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.

Dr. Finnerty helped my premature son stay alive after he was diagnosed with SVT and was on life support. 23 years later my son is now active in the Army and stronger than ever. Highly recommend him.

Dr. Finnerty was very nice and patient to answer all my questions. He has strong background in cardiology field. He is humble and able to understand the parents' feeling with the kids. I had the chance to see his referral letter ( several days after that was done) and where I can tell his care and professional manners. I appreciate his work and care with my beloved little one. Will recommend him to family and friends.

He is amazing. He is thorough, kind, respectful, and calm. They don't graduate doctors like this anymore. We have a 19 year old and live in Ithaca. My son could see an adult cardiologist and we have many options available to us here in Ithaca but we chose to see him. I'm a nurse and I feel so confident having him care for my son.
