Dr. Richard Cristea, MD

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.

rushed through my test, didn't talk to me, just did the test and ignored when i asked for a break. left immediately after the test was over while i was having asthma attack from it. do not recommend.

He answered my concerns regarding my visit.

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. Dr. C. said he didn't receive them, I checked the front desk, they were sent, he had them. My husband had spine surgery last year, when Dr. C. saw the name of the Spine Dr. he said "If you're going to continue being his patient, I will not treat you.I inquired why, he said "Don't you read the newspapers"? I did read on Healthgrades that Dr. C. was brought before the Board, re: medication & PROFESSIONALISM. He had to complete 16 hrs. education, it didn't do any good!

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 her so he can get me in and out fast. It's a big hoax. They do every ct scan, breathing test, sleep study, diet doctor, etc in this building. They're definitely padding their pockets. He likes to refer patients to his brother who's the sleep dr in the building, Dr Salberg. Dr Cristea is VERY hyper, to the point of making me wonder why, if you know what I mean. It's a full time job running back and forth to every test and every appt. I won't go back there. Next!

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

His MA is TERRIBLE AT RETURNING CALLS, getting prescriptions filled or doing anything!

Once again, the entire Neurological Institute is a complete and utter scam. If I were to rate their services I would rate them at a negative 5. This is the worst group of physicians I have ever dealt with in my life.

Dr. Cristea is a rarity. He is brilliant and takes the time to be with you to talk with you and to perform all the tests necessary to really find out what is wrong and how best to fix it.

Excellent

Simply the best!

Could not ask for a more knowledgeable Neurologist. Slightly different bed side manner, but he has his patient’s best interest at heart at all times. He goes far above and beyond to provide exceptional care! Wonderful staff too! You are in the best of hands with this Doctor!!

We were very thankful to get a same day appointment. Dr.Cristea was very friendly. Was able to diagnose pt with no problem. We had already been to three other Drs and they had no idea.

Does testing fur money and to rape your insurance BEWARE THIS OUTFIT IS BAD NEWS

Experience ear/throat pain for over five years. Saw three ENT doctors and they were not able to make a proper diagnoses. First visit I received correct diagnoses and now on the road to recovery,
