My mother and I took off work because she was able to get in to see a 'specialist' last minute for a very frustrating eye issue she has been dealing with. The staff and techs were very friendly and helpful, however it was over 3 hours before he saw us. When he finally did he was cold and impersonal. I asked one question then was immediately agitated, rude, indignant, and would not answer any of the additional questions we had. If he did it was extremely vague and and apathetic or 'well I don't know you so I can't answer that' but never asked her any questions about her medical history or background, just gave her a list of diagnostic tests to have her GP order. Here's the kicker, he didn't even fill out the paperwork correctly so that she could get the tests ordered, and because we were unhappy with his 'help' and wanted a second opinion he would not correct the paperwork so she could get those tests ordered for the second opinion doctor. After entire day, we are back to square one!

Usually have to wait for about 2 hours to see the doctor. No respect for people's time. This was the 2nd visit I had and had same wait time both the times. Also the doctor had mixed responses regarding my eye issues/questions. Not sure if I want to see him again.

Drove 3 hours to see Dr Finnin. Appointment was at 1:00. Saw him at 4:30 He spent 5 minutes with me. Must have wanted to go home. Didn’t want to hear about my issues. Didn’t want to hear questions. Just keep answering “I don’t know” to questions. Said we could try surgery but didn’t know if it would help. Asked for details on surgery. Said I could watch a video. Assistant brought in video. She said several times it really didn’t apply to me. I thought Dr would return but was escorted out after viewing useless video. Left with no answers only questions. Absolutely no paperwork on visit or procedure. Very rude, incompetent Dr. waste of time and money. Will look for more competent, caring Dr to help me. Stay away from him!!
