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.

Lacks humanity
I hope Dr. Finkelstein never has to experience a doctor like himself. Abrupt to the point of being rude. Made me feel silly for asking questions. His manner lacks respect for his patients.

Excellence and Professionalism in Medical Care
Dr. Fickelstein is a specialist that deals with non-operative spine care and spinal injections. He is very thorough and probes considerably deeper than other doctors to get to the root cause of the problem.
