After asking doctors and medical people for their thoughts on who was the best hearth surgeon in ri and ma area one name always came up and that was doctor James fingleton.. Once meeting Dr. Fingleton I felt very comfortable with him. I had my surgery on Friday, came home on Tuesday, I can t say enough about him, his team and the staff at Charlton Hospital. I would recommend him to anyone having to go through Heart surgery.

I saw doctor Fingleton after I was told by another physician that I had an aortic anuerysm. He read all my reports and ct scans and gave me the best news ever. I do not have an anuerysm. He is a brilliant compassionate doctor.
