understand sharing risks) but blantly told me that this injection could puncture a lung or lead to me being on a ventilator for 3 months. It felt like he was just pushing me to say never mind to the injection. I have been waiting years to solve this pain and need this injection. I remember now why I told the practice years ago that I would NOT see Dr Radu again after a consult I had with him years ago. Go to Dr Kuhar at this practice instead, hes incredible!!!!

Excellent Dr.
I absolutely adore Dr. Radu. I have a very very bad back, and he takes me asap. He cares so very much. Recently I had my back shots ( Jan 2) these always work for me..unfortunately I simply bent down to pick up a small box that had garland in it, not heavy but I never got to the box. I heard a pop in my back.. oh it hurts so much. He immediately put me on a z- pack and started making quclick plans for another round of shots. This typically doesn't happen I have a neurostimulator in my back, but it won't charge. Dr. Radu is also helping me with Boston Medical. I think his review of 3.6 is ridiculous. He's such a great man/ Dr. I've had nothing but good experiences for the last 4 years!

Dr. Radu was kind and listened to my symptoms. He helped me get me on a program of medication, exercises, and injections. Best I've felt in years.

Dr.Radu pushed homeopathic remedies from the natural store across the road from his practice, he also had me buy a Tens Unit and when it came I paid my copay for an appointment with him to help my wife and I set it up.When we got there he told us to go home and "google it". I went to a physical therapist "another copay" but he set it all up for us . Never again bad bad doctor !!!

Unfeeling robot. Says I'm a OD risk because I cut my pills in half!? How does taking half my dose cause OD. He also said that opioid meds should be outlawed. Pushing bupe therapy. I'm guessing he's making bank from it

Dr radio has a horrible bed side manner. He appeared to have little interest in learning about my pain, and was generally difficult to talk to. I have only seen him once, so I can not review his competency when it comes to procedures.

Horrible experience. He acted as if we were a huge burden to him. He talked into his computer and rarely looked at us. He didn't do much of an exam or ask many questions. The small bit of information he gathered he seemed to forget 5 minutes later. I will not return there or ever recommend him or this practice.
