Incredibly brilliant Otolaryngologist

Wonderful experience! I felt heard and taken care of by this very caring, intelligent, and attentive Dr..I was very concerned over my sudden symptoms. He was very reassuring and took the time and all the information into account before prescribing the appropriate medication. I am apart of a Facebook group that has experienced the same symptoms but hardly the same care I received from Dr. Petcu. I feel incredibly blessed to know that he will continue to care for me moving forward on this unprecedented journey I am now on.
