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.

Best of the best!
Dr. Fink is the best internist I’ve ever had. He’s thorough, knowledgeable, and sincere in his work. I’ve never had a doctor that’s made me feel in better hands. Concierge quality, and the best of the best in Los Angeles. Could not recommend more highly!

I have been a patient of Dr. Fink for over twenty years; he is thorough ,knowledgeable and proactive in monitoring a patient's health. Dr. Fink is straightforward in his demeanor which I appreciate.A big shout out to Lindy, his nurse, who is as pleasant as she is efficient.

Dr Fink is BEST of the BEST!
Dr Fink has been my doctor for over 20 years and he is truly an amazing and caring doctor. He is very thorough and finds problems early and is a great listener, brilliant, and a true advocate for his patients receiving the best possible care. He also has an amazing network of specialists in his network (critical for an internist) and they all respect him greatly (including many see him as their personal internist which says a lot about how respected he is in the medical community). Dr Fink also now takes care of my wife and adult son and we all are very grateful for his care, and also for the care and support from his amazing office staff. Dr Fink is truly the very best of the best!

Great Doctor
Dr Fink is such a caring wonderful doctor. He has been my internist for 10 years. He listens to what I say and I always feel heard. If something is not right he will keep investigating until we are both satisfied.

What does he do aside from call himself doctor?
He was my PCP and my right arm developed a severe infection. I called for an appointment and was told he doesn’t “do” infections. So I received no advice as to where to go or who to see or manage the pain. Instead I had part of my infected arm removed.

While he is a nice doctor not sure how good of a doctor he is. Office does procedures and tests without permisson so that they can bill insurance for money. Then insurance of course does not cover though in network. Dr. Fink also milks it as last time I was there he complained to me that I had too many problems for 1 appointment and only does one thing at a time. There are sooo many great doctors and offices and this is not one of them.

I was there for a routine follow-up visit, but I asked Dr. Fink to look at two burns I had suffered. He immediately recognized that they were more serious than I had thought and got me an appointment at a burn center. Turns out they were second and third degree burns that were not healing properly.

Dr Fink has been my primary care provider for over 22 years. I appreciate the fact that he is very thorough & runs an efficient office. Even though he does not rush through appointments, the office manages to keep on schedule. I also like the fact that there are lab & x-ray facilities on site.
