He was remarkable, no beating around the bush. A straight shooter, so knowledgeable and made me realize how serious my cancers are. Getting a second opinion with Dr. Finkelstein was the best decision I could have made. I am grateful to him and can’t thank him enough.

Dr. Finkelstein is a good physician and could be even better if he spent more time following up on his patients by listening and guiding instead of just shaking their hand. His nursing staff is excellent and does most of the work. However, if there is a problem, Dr. Finkelstein is excellent at referring the patient to the proper doctor who can resolve the issue.

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.
