About Cristina R. Ionescu
Professional Statement
Get To Know Me
I provide my patients with evidence-based medical information, listen to their needs and help them make the best decision for their health.
What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
Communication is the cornerstone of primary care. I expect my patients to openly tell me about their problems and needs. In turn, I will be honest about the options available to them.
How do you spend your personal time when you're not caring for patients?
I generally spend my free time fishing, cooking or curled up with a good book.
Why did you choose your specialty and what is its greatest reward?
I chose internal medicine because I can see patients at all different stages of their life. The greatest reward is the continuity of care you have with your patients.
