The doctor, office and staff are friendly and efficient. The doctor took the time to listen and create a treatment plan.

AVOID AT ALL COST. A terrible Old office without a real doctor in charge. MANY DECISIONS ARE MADE BY OFFICE MGR. who isn't a doctor. Disgusting office. read more

Dr. Arimi has been my cardiologist for several years. I find her to be very professional, kind and caring. She is patient in working with me to find the appropriate treatment and despite her demanding schedule she has remained in contact with me throughout a weekend when I was having some cardiac issues. I recommend her very highly. read more

Front desk receptionist/scheduling receptionist is absolutely horrendous. Speaks with a constant condescending attitude. When I scheduled it a month ago she had the same attitude , when she called today to cancel my appointment for today because my insurance was inactive , again attitude. Spoke over me, zero listening skills, used words as in "I'm telling you" "you wanna pay cash" . Told her my insurance portal said ACTIVE , she said "well mine says inactive I don't know what to tell you" . Told her to cancel , yes I raised my voice, AFTER her crappy attitude. read more

Tried to obtain Yes or No answer from that doctor in regards to the use of a medication. The communication to the doctor is always blocked by a rude receptionist that claims every time that the patient must pay, even for a simple question. In summary this doctor acts like a little money making machine, if no money, no answers. Lack of professionalism and care for patients. Not coming back and don't recommend this place to anyone. read more

Dr. Arimie is an extraordinary human being and professional. She is extremely dedicated, patient, very knowledgeable, and kind. Being a doctor is very intricate and involves, besides knowledge, a lot of heart and patience, which is very, very rare today. She is very focused on providing the best care and the best solution, with respect and kindness. read more

Dr. Arimie's punctuality and office organization is awful. I've scheduled two appointments for her to call me and discuss my results BOTH of which she's missed and never called me. These are two problems among many that I've had with Dr. Arimie and her office - they forget to call me about important results, they don't call to let me know whether my insurance approved or denied a procedure, they definitely care more about the money than about the patients. Please find a doctor that will put your well-being first and don't waste your time here. read more

In my inititial consultation, I was shamed and blamed. As a former smoker, I told her that I had quit 19 years ago. Her quick response, "Yeah but now you're on an inhaler." When my blood oxygen level was lower than she wanted it to be, she said, "MY blood oxygen level is 99 or 100!" Then she turned to her assistant and said to me, "And HER blood oxygen level is 99 or 100, too." I left in tears and never went back for the stress test. Yes, I am sensitive, but if a doctor wants you to get healthy, he or she should not make you feel horrible, or like you are a bad person. read more

My experience with Raluca and her team have been awful and absolutely unprofessional. I was referred to her by my physician as a result of abnormalities found in my EKG in an attempt to get clearance for cosmetic surgery. My first and only office visit (October 11th) left me concerned and extremely stressed out as I needed the clearance by October 18th. Upon my first visit, she had an EKG tested on me with the same results as prior. As a cardiologist, I would assume or have some confidence in my doctor to be knowledgeable of what they are reading on paper. However, Dr. Arimie made me feel nervous, yet not concerned. She stated given the background of my health and well-being (mind you I am in shape enough to scale big mountains at high altitudes), that I should not worry about the abnormalities of the results seen on the EKG machine. She also noted that I do not have any heart murmurs and my lab test results came back with no issues including normal blood pressure, no diabetes, or anything that would insinuate an actual cause of concern. Regardless, she still wanted to run a stress echo test just to make sure while simultaneously stating how this test still will not give her any reassurance. Go figure. I'm sorry but if you want me to take a test that will not give you comfort or what you are looking for, why have your patient incur a medical bill that is worthless?! Meanwhile, Dr. Arimie confidently reassured me that I will have clearance by the 18th and I should not worry. She also stated that I am at low-risk for the medical procedure that I was scheduled to get done. A week passes by and I received a call from the office informing me that my insurance denied the request. Surprise? Not really. Quickly, thereafter Dr. Arimie went MIA. I then referred back to my nurse and anesthesiologist for my cosmetic surgery and informed them of the status of what was going on. At this time, the nurse and anesthesiologist reviewed all of my medical history, lab results, and lastly, my EKG results. My anesthesiologist had some questions to clarify with the cardiologist, Dr. Arimie. Both the nurse and anesthesiologist called Dr. Arimie and her office countless times a day for multiple days. They were exhausted by the time they came back to me and just did not know what else to do. I finally called the office myself and much to my dismay, I was dealing with an unresponsive and unreliable doctor that was consistently unavailable. Today (Oct 27th), I FINALLY received a call from the doctor's office and not Dr. Arimie herself, but the office manager. She stated that the doctor will ONLY correspond through written documents and through fax. However, she mentioned she wanted me to take an echocardiogram which is an ultrasound that I could pay for out of pocket. Here I am, 5 days before my surgery and Dr. Arimie will not even pick up the phone to speak with another doctor, the anesthesiologist. To me, there is something shady going on. Could it be solely for the purpose of getting money?? If you really care about your patient's well-being and have some concerns, would you not try and schedule the echocardiogram well before the 27th of October??? I relayed the information back to my anesthesiologist and we are just upright done with her. Furthermore, the staff at the office is extremely unprofessional. I have had some attitude given to me with a couple of them when explaining the urgency of the issue. I don't get any returned calls when they say they will. At this time, I am locating a more professional cardiologist who is ATTENTIVE and not wishy-washy. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Don't waste your time. Please go to another cardiologist, one who is more technologically advanced with professional staffing including the doctor itself. read more

Dr. Arimie is the most caring kind woman ever. She offered her services, even when I only had medical, which her office does not take. She just wanted to make sure I was ok. She is a true example of what we need in this world. I truly truly appreciate her. read more

The women behind the counter are very unprofessional and laugh at patients bc the patient is hard of hearing and needs to be repeated. I found it very upsetting and disrespectful. Also, they over schedule their appointments and have you waiting at least an hour before even called back to room. My grandma's appt. was for 3:30 and she was finally called 45 min after. There was a couple waiting with appt. for 3pm and they got called back 1 1/2 hours after appt time. So unprofessional and not quiet about it. The whole lobby can hear everything they say and do. read more
