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.

Is the main reason my wife had to receive care at another hospital in NYC 10 years ago. Is currently stopping her from getting the tests she needs against the advice of her two other physicians, who work at the same hospital he works in.

Right lung reduction surgery
First surgery Sept. 7 2022 second surgery Sept. 9. To fix problems from surgery #1. Then 4days latter surgery #3 to fix more problems with previous surgeries. I was in the hospital 16 days. One drain tube after #1 surgery, then two more for total 3, then because of hole in lung from surgeries air went between layers of my skin. They installed a vacuum line at surgery #3. My face swelled up so much that I was blind for about 10 hours from my eyes swelling shut. And to top it off at my 6 month checkup I told Dr. about the pain I was having and was told for the first time, that well you did have a broken rib . To this day I am still having issues !!!!

Dr. Finley is an excellent surgeon and doctor. He gets right to the point, speaks in terms that you can understand. He is one of the best doctor's that I have ever had. Very kind and caring. He will also push you to reach your/his goals prior to and post surgery. Dr. Finley and his entire staff/team are the BEST!! Would recommend to all my family and friends. They are all so very friendly and accommodating to your needs.
