Dr. Laura is awesome. We met for an extended time to review my medical history and bloodwork. Dr. Laura came ready with a nutritional plan prepared for me including easy to follow recipes, then explained in detail the evidence behind the plan during our visit. I am very excited for positive health results moving forward. Dr. Laura is very responsive by email & text which are both secure. It makes communication so easy & convenient when I have questions. Thank you Dr. Laura! - B.H.R.

Even before my first visit to Athena Direct Primary Care, Dr. Petrescu called me personally to discuss any health concerns I might have. This personal attention was invaluable to me and following my visit, I was even more thrilled to have her as my primary care doctor. She is so easy to talk to, thorough, informative, and professional…and pays attention to mental health as well as physical. What I love most is direct access to Dr. Petrescu; she takes the “worry” out of waiting for hours, or days, for a call back from a doctor’s office. Highly recommend this service. -M.P.

Dr. Petrescue is like no doctor I've ever had before. I never feel rushed. Instead she takes the time to listen to me, answer all of my questions, and help me become a healthier person. She's always available right away if I'm sick and need care or medication and is very knowledgeable and attentive. 5 stars isn't enough! -F.M.

Dr. Petrescu is far and above the best doctor I've ever worked with. She's kind, thorough, perceptive, and highly knowledgeable. She actually cares about her patients and her thoughtfulness comes through when you're speaking with her. She prioritizes dietary and lifestyle changes over medication and prescriptions which I think is a breath of fresh air these days. She's very easy to get a hold off and makes an effort to respond to you in a timely manner. I can't recommend her enough. -A.C.

Dr. Petrescu is patient, caring and takes the time to listen to concerns. This is a new experience for me. The typical doctor's office feels more like a factory (in and out in 15-30 minutes) whereas going to Dr. Petrescu I am able to discuss all concerns and feel like my health is taken seriously. In addition to that, she typically returns calls/texts with questions or requests within 24 hours, most times within 2-4 hours.

Kudos also goes to Jennifer who is organized, caring and ensures everything regarding my visits is prompt.

If most doctors operated their offices like Athena Direct Primary Care does, we would all be healthier. -A.T.

I’m so thrilled to be a patient at Athena Direct Primary Care and Lifestyle Medicine! Dr. Laura Petrescu is incredibly caring and knowledgeable. She is deeply involved in patient care and offers you the best possible solution to your health needs. Having unlimited access to your doctor is priceless! I highly recommend this practice! - D.D.

Dr. Petrescu and Jennifer are amazing people that create a welcoming atmosphere within the office that seems to be missing in many others these days. To go to the doctor’s feels like you’re just a number, pushed along to get through to the next patient. Dr. Petrescu’s office is an outlier in that regard, I feel that my concerns are heard and that solutions are being explored for whatever may be ailing me. I’ve been a patient here going on two years and will continue to be one for years to come. - T.S.

Dr Petrescu has been my doctor for over 5 years. She is very knowledgeable and thorough in her assessments, very kind and compassionate. I always feel confident I get the best care. Highly recommend her. - O.D.

Dr Petrescu takes the time to talk through a true preventative health care plan. No 15 minute appointments with a different provider every visit. I feel that Dr Petrescu gets to know her patients and truly prioritizes their needs. When I developed sudden concerning symptoms, I was able contact Dr Petrescu and her Nurse, Jennifer for guidance and recommendations rather than spending hefty copays to see a provider I have never met. This is truly how Primary Care should be! - M.C.

Dr Petrescu is one of the most meticulous and thorough doctors that I have had the pleasure to work with! She treats everyone like family and is definitely a think outside the box professional. I trust her implicitly. - P.T.

We’ve worked with Dr. Petrescu for a few years now and while we loved her, we were not happy with the corporate medicine approach and now that we have direct access to Dr. Petrescu it’s the best care we have had probably ever! Dr. Petrescu is an extremely knowledgeable and caring physician and we really appreciate this new approach to our medical care. - A.L.
