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.

My experience was awful.He did my surgery 2 years ago. I still have a open wound on my back.It still drains and bleeds.Seen another surgeon that explained I would have to have surgery again.My back is so messed up now it don't look the same. The scare goes every way . Reason there is a open hole in my back still after 2 years.

Dr. Fine seemed irritated with me the moment he entered the room. He didn't listen to the knowledge that I have about MY OWN BODY and seemed to be sure that his knowledge about OTHERS applied more to the situation at hand. However, the staff and nurses were amazing and very friendly. The nurse who took my vitals asked me more questions then Dr. Fine did. My blood pressure was extremely low (not normal for me) and Dr. Fine didn't mention it once during the exam. Don't waste your time here.

I DO NOT recommend Dr. Fine. My recovery was about a week long and my scar was bad. I compared this to my sister who had the same procedure (removed gallbladder) with a different doctor and her experience was much different. I questioned Dr. Fine about my the length of recovery and he seemed very annoyed that I was questioning him. I got a copy of my medical records and took them to another doctor to review. That Dr. said although he didn't do anything "wrong" his technique was very outdated.

I am amazed at Dr. Joseph G. Fine, he is a superior doctor with professionalism that is obvious in the care of his patients, I have the utmost respect for this doctor, I will never forget the care and concern that he showed my brother during a recent hospitals stay. Sincerely, Nancy Centers

He treated me professionally, did surgery on a very difficult problem and he and his partner came to see me twice per day while in the hospital without fail, no matter how late it might have been. He had explained everything that he was going to do and what I could expect. I found him to be a conscience and thorough doctor and I have no problem recommending Dr. Fine to any of my family and friends.
