Their team always do a nice job making you feel at home. Dr. Stanciu is knowledgeable about many medical subjects, with a great sense of humor.

I never imagined I’d be writing a review like this, but my experience with Dr. Alina Stanciu was so traumatic and abusive that I feel obligated to warn others. When I first met Dr. Stanciu, I actually liked her. She spoke confidently about being “the best in the industry,” and I wanted to trust her expertise. But what happened during my appointment was the most humiliating and degrading experience I’ve ever had with a medical professional. I came into her office with $1,000 to spend, which was what I could afford. Instead of working with me, Dr. Stanciu immediately started criticizing my appearance, telling me I looked “tired and worn out” and that in my industry, I should “represent what I’m doing better.” She wasn’t giving professional advice—she was putting me down in a way that felt personal and cruel. When I started crying, overwhelmed by how she was speaking to me, she accused me of having mental problems and told me I needed to “change my antidepressants.” She said this while injecting me, ignoring the fact that I was visibly upset and crying during the procedure. The appointment became a nightmare I couldn’t escape from. She also spent time mocking and belittling other professionals in the industry, bragging that she was an expert and others weren’t. Then she looked at me and said I was a “charity case” and, with a demeaning tone, told me, “I’m not a magician—you expect magic with $1,000?” The way she said it made me feel worthless, as if I didn’t even deserve to be there. Despite my budget, through her constant pressure and shaming, I ended up spending $1,700. I was embarrassed, I was hurt, and I felt bullied into spending more money just to be treated decently. When the appointment was over, she told me not to come back for the standard two-week follow-up. When I went to check out, the receptionist was confused and reminded me to schedule a follow-up, but I had to explain that the doctor told me not to return. It felt like she just wanted my money and wanted me gone. After I left, I went home and threw up continuously from the stress and emotional abuse. For context, I am a stage IV cancer survivor. I’ve been in 12 different hospitals and have had over 200 doctors involved in my care. I have fought for my life through chemo, surgeries, and procedures. Never—not once—has any doctor treated me the way Dr. Stanciu did. She completely disregarded her duty as a physician. The compassion, care, and basic human decency that every doctor should have was entirely absent. This experience was not just poor service—it was emotional abuse, and it left a lasting impact on me. I hope my story helps others make informed decisions. No patient deserves to be treated this way.

I recently had lip filler treatment with Dr.Stanciu and I am thrilled with the results! From the moment I walked in, the staff was warm and welcoming, making me feel comfortable. Thanks to Dr. Stanciu's skillful technique, my lips looked fuller and beautifully defined without being overly exaggerated. I love how natural they look, and I've received so many compliments!

From the staff at the front desk, to Dr Stanciu herself, I have never experienced a higher degree of professionalism & kindness. Dr Stanciu has an eye for detail & helped me figure out a suitable plan for services. She answered every question/ concern I had and has definitely earned a referral to my clients & friends! In addition, I will absolutely be returning for future services/purchases. Thank you!!
