Dr. Popa is one of the BEST doctors I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and having as a doctor. I first saw her in 2008, and she still has the same wisdom, expertise, and genuine kindness and care for her patients that I experienced way back then. She has gone over and above what is expected to ensure that the takes the best care she possibly can of her patients. I know, because I have seen it personally. She is indeed a rare jewel in today's environment of fast, cookie-cutter medicine.

I have been a patient of Dr. Popa for almost 20 years. My entire family history is filled with persons diagnosed with diabetes who did not fare so well and lived a life without all their limbs. I have been a diabetic for 26 years this year. Dr. Popa has been my physician and trusted adviser on health matters, nutrition related to diabetes control and management, as well as seeing me through other medical conditions with regard to related impact being a patient with diabetes. I believe her advanced training, extraordinary knowledge, patient-centered counsel, on-going guidance, and care have kept me from many of the inherent problems diabetics who are not well managed face every day. She and I have a professional doctor patient relationship because she gives me her time and attention and seeks to know me and my perspectives, because she can guide but I make the choices for my daily living. Thank you for having doctors like her and her exceptional staff. I know I am living longer and more healthy because of all of the contributions. She's made to my life and care grateful I am..
