She currently sees patients at her private practice, Allergy Asthma & Immunology Institute.

As the best allergist in Leesburg, Virginia, she has created an environment that is warm and welcoming while also providing state-of-the-art technology. Patients receive top-quality care together with the convenience of on-site services, such as pulmonary function testing.

A native of Romania, Dr. Ispas earned her medical degree from the Victor Babes University of Medicine and Pharmacy in 1990.

Allergy and immunology involve the management of disorders related to the immune system. These conditions range from the very common to the very rare, spanning all ages and encompassing various organ systems.
