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. Finlayson is extremely professional and knowledgeable, but even more important, he is sincerely interested in the patient, a refreshing change from some previous experiences I've had. I've been with him for several years now, and continue to be encouraged to meet my health goals.

I was a patient of Dr. Finlayson for close to twenty years. I was advised ahead of time that he has a brisk and efficient manner, and that turned out to be true. In all my visits I found him personable and very efficient. Also, in all that time, he found and treated a number of conditions (of varying seriosness) with proper care and necessary referrals. His questions regarding past issues and/or medications were always matter-of-fact and to the point allowing for quicker disgnoses and care. He questioned my requests for treatment or medications thouroughly to be sure they made sense (many did not). My life has been better and longer as a result I moved to Tennesseee for family reasons. Otherwise I would dtill be one of his patients.

On March 21,2019. I went after waiting 5 weeks to see Dr Finlayson. This physician I wanted so I thought to see for a new patient relationship. I've never in my 53 years seen a worse physician ever. He needs to put 3 padlocks on the front door pull up the mats and close down. He came into the exam room. He was the rudest most insulting doctor in my entire life. He treated my very poorly. He talked down on me like I was dirt. I didn't ask for any drugs. I ask for labs since it been 2 years since last major labs. I've got a rare blood cancer and severe cervical spine stenosis. I said can you add D3 to blood work. He very rudely says " what makes you think you need it". I'm like because I had low values in the past. I ask for acid reflux med. He says very nasty how he refer me out unreal....never again...

We've always been happy with Dr. Finlayson and his staff however, we moved out of the area and have been trying to get information from the office it has been almost one month and have not heard a thing. This is very important. I have always been able to talk with someone answering the phone. This is no longer office practice. Very disappointed with new procedures.
