Dr. Finnerty and his amazing staff are absolutely incredible. I never once felt anxious or doubted he was the right choice for me to help navigate my health journey.

Dr. Finnerty had a great bedside manner. He was easy to talk to, funny, and put me at ease. I appreciated his succinct and thorough explanation of the procedure and the justification for it. He used simple terms and analogies to describe something complicated. The NP on his staff was a great team player taking my vitals when the MA was busy with another patient. She too was thorough in her explanation of the Bethesda classification and what would happen in each category. She personally called me with the results.

Dr. Finnerty and support staff are warm and professional. In my experience wait time is excellent 10-20 minutes tops. Dr. Finnerty is always in great spirits, easy going and explains everything thoroughly. His surgical skills are excellent. He continues to encourage me to call if I have any follow up questions or concerns. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. Thank you for your continued care.

.Dr. Finnerty was so awesome. He explained each and everything in great detail. He was patient and caring and told you just the way it is and so that you would understand. I left his office with a smile because my visit with him was a really nice experience. I am so pleased that I was referred to him. He’s definitely at the top of my list for being a excellent doctor.
