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.

A real caring Doctor.
This is a great doctor. Listens and has concern for his patients. His staff is the same.

Incredible communicator
I couldn’t believe how much time he spent explaining what he felt was the best course of treatment and how much I was involved. He even had me call my wife on a conference call so that she knew what I had been told. Very personable and I felt like I was talking with a friend.

Prompt and considerate. There hasn’t been a single instance of any one being anything but extremely accommodating. One gets the impression that these people believe in holding themselves accountable and placing a premium on the plight of those like me afflicted with cancer is what they believe in most of all. Refreshing.

Compassionate Physician
I've been a patient of his for the past 4 yours that started with a diagnosis of throat cancer. He facilitated getting a 2nd opinion with the Moffitt Cancer Center. He was totally transparent in my radiation treatment, showing how his staff mapped the cancer, what side effects to expect. During my followup he has always made me feel he personally cares for me and my family.

Wonderful Dr. and Staff
Dr. Finkelstein spent over an hour with me at my first visit and provided the information necessary for me to make a an informed decision regarding treatment. Given this information, I opted for a less invasive option than I had initially considered. He saw me every week to monitor my response to treatment and address my concerns. My treatment team was very caring and considerate and put me at ease. Highly recommended.
