He is the best! Don't know what I will do whenever he decides to retire!
Dr Finney has not changed a bit. His attentiveness to patient care is exactly as wonderful as I remembered when I had a total knee replacement seven years ago. Finding a physician you can return to after nearly a decade and still receive the same exceptional level of care is rare and valuable. I trust and highly recommend Dr. Finney.
Awesome Dr.
