What should a new client know about working with you?

Mihaela has treated patients of all walks of life. Her current patient population ranges from toddlers to patients aged 80 years+. She is a very welcoming provider, with patients commending her for making visits comfortable. She is an active listener, ensuring she listens to her patients and avoids taking over. Trust is a big part of her treatment method, so she ensures that a patient is fully agreeable to any treatment changes to make sure patients are not only satisfied but also more involved in their own care. During her visits, a patient would experience a motivational interviewing technique that encourages them to believe in themselves and in the treatment she may order. In all, Mihaela is a provider who makes sure that patients are listened to and empowered to reach their healthcare goals

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My process for working with patients is designed to be collaborative, transparent, and tailored to their specific goals. We start by discussing the patient's needs, goals, and expectations. This helps clarify what success looks like and the scope of the project. I try to gather relevant information, analyze the context, and propose strategies or approaches that fit my patient's objectives. I outline the deliverables, timelines, and required resources. At this stage, both sides, the patient and I, confirm what will be delivered and when. I create or implement the required solution—whether that’s sending the appropriate meds, designing, analyzing, handling data, or developing a strategy. Throughout this stage, I maintain open communication to ensure that the patient and I are on the same page. The patient and I will review deliverables, provide feedback, and make necessary adjustments to ensure everything meets the patient's expectations. Once the visit is finalized, I will deliver the completed work and will offer ongoing support and updates if needed.

I am so fortunate to have worked with Mihaela Pendos CRNP. I was experiencing a crisis created by a previous provider, and Mihaela welcomed me with so much kindness and understanding. Her knowledge is apparent, which left me at ease when asking any questions. This is the kind of provider who works hard to understand you and help you.

Helpful and friendly - she listened to my concerns before helping me with medication management. Would definitely book with this provider again:)
Verified patientVideo visit
When I was looking for a new doctor to fill the medication i was already on, I wasn’t looking for anything specific in which doctor I was going to choose, however Ms. pendos immediately stood out to me for whatever reason, i just had a good feeling about her and thats why I chose her. Im glad i did because my instinct was right. The appointment went better than i ever expected, and she made it feel more personal and comfortable by the questions she asked and how genuinely she seemed to care. I haven't found a doctor I've felt this comfortable with since the provider i was seeing for over 2 years was no longer able to fill my prescription due to new laws instated within her practice, which left no choice but to find another. Even the ones ive seen after, that were in the same practice ive been with for so long, didnt feel as thorough, caring and genuine as she has during my first appointment and i look forward to seeing her again this month. I highly recommend booking with her!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Dr. Pendos saw that I was having trouble and literally COLLOABORATED with me on a treatment plan. She heard me, I felt seen and cared for. This is huge because as an African American young woman, I am not often heard by providers and pushed off. Not by Dr. Pendos, she did everything she said she would do and had me feeling a little better by this weekend with the plan we came up with. Thank you! If I had a million tongues I will say it a million times more.
