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.

Dr Finger is a great surgeon. He has performed three highly successful knee surgeries on me. I can’t thank him enough for his professionalism and care. His entire team is wonderful. I would highly recommend him and his staff.

Worst doctor
I had a second opinion with this man. Worst experience ever my previous doctor recommended a brace for my knee when I do a lot of walking I wear it. He came in the room and ask if I’m wearing the brace for him? Then he said if I’m wearing the brace for just today. He was so insensitive about what I had going on. He was biased for the 10 mins I was there. Wouldn’t recommend this doctor to anyone. And if u have an appointment with him beware of him. Nasty man.

A Happy Patient!
First of all Dr. Finger was patient with me. He listened and didn’t hurry me. He did a knee scope on my right knee in 2007 which was an excellent choice. Now I have issues with my left knee meniscus and arthritis which will need a replacement in my future. At this time he’s provided injections that have made me a very happy patient. Also, His office team has been very helpful every visit.

I would whole heartedly recommend Dr. Finger.
He is very through and professional. He did my knee surgery at SMH and I couldn't be more happy. He follows you very closely afterwards and has a great bedside manner.

Dr. Finger did a Total knee replacement . My bones were out of alignment and also needed a screw implanted to align my leg. He did an excellent job. I recovered quickly, with minimal pain after the 1st couple of days, and have greatly improved my mobility and pain.

Dr. Finger did my surgery on my ankle when it broke. I went back to him a year later with the pain very bad and ended up having another surgery on it, to remove the hardware in it. He told me going into it he could not promise it would help, but I was willing to give it a try. Most doctors would have gave you pain pills and told you, “there’s nothing I can do!” Thankfully he found the problem and I don’t have that pain anymore.

He showed me the x-ray and said I need a knee replacement. Then prescribed 12 therapy sessions, with his affiliated therapy group, and said if I did not complete all 12, my insurance may not cover the knee replacement. The therapy sessions were a joke. About 1/2 hour each, the therapist did one exercise with me and simply told me what to do on the rest. I needed 12 of these? I think it was a ploy to get more $$ from the insurance company. I maxed out my deductible, giving almost $500 to him.

I love Dr Finger . He has been instrumental in keeping me mobile. He has a great bedside manner. Always has the latest treatment options. I also see Dr Butler at the same office. He is wonderful. But the front office staff do not always reflect the care and concern of either the doctor's or the nurses in the back. The in take staff at the front desk where caddy when I ask about the expected wait after the first 1hour.

Dr. Finger did surgery for a torn Rotator Cuff - I did physical therapy with his office and am back to full range of motion. My experience with Dr. Finger and his staff was amazing. I have recommended Dr. Finger to several people (family & friends) who have all had excellent results as well.
