Beebe announces new neurologist and new neurology practice

Beebe Healthcare welcomes Maria Ionita, MD, a board-certified neurologist who will see patients at a new neurology practice in Lewes.

Beebe Neurology is located at 33672 Bayview Medical Drive, Suite 1, Lewes. Ionita is accepting new patients. To schedule an appointment, call 302-645-3332.

“Beebe is bringing advanced clinical practitioners our growing community needs,” said Dr. David A. Tam, Beebe Healthcare president and CEO. “Attracting great physicians like Dr. Ionita and adding expanded services in specialty care are all ways we are providing the Next Generation of Care for our community.”

Ionita works with a broad variety of patients, from those recovering from stroke to those who experience headaches/migraines, seizures, and more.

Some of the medical concerns treated are stroke, headaches and migraines, multiple sclerosis, neuropathy, Parkinson’s disease, seizures and epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease and memory loss.

Ionita is returning to the area after practicing in Baltimore at Medstar Franklin Square Medical Center. She previously had a neurology practice as part of CN MRI, with locations in Milford, Millsboro and Lewes.

“It is a pleasure to welcome back Dr. Ionita to Sussex County, and have her join Beebe Medical Group and open an additional practice which will help serve out patients’ needs,” said Bobby Gulab, MD, senior vice president, chief medical officer, Beebe Medical Group.

Ionita received her medical degree from Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Bucharest, Romania. She started a family practice residency at Dr. V. Gomoiu Children’s Hospital and then a neurology residency at Dr. D. Bagdasar Emergency Hospital, both in Bucharest, before she came to the United States.

She completed her preliminary internal medicine training at Jersey City Medical Center in New Jersey and went on to complete a neurology residency at Neuroscience Institute JFK in New Jersey.

“I am happy to be able to return to Lewes after years away from this community. I love being near the beach and helping our residents here,” said Ionita. “I look forward to getting to know the community again.”
