Dr. Joseph Finkelstein, MD

Very polite, efficient, detached. Fine for a pediatrician, but when I became pregnant and didn’t gain much weight, he never asked why. Sent me for tests without asking even one time about my diet, whether I was getting sufficient fat or enough nutrients. I’ve always had a hard rime digesting fatty foods, but if he’d been interested he might have suggested alternatives. I blame myself most of all, but a Fifth Ave. dr. who do doesn’t take insurance might have cared enough to ask a basic question. Our baby was born weighing less than is optimal and has had some struggles associated with that - nothing terrible, thank goodness, but we just went through our third strabismus surgery, for example. Maybe the fact that he and his wife/receptionist only had pictures of their grandchildren in their office should have been a clue. I’d advise finding a doctor who has a heart.

Always takes my calls when I have questions. Always is kind friendly and thoughtful during appointments. Could not recommend a doctor more highly

He both of my children. Responsive, caring and thorough.
