I'm not crazy about Doctors (not many 60 years old men are), but Dr. Finegold is great . Every diagnosis, prescription, prognosis and question is explained clearly. Has great ability to put both my wife and I at ease with his straight faced humor. Highly recommended - and I NEVER leave online reviews.

I can say he is my HERO! He is helping me to lose the weight to which I couldn't achieve it on my own this time. And the wait time is like less than 1 minutes not 5!! He is the best!!

Absolutely horrible. Was actually the biggest CREEP. He wasn't good at even explaining anything. He made me feel so uncomfortable. Ladies do not see him.

My mother has been going to this doctor for years, his staff is rude, and I mean rude. Dr. Feingold diagnosed my mother with Alzheimer so he never talks to her..just to me her daughter. Is she not a human being..she has slight dementia but is "with it" almost all the time, his bedside manner is atrocious as well as his staff.

Horrendous staff. Had to take a blood test four times. Had every excuse in the book about why so many times. Dr. Finegold might be OK, but he certainly can't manage his staff. I suggest finding a different Doctor.

He is one of the worst doctors I have ever met. He sent me for an X-ray. When I returned for my follow-up office visit, he said I should have an X-ray. I told him he had already sent me for one and I was returning for the results. He looked in his records, and then said, "Oh, yeah. Your X-ray was fine." He didn't seem to know what was going on. I still do not know if he actually saw the results or was just making it up and had lost the X-ray report.
