I was seen early. Physician was great. Staff were very pleasant. My only concern was the parking. I was advised to return to the second floor to get my parking sticker stamped before going to the garage. However, I still had to pay and had difficulty with the process.

I am very fortunate to have Dr. Vilcu as my Endocrinologist. He explains my health issues and treatments and side effects that I may experience. Dr. Vilcu also provided me with reading material about my health issues and treatments, as well, so I will be educated in exactly what I'm dealing with. I like to be informed about my health issues and what to expect from treatments. I am very impressed by Dr. Vilcu's approach to keeping me informed about my health issues, and I appreciate his honesty and advice.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/23/2025
I appreciate that Dr. Vilcu was able to keep the atmosphere lighthearted even though he knew that I was anxious. I also appreciate that he was very caring when he administered my biopsy, that he was very apologetic. He knew that it was uncomfortable for me, but he knew that it was necessary. So I feel like he handled me with a lot of care and patience and compassion.

When I give it doctor my symptoms I expect a course directly to a solution to my medical problem and not solutions that the doctor knows don't work.

Four decades, I have sought care at Sinai Hospital for a diverse range of medical needs. Unfortunately, over the last eight months, I have observed a significant decline in the hospital's services and infrastructure. Low moral, poor sanitation, facility issues and staff shortages are troubling. I hope these concerns are resolved quickly.

- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/27/2025
Scheduling seems very tight due to the amount of patients vs doctors. Even though, I was seen in a timely fashion it would be nice to have more flexibility in planning my visits.

- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/18/2025
This was a first time visit. "Jackie ",the receptionist greeted me immediately upon entering. The Technician's friendly smile and conversation helped to remove first time uneasiness. Dr. Vilcu is a rare and real gem. He discussed and compared data from my medical history as far back as 2017. He gave a summary of information using computer images, personal drawings, giving explanations that I could grasp. At the same time, he was not condescending. I told my sister later, that at one point, Dr Vilcu acted like we attended medical school together ?. But I understood. He was so thorough that I asked if he taught at the university. From this first encounter,leaves me with a deep measure of trust in his knowledge and skills thus, relieving much concern about my health. THANK YOU SIR!

I've been a patient of Dr. Vilcu's for several years. He is a caring physician who keeps informed of all areas in his field and, thus, can impart valuable up-date-information on medical studies and physical fitness programs to improve my quality of life. While I live over two hours away, I would never consider changing my endocrinologist. He's great!

Staff and doctor are great. Only one grip is the inability to talk to someone on the phone. Myself and my pharmacy can not get through by phone and the pharmacy can't get any "updates" on my new prescriptions. No updates on my prescriptions, no meds are dispensed.

My doctor is very nice. The receptionist is very nice. When I go up there, everybody treats me nice, and my doctor always talks to me about my medication.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/7/2025
I recommend my provider because he's very conscious of what I'm dealing with. I don't have to keep explaining. Each time I see him, the same thing over and over again. He does read paperwork before I even get there, and he's always on time and very pleasant. Thank you.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/7/2025
I like the way Dr. Vilcu shows that he really cares, he listens, and he gives the advice you need regardless. I respect him as a doctor. I just really do. I'm glad he's my doctor.
