Professional, kind .
Super thorough and answered all my questions completely!
Excellent!! Very good communicator, makes you feel very comfortable.
I was traveling for work and in Slidell, LA and my knee became swollen and extremely painful. I didn’t want to go to the ER or Urgent Care so I called and was able to get a last minute appointment to see Dr Finney. What a lifesaver after Xray’s he was able to diagnose the problem was an inflation driven by some arthritis. He was able to drain fluid and tremendously reduce the pain, amazing. He is super competent, exudes confidence and compassion. I would highly recommend Dr. Finney
The Best!
Dr. Finney was great. He had great bedside manners and was patient and kind with all my questions. The staff was also very friendly especially the lady who checked me out. Unfortunately, I didn't get her name but they were all nice
Finest orthopedic doc on the Gulf Coast and a scratch golfer with no right knee cartilage at 65. Listen to what this doc tells you …
