The reviews listed below were collected independently of Associated Medical Professionals through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
The doctor gave me a more realistic perspective of where I’m at in my treatment journey. He spent almost an hour with me discussing his concerns of the data he was reviewing. He provided a treatment recommendation to further assess my needs and the treatment plan that will follow. His delivery was comforting, and reassuring. I left the consultation feeling better about treating this cancer once and for all.

Although I’m just a couple of months into my treatment Dr Finkelstein has been great

Very informative. Like his style.

Did not disclose how long it would take to complete treatment. Currently it has been 6 months and radiation still not started. I assume Surgery option would likely be faster
