Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Arrogant and dismissive
He told me not to go to the ER when I had pain and dizziness during my pregnancy. He said “I was just making myself upset over an obvious miscarriage” . It was an ectopic and my tube burst and I had to have emergency surgery to save my life.

Rude and dismissive
Dr. Fink was the first OBGYN I have seen and will absolutely never go back. He made me feel extremely uncomfortable during my visit and exam and did not listen to my concerns or initial reason for visit. He spent the entire visit discussing how I needed to have an IUD implanted when birth control was not my reason for visit and was dealing with painful symptoms which he dismissed. His bedside manner was very poor and I do not recommend. He is NOT a good doctor for young adults.

Never again.
My reviews keep failing the publication test so I'll keep it short and simple. The previous review from the mom stating her daughter's experience was the same EXACT thing that happened to me. It was pretty traumatizing so I never went back. It was my first and last time. I do not recommend him AT ALL especially for teens.

My daughter
My daughter saw this doctor. This was my 20y/o daughters first time at an OB/GYN. When she made her appt she stated that she wanted a female but got Dr Fink instead. He told her that “woman over estimate their pain” then told her that she “didn’t experience stomach discomfort from taking the birth control pill”. He then proceeded to exam her without telling her what he was doing. When I asked her if he preformed a PAP she didn’t know because he didn’t tell her what he was doing The reason she went to see the doctor was to obtain birth control. He didn’t discuss her options and she left without any birth control. This doctor should not be treating women. His visit with my daughter was abusive.

Dr. Fink has been my gynecologist for 21 years. I had a bad experience with my previous doctor. He has always been very knowledgeable, professional and caring. He takes his time to make sure I'm aware of everything concerning my health. He's never made me feel like I'm just a number because he remembers our previous conversations and questions I've had about medical procedures. I have referred many friends and coworkers who were looking for a new doctor.

Today I had an appointment with Dr.Fink and saw a little girl as young as 10 sitting behind the window. I was told that she was on spring break and her mother brought her into work. I listened as the little girl overheard conversation about chlamydia and sexual activity. The little girl was even watching the computer screen. I spoke to the mother and she stated that she doesn't shelter her child from anything. Dr. Fink stated the little girl was not paying attention. Children pay attention.

I finally left Dr. Fink after he again dismissed my concerns regarding my endometriosis. Within weeks of going to a new Dr., I had an MRI which showed masses on both ovaries and on my uterus. They didn't think it was cancer. I had abdominal hysterectomy and masses tested negative thankfully. I was on the OR table for 7 hours while surgeon cleared out the years of scar tissue. The worst endometriosis she had been seen. Fink told me to wait for menopause & it would clear up. Seriously?!
