“I sought a new primary care doctor after using the VA medical system for several years. I spoke to my wife’s doctor’s intake admin and I was effectively invited to apply and to be interviewed in 6 months to join. This is not the type of relationship I would like to choose for one of, if not the most professional relationship I need. So, my search for a solution continued and I found some podcasts and interviews about the Direct Primary Care model.
Gratefully and serendipitously, Dr. Petrescu‘s practice opened two weeks prior to my search for a Dr using this model in my area. I researched her and left a voicemail. Amazingly she called me the same day to discuss what I was looking for in a doctor. She personally answered all my questions about her experience, the services she offers, the nature of her practice and the direct care model. I did some more research and that night I completed my search and signed up with Dr. Petrescu. The next day she contacted me and she set up an intake appointment for the first day I had available. When I met with Dr. Petrescu I was listened to, I wasn’t rushed, and I was impressed with her even more in person than on the phone. She suggested I get some labs done, which I had done recently at the VA, so she suggested that I send her the VA results rather than spending money on another round of labs. I emailed her the notes for the past several years and later that day she and I discussed them via email (my choice for communication). I have an action plan I am comfortable with to avoid medication for an issue. I couldn’t be happier with my good fortune in finding Dr. Petrescu

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!

Dr. Laura has been my doctor since I moved to Rochester nine years ago and I can honestly say she’s one of the best doctors I have ever had. When she decided to leave Rochester Regional to start private practice in Pittsford, I didn’t hesitate to keep her as my PCP, even if it meant traveling further for my consultations. Dr. Laura is kind, gentle, thoughtful, an excellent listener and truly cares about her patients. I trust her and I trust her expertise. Now that she has her own practice, she can spend quality time with her patients really listening to their complaints and being a true wellness and health partner. The first time I went to see Dr. Laura at her private practice, she spent over an hour talking to me and learned more about me in that one session than she had in the previous nine years she’d been my PCP. I love the fact that there are multiple ways I can contact her (just today we exchanged text messages) and I have full access to her whenever I need to see her and she’s available. No more health insurance company rationing the care I get from my own doctor. Her lifestyle and weight counseling has also been a huge help for me. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Laura. I highly recommend becoming a member of her practice.

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.

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.

I had been looking for a Female Primary Care Physician for some time. Several of the providers that I researched were not taking new patients. I was in need of seeking a medical provider that would work with me to improve my overall health. I was fortunate to find Dr. Laura Petrescu via my husband who has been a patient in her practice for many years. After my first initial meeting, I was thoroughly impressed with her level of professionalism, compassion, approach and commitment to helping her patients. I feel comfortable that working with Dr. Laura I will achieve a healthier state. I am very pleased with my experience thus far with Dr. Laura Petrescu and look forward to a productive partnership in my care. I highly recommend Dr. Laura Petrescu to anyone looking for a Primary Care Physician whose primary focus is the patient care and partnership. Thank You Dr. Laura.

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 this outside the box professional. I trust her implicitly.
