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.

She was very kind, asked all kinds of questions and answered all of my questions.

Excellent doctor
Took the time to discuss findings and treatment options with me rather than at me and answered every single 1 of the many questions I asked. What a relief during an otherwise medically unpleasant period my life. Glad I thankful I found her.

Would not recommend! Non communicator
I have been looking for a second opinion on my condition. Still not yet confimed what I am diagnosed with. My primary recommended her and I gave her a try. Boy, am I mad for this recommendation and I seriously wish I did not see her. The visits with her felt very rushed and problematic. I had concerns and questions which I could not ask at the time of appts. So I sent them via emails and not received one reply, (NOT ONE!!!) So, after multiple attempts to get a reply, still nothing. Why prescribe me medication when I can't understand what I am taking. Why don't you answer or help? I feel very defeated that I cannot find a Doctor that will help diagnose my condition. I do not understand why no one will give me answers despite fighting this for so long. The search for a new doctor continues in this never ending battle.

Wouldn’t recommend
Not a good experience. Cold harsh woman. I felt rushed. I see her as judgmental. She seemed not interested. She put unnecessary unprofessional comments in my my chart. I thought maybe she just had a problem with me but I see many patients had poor experiences with her. I don’t trust her. She made me feel like dirt

Careless Dr. Velicu
I live with headaches everyday, I was send to Simona Velicu and for my surprise, all she did was sit next to be with her laptop and tell me all the lab work that was done by other Doctor's, because nothing was found she could not do nothing for me, she said iam not trying to brush you off, but have you know that you taking Seroquel, than she continues to mention this med, and said it's for schizophrenia and ppl with psychosis, I explain to her that it was giving to me because I have issues sleeping, but she continues with the psychosis. She does not care to listen, nor she cares to truly help her patient, than when I went to my chart, it said she did a test ginger-finger, finger - nose, and heel- knee- shin, she did none of this, she is a cold person and I feel sorry for her, thanks's to her, I don't want to see other Neurologist.

Office visit
On a scale of 1-10 I would give Dr. Velicu a 20. I found her to be caring and compassionate and explained everything in a way that I could understand. I would not hesitate seeing her again or referring others to her.

Dr. Velicu did an awful act with no heart ! She refuse to show me my MRI results after consult with Dr. Claus ECMC where she is participating . She also worked in Cleveland after College in Poland . She contacted Cleveland Clinic to prohibit me treatment there so I can't hold her liable for not informing me the truth about my brain. Then ECMC used healthelink, Buffalo Medical Group, and Catholic Charities websites to disrupt me from any medical treatment to psychiatric treatment. I have never been her patient but she acts like my provider online and refuses to remove herself from MyChart and my life . Now I've suffered multiple cerebral/carotid aneurysms, encephalomalacia in occipital lobes, multiple strokes, and insults. How awful ! I'm now unable to ambulate. When I die because of your cruel slander online tofrom treatment anywhere in the world it will mostly be because of you and the lies you said and the things behind my back . Shame Stephanie Scudder and everyone who's following
