After two years of family practice in Romania, she came to the United States, where she completed her residency in internal medicine at Metropolitan Hospital Center in New York and a fellowship in nephrology at Our Lady of Mercy Medical Center in the Bronx, which is an affiliate of New York Medical College in Valhalla.
Dr. Cincu began her career in the United States as an internal medicine physician at Neighborhood and Family Health Center in the Bronx and as an attending physician in the Emergency Department at Metropolitan Hospital Center.

In 2011, she started an internal medicine practice at Phelps Memorial Hospital, which became Northwell Health Physician Partners in 2018.
