dr Antonescu is the best
dr a not only cares about your physical health but your emotional health as well
Dr. Antonescu has provided excellent healthcare to both of my children. They both are very comfortable talking to her and value Dr. Antonescu care and advice. As a parent, I am extremely happy with the excellent care she has provided to my children.
Dr. Antonescu somehow balances expedience and attention. I love her. My children love her. My nieces and nephews love her.
I respect this doctor and appreciate her thoroughness. We did, however, had to wait 1 HR 15 minutes to see her.
always a long wait in the lobby. my biggest issue with that particular office is too many patients at once. long waits and occasionally she seems rushed to see more. still a good pediatrician though.
sick call went perfectly
Dr. Antonesque is great Doctor! She is very intelligent,caring and compassionate. She has always been attentive to my son's medical needs and also our needs as parents with a sick child. My son could not have a better pediatrician! I have great respect for Dr. Antonesque and am grateful to have managing my son's healthcare.

The doctor and staff are great and explain everything well to me and they get me in when it is urgent. They are the best , love Dr. Antonescu!
Dr. Antonescu and her staff are top notch. They are always courteous and accommodating, and they treat my daughter so well. She has pretty much grown up in her office, and they always make her feel comfortable being there. Even if we have to wait a bit, it's not a big deal for us.
We have chosen the very best Dr my child could ever have. We are so very grateful and feel blessed to have a caring informative Dr who takes time to know and understand her patient and patients concerns and conditions. Because of Dr Antonescu my child is healthy. There is no other Dr I trust more when it comes to my child. Dr. Antonescu has been and is a blessing to myself and my child.

We love Dr. Antonescu but the wait time to see her is too long. It took a long time to be seen and took the staff awhile to gather their information to be ready for her.

Donia Antonescu has been the pediatrician for my children for many years. she is a top-notch physician who cares and always responds in a timely manner any time you call her, day or night. I can't think of one thing I could suggest she do better. she and her staff are wonderful and I feel blessed to have her on our side helping me make care decisions for my children. iIn my opinion, there is no better pediatrician in Western Pennsylvania that Donia Antonescu.
Dr. Antonescu is a great doctor. She is great with my son and I felt she took the things I had to say seriously. She explained things so that I understood and answered any questions I had. I cannot say enough good things about her, and I am so thankful to have her as my sons doctor. She has been excellent during past visits as well.

Doina Antonescu is an excellent doctor and has always provided my children with excellent care. she is always helpful and understanding!
Dr. Antonescu is by far the BEST pediatrician EVER!! She takes time to get to know both my kids and enough about our family to understand us as well as our circumstances when our kids our unwell. Dr. Antonescu is thorough and asks questions-while listening to the history of when an illness began! Dr. Antonescu is a wonderful doctor-with amazing bedside manner! We would never go anywhere else!
we wouldn't go anywhere else
Dr Antonescu and her staff are very courteous and listen to what we have to say before asking another question.
we couldn't be happier with doina and her staff! they are exceptional women who clearly show love and compassion for my children every single time we're there. I couldn't ask for a better doctor or staff! At four, my daughter looks forward to going to the doctor! they all know her by name, just as she knows all of them by name. they have created an atmosphere that is warm and welcoming to her. hands down, they are the absolute best!!!
I switched to Doina Antonescue right after my son was born she was the ONLY ONE who listened when I said he was having issues with his formula! She got us in and got him checked IMMEDIATELY, turned out he had severe acid reflux and was prescribed Ranitidine in every bottle and Alamentum!! Thank God for her!! She ALWAYS listens to all my concerns and questions and NEVER EVER makes me feel rushed or stupid for any question I ask thats why we stayed with her and switch whatever we need to, shes an actual trustworthy doctor and she has said on several occasions that I know my child best, that even if they arent exhibiting the symptoms that I describe at the time of the visit she LISTENS and that is INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT to me!!
love this provider .. would love to have a seperate area for sick kids aways from healthy kids for well visits
Dr A is the best she is always concerned with my children's over all health and excited for the accomplishments they achieve in anything
all great experiences!
Dr Antonescu and her staff are always very pleasant, helpful and courteous.
For the most part, I am happy with the care I receive for both of my children at this provider!
I never had any problems with ABC Pediatrics. Provider and staff always courteous, efficient and professional.
my son is overweight and we are working on our household to eat better. What I was upset with is how she told us my son was fat, his belly is Fat!! I was in tears when I left, because the look on my 10 yr old sons face!! She should find a different word other than fat!! I know my son will NEVER forget those words by her.
the office provides excellent service and care for my children! I adore Dr. Antonescu and her staff. They know and truly care about my children!!
We have always had wonderful experiences with the physician and staff. We always get an appointment when needed and have been happy with the knowledge and services provided.
