Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

She is friendly. She is patient to hear everything. I feel very comfortable with her. When she leaves the place. She informed me that. I don't know i got tears in my eyes. I felt some one in my family is leaving. I am here to thank her she treated me like this.

My Physician recommended Comp Women's Care. When calling in 2016 I was entered under Dr. Marinescu. In reading her bio, she was new, so I was a so nervous. I've heard stories about getting horrible doctors and in search of switching to a new doctor before a first baby was born.. I was expecting my 1st child. Well, she was a total Godsend. She made me feel so comfortable. She has the knowledge, compassion, work ethic...just everything you're looking for in a new doctor.

I feel so lucky to have Dr. Marinescu as my OB. When I moved to Columbus, I just happened to schedule my first appointment with her. I immediately felt comfortable. My husband and I were just starting to try for our first and her advice was gold. Upon finding out we were pregnant, she was as excited as we were and always welcomed our appointments with hugs. My labor and delivery had its complications but I never lost trust in her decision-making. She’s the best! Highly recommend.

Dr.Marinescu is a wonderful OB! She delivered by first child. I had complications and had to have an emergency c-section due to my medical issues. She was with me every step of the way and is an amazing listener. She is calm and extremely knowledgeable. Even my high risk doctor at Riverside had amazing things to say about her.

Dr.Marinescu is one of the best and I highly recommend her to family and friends alike. She covers all the bases thoroughly, truly listens, and takes the time to really explain things. When I am in her care, I know that things will be taken care of. The office staff is also very friendly and efficient. As far as Physicians in her field go, she is one of the best.

Can't say enough positive things about my experience with Dr. Marinescu. Even my husband who joined for many of our pregnancy appointments raves about her. She provided us incredible care and guidance and helped make the birth of our first child as "painless" as possible.

Dr. Marinescu was truly a light at the end of a dark tunnel. She and her staff made me feel comforted after losing a child and receiving poor care from another physician; totally trustworthy and a sincere approach. I feel very lucky to have her as my doctor.

Sweetest and most knowledgeable doctor ever! She never rushes through my appointments. I feel she is very attentive to me and my needs. She takes plenty of time to answer all my questions. She is genuine and caring. She is the kind of doctor that goes out of her way to help you and it's hard to find that now-a-days. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to see a female OBGYN.
