They are very pleasant. Dr Funieru is knowledgeable and informative. She can be a little brusque, which is not a problem for me, but to be honest for those who might be more sensitive read more

My daughter WAS her patient. I'd give a "no star" rating if possible. Very confrontational doctor who doesn't take the time to listen to her patients and is the "my way goes" type. Very degrading to her office team. My issue was with my daughter's medication that she prescribed. CVS Specialty pharm and insurance were connecting on the two different medication orders (one loading dose and one maintenance dose). I spent two hours on the phone with insurance and the pharmacy to fix the disconnect. At the end, we figured it out and the insurance was just asking someone in the doctors office to call and verify the prescriptions. Called the office and the doctor picked up the call. I explained to her what was wrong and she started yelling on the phone saying they sent the approval already - I was trying to explain to her the situation but she wouldn't have it. Ver disgusting attitude on the phone and no urgency to help her patients, which was my daughter. I'm mom advocating for my daughter. Beware of this doctor. Her medical staff was so much nicer than she. read more

So happy to have found Dr. Funieru and her staff! We moved to the area in early 2018 and are still trying to find our health providers. I had been to a dermatologist in Celebration for my annual skin check in late 2018 but didn't feel like he was right for me. He had deemed me good to go and I really just went to Dr Funieru for some SKs. Well, she found a couple of spots she didn't like and had them biopsied. Test results said they needed to be removed. So I've got a couple of places with stitches to be removed next week. I'd much rather have a small scar rather than what it might have turned into! read more

Legends Dermatology: Iulia Funieru, MD - They are at the far left door. I accidentally went into the salon next door the first time. - Dermatologists Near Me - Gate, Florida

Dermatologist appointment for spot on forearm. Dr Funieru took it off. When you have spots that don't look right it's always best to have it checked out. Frozen off. Cancer just isn't something to ignore. It's best to take care of a spot before it gets out if hand. read more

I took my teenage daughter to see Dr. Funieru to have a mole and rash checked. The mole is next to her Achilles' tendon and wasn't of any big concern, but we asked about having it removed. Dr. Funieru said it would only grow back . I've never heard of that happening and looked it up afterwards, and that only happens if all the mole tissue isn't removed. So maybe that's been her experience, but it shouldn't be the case. Another issue, the Doctor's assistant said this mole would be shaved and would not need stitches. Dr. Funieru said it would definitely need stitches and would leave a big scar, in addition to growing back. Needless to say, by this point we had lost total confidence. Seems very contradictory, why the 2 diferebt versiims if a mole removal procedure? My daughter also wanted a rash under her arms checked and Dr. Funieru proceeded to check her head/hair for psoriasis. Not sure why she was checking for something that wasn't even a problem and not what we came in for. Dr. Funieru's bedside manner is also severely lacking. I wouldn't say she's outright mean, but she's abrasive and comes across as rude and insulting. For example, when checking my daughter for moles, she blurted out that she had a lot of them. She doesn't, but again to an anxious young patient, this was concerning. Needless to say we won't be back and are still looking for a dermatologist. read more

Bed side manor is awful. I went to her twice because I thought she had a bad day the first time. I was in tears over embarrassing bumps after years and just wanted help. Prescribed me medication I was on prior to seeing her. When I needed a refill she demanded me to come in or else she wouldn't write me one. So I did and paid the 100.00. Got another refill for the same medication. Asked her about Botox because I was interested and was given the cold shoulder I'm assuming because I wasn't dressed the way a typical ChampionsGate residence would. Considering it was my only day off in 18 days and at an early morning appointment I wore leggings and a sweatshirt. She judged me by my looks. Why would anyone want to be seen by this woman is beyond me. Hope this helps. read more

I cannot rave enough about Dr. Funieru. She is such a kind, compassionate, and professional dermatologist. If you're looking for a dermatologist then look no further. Her office is located in a small square across from a Publix/McDonald's plaza in ChampionsGate. It's a nice small office but clean. The gentleman who runs the admin/check in desk is always super friendly and greets me by my first name before I even sign in( I've only come one other time). I saw them drive in together so maybe husband and wife or some relation? Idk but they run an amazing establishment. The nurse is always super friendly and professional too. It's nice coming into a doctors office to friendly faces because otherwise I'd feel cheated or uncomfortable. It's like a family here. Also my history with dermatologist have been horrible. I feel like I'm at an age where I know enough about my condition. I know generally which medicines work and don't, which measures doctors usually take for flare ups etc and a lot of dermatologists I've had do unnecessary things that costs me hundreds when I've told them repeatedly that I didn't think it was an issue. They wouldn't listen. My first time coming here she knew exactly what to do, listened, and understood what was happenning and offered different and cost effective solutions to try. Everything she recommended was amazing and for the first time she actually prescribed or recommended medication that I actually know to work as opposed to some other extra stuff. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Dr. Funieru. Honestly can't rave enough. The whole team treats you like a family and is an HONEST practice. read more

I recently moved to the area from out of state and noticed that my had miles that were getting darker so I wanted to get them checked out. This office was close to home and dentist/physician so I figured I'd give it a shot for a full body check. The receptionist was very nice as well as the nurses in the office. Dr Funieru had me undress to exam my entire body and I cannot stress it enough, that her and her nurse did not make me feel uncomfortable at all, like you would at a physicians office. She did some mole scrapings that looked to be concerning and Dr Funieru called me, personally, when one of them came back positive for melanoma. She scheduled me for the following week for removal and it was about a 20-30 minute process and her and her nurse were extremely comforting throughout the entire process and she called me with results about a few days later. Everything was good! I now have to go back every six months for body examinations to make sure everything is ok and I still feel so comfortable and admire how friendly the entire staff is. So glad I came here! read more

I went into legends dermatology hoping to get somewhere with my acne. Upon going there, I was greeted by the front desk and nurse. The nurse was very informative and took my information for the doctor. When Dr. Funieru came in the room to talk to me she was very dismissive and rude. She saw my charts and immediately began talking about how I planned to pay for Accutane and how its very expensive since i don't have insurance. She didn't talk at all about my skin or even address it, it was all about money from the second she walked in the room. She made very inappropriate remarks, even going as far as to say to go to another country to address my issues because she felt I wouldn't be able to afford the treatment. This was crazy to me because she even went as far as to say that the treatment plan(isotreninion, which includes monthly blood tests) would be cheaper in another country outside of the U.S. but they wouldn't do the necessary blood testing. In short she was "recommending" me to do something that is unsafe because she felt I couldn't afford it which wasn't the truth, I knew the cost of treatment before going to her office although she did lie about pricing and exaggerated the true price of treatment. This is not the way an ethical doctor runs a practice. To treat a patient so callously and unprofessionally is despicable and not the way a doctor should treat their patients. I came to this office hoping I would feel better about my skin and never did I expect to leave with this experience. I feel very saddened knowing that a doctors mission should be to help their patients feel better and she achieved the opposite. I even confronted her about it and she got very defensive and told me not to spread lies about her. I'm honestly at a loss for what to say..This was a consult I paid $110 for and this is how I'm treated?? I'd rather shred my money than hand it to her but what's done is done..I just feel that people should be aware of the kind of practice she runs and how she treats patients she feels are unworthy of her time. read more
