Doctor was knowledgeable, friendly, she knew my daughter's past history well. She offered a device to further treat my daughter's migraines. It is a wearable device that her teachers will be able to see in school. I believe this will help them take her condition more seriously. It will take a condition they cannot see to being viable.

Dr. Ciobanu is unique in how much she cares. She continually researches new treatments and wants to find what works best for me and what helps me. She not only cares about me medically, but cares how I am doing and encourages me with how I am managing my health. I could not ask for a better neurologist!

This was our first experience with Vandy and I can say it did not leave me wanting to go back... I am scheduling a neuro apt with our regular children's hospital. I did not feel heard or listened too- There really was no outcome of this appointment and basically I was told to go back to the dr who referred us to begin with. Given my child's health history- a referral and then to just feel brushed off- I was not happy. The dr. Was kind and knowledgeable it seemed, but just not a good appointment.

We will never go see Dr. C again. She was abrasive, rough with injections, not friendly, not talking my daughter through procedures. No soft skills and does not need to work with kids.

Dr. Ciobanu is one of the best doctors I have ever been to (and I've been to many). She is extremely knowledgeable and continues learning and researching about my condition. She is unique in her kindness and encouragement and constant determination to help me.
