What Our Patients Say

Dr. Mocanu is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is treating me for a kidney condition and has been incredibly accessible and invested in my treatment plan. She has also been proactive about other health related concerns, despite the fact that they are not directly related to my kidney issue. She encouraged me to get a second opinion and has worked seamlessly with that physician. I am incredibly grateful that I found her and would highly recommend her.

Dr Mocanu is knowledgeable, patient, and a good listener. My first encounter with Dr Mocanu was on 8/20/26 and she was amazing. When I arrived she had all my lab work and all other test findings that other doctors had requested. She went over all the findings, one by one. She is clear and confident in her approach. She was patient, listened and tended to all my thoughts, questions and needs. She explained, in detail, of my health condition and what steps needed to be taken for my well being. I highly respect her knowledge and would recommend anyone who was having a problem to make an appointment to see Dr Mocanu. I intend to follow her to her new location this fall. She is an amazing doctor with a outstanding bedside manner! Joanne

Dr. Mocanu is the kindest, hardest working, and most attentive doctor I have ever had the privilege of working with. I came to her with ongoing issues that had been passed from specialist to specialist with no resolve. Dr. Mocanu worked diligently with me to help get everything straightened out and continues to support and follow up on care. She truly cares about her patients and that makes all the difference!

I am so incredibly grateful for Dr. Mocanu. From the very beginning, she has been thorough, compassionate, and genuinely invested in my health & well-being. Since becoming her patient, my health has improved tremendously, and my numbers have been so much better. She doesn't just focus on one issue or one set of numbers; she looks at you as a whole person. She takes the time to listen, asks thoughtful questions, explains things clearly, and makes you feel like your health is genuinely important to her. I always feel heard and never rushed during my appointments. I would highly recommend Dr. Mocanu to anyone looking for a doctor who truly listens, cares, and is committed to helping her patients achieve better health.

Dr. Mocanu is an exceptional physician. Given the challenges of the health care system, it is rare to find a physician who stays current with trends in her field, who is knowledgeable, caring, thorough and beyond conscientious. She listens, responds and suggests using the knowledge she has gained from many sources, including but not limited to medical journals, medical conferences and her practice. Dr. Mocanu is very responsive, which is not the case with many other practitioners. Dr. Mocanu is a gem and I feel fortunate to have found her.

I saw Dr. Mocanu regarding recent kidney function numbers. Not only does she have the experience, but is professional, knowledgeable and thorough. And more importantly, she is caring, responsive to questions and takes initiative with your healthcare even on her day off...A rare combination with today's providers! I have seen specialists at major university medical centers in Phila. & NYC and would hold Dr. Mocanu in the same esteem as those other doctors.

Dr. Mocanu was extremely thorough in examining the possible causes of my kidney disease and listened attentively and patiently to my concerns. She provided an abundance of information for me to research and pursue outside of my appointment to address my medical issues. Dr. Mocanu is extremely knowledgeable and competent and, above all, has a very kind and caring manner.

Knowledgeable, conscientious doctor. She has no office staff. The office isn't synced with lab corps so scheduling testing is more complicated. She does her own scheduling sometimes without consulting patients.
Grace Baum
Mar 2026
Dr. Mocanu helped me receive the care and treatment I needed that was missed by every other doctor I have seen. She is caring, thoughtful, and will bend over backwards to make sure her patients are well-taken care of, even when it means calling late at night on a Sunday to check on you. She is the most thorough physician I have ever seen and has taken charge of managing my chronic illness when every other doctor I had seen sent me away. She genuinely wants to treat her patients with their preferences in mind and is not quick to prescribe medicine to band-aid an issue. I am so grateful to her and the time she has put into me as a patient, including advocating for me against insurance agencies. I cannot recommend her enough!

Dr. Mocanu is absolutely amazing. I truly cannot say enough good things about her. She was able to get us in right away and has been performing what feel like miracles ever since. My elderly father has resistant hypertension, chronic kidney disease, and several other medical issues. He had seen multiple physicians, and despite different medication regimens, his blood pressure remained uncontrolled and ultimately led to a hospital admission. Before even meeting us, Dr. Mocanu thoroughly reviewed my father's chart and picked up on several important details in his prior testing that had previously been overlooked. She spent an incredible amount of time explaining his disease processes in a clear and thoughtful way, walked us through her reasoning for each medication change, cited relevant medical literature, and made sure we truly understood the plan. What truly sets her apart is what happened next — she stayed closely in touch with us, checking in regularly and making thoughtful medication adjustments as needed. I'm happy to say that he is now in a completely different place. I cannot recommend Dr. Mocanu highly enough.

Dr. Mocanu is a wonderful doctor. The level of care that she provides to her patients is exceptional. Her kindness and compassion are exemplary and she is very thorough in all of her communications and visits. She also is very prompt in responding to any questions or concerns including after hours. Dr. Mocanu was a blessing to my mother, during a very scary time. Everyone should have a caring doctor like her!

Dr. Michaela Mocanu specializes in kidney, blood pressure and weight/diet diseases. She is an excellent and active listener, never stints on our time together, and is very clear, knowledgeable and thoughtful when she speaks. Because I have kidney, blood pressure, heart and vascular diseases, Dr. Mocanu's multiple credentials and holistic approach to health care are perfect for me. We look at my history, symptoms, labs & behaviors and discuss various solutions. She has been eager to share links and reprints from her many resources, look up current information and talk with colleagues about my conditions. She goes to many conferences to stay up to date. Our goal is to help me better manage my health so that I can continue to live my fullest, most rewarding life. We are succeeding and I recommend her highly. I am 79 years old.

Dr. Mocanu is hands down the most caring doctor and I feel so fortunate to have found her! She truly listens and gets to the root causes of ailments. She builds a comprehensive treatment plan, keeping all aspects of health and wellness in mind, including more natural approaches. My cholesterol has been far too high for a few years and other doctors did not seem concerned. She put me on a low dose of medication with no side effects and my numbers lowered drastically in just a couple weeks. She checks in via text periodically to make sure I am doing ok and to tailor and hone my treatment if needed. I feel so much better knowing I have a highly intelligent, professional, and kind doctor on my care team. I highly recommend her!

I was found to have reduced kidney function by my annual routine blood tests. My PCP was stumped and sent me to Dr. Mocanu. I was able to get an appointment promptly and had a detailed evaluation. She was able to expedite the testing and walked me through each result to develop the diagnosis and treatment plan. She has always answered all of my questions with detailed and evidence based information. I am well on my way to better health and not only improved my kidney scores, but improved my blood pressure and lost weight! She is the most patient and caring doctor that I have ever encountered in my many years in health care.

My visit with Dr Mocanu exceeded my expectations. I was fortunate enough to find her. Though she was out of network, I could not have found a better doctor. I was dealing with a hereditary family kidney disease as well as hypertension. She is compassionate, kind and very knowledgeable. She took the time to answer all my questions and gave me a thorough examination. I am in a much better place today. She also makes the extra effort to follow up and give advice.

Dr Mocanu provided truly wonderful care to my family member. She took the time to figure out what was really going on, which no other doctor had been able to do.

I was looking for a weight loss doctor and got Dr Mocanu's contact info from LillyDirect's website. My first in person visit with her was way more encompassing than I expected. The time and caring that she gave me was unexpected. In addition to my weight management I have been able to, with Dr Mocanu's advice, get off my PPI medication and am about to discontinue my blood pressure medication.

Dr Mocanu is unlike any doctor I've ever seen. She's up on not only the latest research in kidneys, but also what previous research said. She's friendly, welcomes questions and invites follow-up discussions. I feel fortunate to have found her.

Dr Mocanu showed a real personal interest in evaluating my condition and taking appropriate measures to address these issues. Additionally she had me download a Chat App in order to communicate any questions or concerns that may arise re my care, out of the office. Her evaluation was extremely thorough and she made several recommendations including medication changes which have had a positive effect on my health issues. She demonstrates warmth and compassion in helping me deal with some concerning health issues, in addition to her expertise in these areas. I would highly recommend her to other patients.

I met Dr. Michaela Mocanu from a google search in King of Prussia. She was able to see me that very day. Spent two hours going over everything. Recommended that I get a blood pressure cuff and track my pressure twice a day for the next week and get back to her. Given her initial take my concerns were erased. She is an amazing Doctor and even more amazing human being.

Dr. Mocanu is one of the best physicians I have ever encountered. She is very detailed and thorough and provides the highest quality comprehensive care. She saw my father, a very complicated elderly male patient and read through many pages of past medical history, tackled each problem one by one, and provided concrete solutions as well as very compassionate care. Her bedside manner and interactions with patients can only be described as kind and the epitome of compassionate care. If you have the opportunity to select Dr. Mocanu as your primary care physician, you will be one of the very lucky few to have such outstanding concierge service for your healthcare.
Carmen T

Dr. Mocanu is not only an incredibly intelligent doctor, but she takes her time evaluating her patients' background before you even get to your appointment so that she can be prepared as to what exactly she wants to discuss with you and any conditions you may have. She is kind and very thorough, and somebody you will want on your team of doctors for sure! I took my father there to see her about his stage 3 kidney disease and I would definitely go back for any one of my other family members or myself.
Joseph Viglione
Jun 2024
I met Dr. Mocanu on an Urgent basis, as my primary physician would not clear me for surgery until I engaged a Nephrologist for my kidney issues. Dr. Mocanu was outstanding! She arranged to meet me within the week, but in the interim, she reviewed my data and called-out additional tests that she needed. When I arrived Dr. Mocanu had a report covering my history, the specified blood work, urine analysis, and ultrasound. She walked me through each of the important categories and explained what the numbers meant. We also discussed things I should and shouldn't do to mitigate the progression of kidney disease. Dr. Mocanu went above and beyond in responding to my urgent request. I highly recommend Dr. Mocanu and her practice. 10+

Exceptional doctor who treats you like a person - not a number. Diligent, knowledgeable and thorough. After a few doctors dismissed my symptoms and labs, she never relented in finding an answer while making sure I understood test results and next steps. You will not find many doctors like her; ones that spend time with their patients and are advocates for their care.
Britney Breci

Dr. Mocanu was fantastic! She is extremely knowledgeable and truly cares about her patients. She took all the time plus more that I needed to fully explain everything, and she took the time to listen to me and my concerns. The documents that she sent me before and after my visit with notes about my condition has been so very helpful. Most doctors don't take the time to provide that level of care to their patients. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
Christine Chamberlain

My experience with Dr. Mocanu has been nothing short of incredible. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and beyond. Dr. Mocanu listens intently with care and will stop at nothing to ensure your best care. I have been so impressed with her level of dedication, including taking on my insurance company in what seemed to be a losing battle for necessary medication. She refused to give up for me and was successful!! I am so grateful for all she has done for me. I recommend her highly.

I was recently referred to Dr Mocanu from my primary because of a high potassium issue I have been dealing with for 4 plus years, 20 different specialists and 4 ER visits. Dr Mocanu was able to find a solution within 2 visits. The anxiety and worry she lifted from my life is priceless. One of the most educated doctors I ever met especially after a 4 year run around. Thank you again for preserving my health and mainly my mental sanity.
