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.

The best doctor you will ever be treated by
Dr. Tomescu is BY FAR the BEST doctor I’ve been treated by. She is very thorough and takes amazing care of every patient she treats. She goes above and beyond to make sure you are safe. We need more doctors like her.

CHOP patient – Oct 25, 2022

Dr. Tomescu and me
I have been a patient of Dr. Tomescu for over 10 years. I really like her character. time spent with me at my appointments and concern for finding the right solution for whatever is ailing me. However, at the same time she is slow to get back to me for results and also when I call with an existing problem. Thus she is always apologizing and this is just unacceptable. I am a 79 year old woman and everything I have read is about Dr. Tomescu is Pediatric Medicine. Am I with the right doctor.?The absolute kicker is when I was misdiagnosed by a team of doctors after being admitted through ER and she called and asked me if “hospice was a consideration” Never even calling to see how I was doing or feeling. Why would my primary doctor of over 10 have do little regard for me.

After having the misfortune of being misdiagnosed with organ failure by CHOP adolescent medicine, our daughter was forced to spend hours in the ER undergoing tests, which were all normal (vitals, labs, physical exam, EKG, weight and BMI). She had a low heart rate, stable for over 3 months at that point, that was explained by the fact that she was a runner (this was later confirmed by a cardiologist as well). The ER physicians agreed that we could go home, but Dr. Tomescu continued to support the original misdiagnosis, with complete disregard for any test results or medical evidence. She was completely unreasonable, refusing to independently assess the evidence or have a discussion with us about the facts. She had us detained for hours, and then told us we were wasting her time. We refused to allow her to cause our daughter irreparable trauma, but we shudder to think what could have happened if we didn't fight back. This is not someone who should be treating adolescents.
