I return for treatment as well as recommend Dr Chiunda to all of my friends and others who may mention issues with their feet or ankles, because in my opinion, this is what a Medical Professional should be?She is highly knowledgeable and communicates in a manor that is both understandable and compassionate, yet specific in terms of the recommendation of medical treatment.She is what I believe is what sets apart The Cleveland Clinic!

I have seen Dr. Chiunda two times. She is wonderful. Knowledgable. Courteous. Interested in listening to me. And, funny. Not funny comedian, but willing to joke a little and laugh at/with what I said. KEEP HER!

I have been a patient of Dr. Chiunda for several years. She has been a model of what I expect a doctor to be. She is caring, but not overwrought, always considerate of a patient's input, always engaging but never imposing.
