Dr. Richard I Finkel, MD

Misdiagnosis. Told me I had emphysema but would not do a ct scan after x-ray was normal. Told me that would only show lots of holes. Another practice did a ct scan and there is no emphysema.

While Dr Finkel may be a great doctor his office staff are the worst. They do not have any customer service at all. Nasty on the phone and very difficult to work with.

THis dr. was called in by an association of other doctors as my condition was complex. He was remote, detached, arrogant and somewhat disinterested in me as a woman and sick patient. Heis visit lasted less than 5 minutes; I never received a report or diagnosis from him....

He showed me pictures of various masks to use with cPap machine. That was not my problem. I had told him I was happy with my mask. He began to show me the same pictures on my 2nd visit. Then he suggested I bring my cPap on the next visit. I had it with me and said he had told me to bring it on 2nd visit and he argued with me. He looked in his notes and saw he had told me that. 2 wasted visits. I didn't go back.
