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.Fintel has been my doctor since 2016. I love him as a doctor. He is the most caring person and he listens well. When I say he's a life-saver, that's an understatement. He has used the most cutting edge treatment available on me. The best part about Dr. Fintel is he's a man of God. That's important to me. He explains what's going on in your body with the simplest terms. When I was going through chemo (2016) he made me feel at ease and I looked forward to seeing him even though chemo was brutal. In 2019 by breast cancer returned. I was horrified but explained how and why it returned. He has set me up with other doctors that are amazing as well. (B Thomas). I can honestly say, Dr. Fintel is the BEST doctor I have ever had!

Dr. Fintel has been my oncologist for many years. Cancer is a very scary thing, but having a doctor that listens and cares and explains what is needed and why brings peace. He is a very caring doctor and the entire staff is wonderful. I would and have recommended Dr. Fintel to many friends.

There is no oncologist as good as Dr Fintel! He has cared about me and my treatment. If I would have had a different oncologist, I would have probably be dead. I have to start Chemo Treatments again soon for another type of Cancer and there is no one I would go to but him! He is caring, thoughtful and will listen to the patient and together with the patient make the decision that is best and benefits the that patient's life!

I have been a patient of Dr. Fintel for year. He is a very kind, empathetic and thorough doctor. He takes the time to explain all aspects of treatment for the condition and his bedside manner is outstanding. The office seems overworked as the last time I was given another patients paperwork, twice! Always check! I never had to schedule an urgent appointment, but the calls are automated like everything else. Listen to the whole message and press the # after so your message sends!
