I had an absolutely wonderful experience with this provider. She was very informative. She listened to everything I had to say. She answered all my questions. She explained things to me that I didn't understand so that I could understand them. She was absolutely amazing and I would recommend her to anybody.

Emma always listens to what I have to say and is very kind and thoughtful and has supported me through my journey with epilepsy and I appreciate her very much. She explains things in a way that the average epileptic person will understand and also in a scientific way if you are interested in knowing it. Brigham has been really good to me. Thank you very much.

Dr Voinescu is a very good Dr. She is kind and thoughtful and most of all very familiar with my seizure disorder. I have been seeing Dr Voinescu for awhile and comfortable sharing with her the ups and downs of having Epilepsy, side effects of medications and daily living. Dr Voinescu always makes me feel better.

I really appreciate Dr. V. She has been so great with follow-up. You really feel like she cares. She listens. She is cautious. She tells you the way things are, as well as guiding you along the way, whether it's medication. I recently had a hospital stay. She came in I think every day, I think I saw her. So anyway, just a wonderful experience all around. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She really knows how to connect the dots. She's extremely intelligent, knowledgeable, as well as has an incredible bedside manner. So thank you.

Yes, she is very thorough. She listens to everything I have to say as a patient. I feel very heard by her and I feel like she considers everything when offering treatment options and a treatment plan.

I appreciate being squeezed in. And the approach to have a colleague doctor take the intake information was helpful and let the doctor spend all her time diagnosing and prescribing which was great. I wish the information I'd provided to my primary neurologist and neuro-ophthalmologist had been shared in detail - it was in the portal.
