My son called to make an apt and him as physician was so shocked how rude his staff was ..I would not referred him to anyone if his staff acts that way. He might be a great doctor but not his staff

I have been addicted to nose spray for over 20 years. I couldn't eat or sleep without spraying my nose. I absolutely could not breath. Finally I decided to go to and ENT and I chose Dr. Fingerer. He suggested surgery and detailed the procedures he would perform. It's been 7 weeks since the surgery and I could absolutely breath! I don't even think of wanting to take nose spray anymore. My smelling has even improved. The recovery from surgery was hard, but well worth the outcome. I am absolutely satisfied with the results.

Dr. Fingerer is simply the best doctor I have had the pleasure of working with. I went in to see him to treat my snoring problem. He thoughtfully diagnosed my condition and counseled me with my various options. Because of his thorough explanation and honest answers to my questions, it became clear that surgery was the best route to pursue to correct my issues. He performed 5 different procedures on me. My recovery went exactly how he said it would. In the end, I went from snoring loudly every night to absolute silence. My girlfriend was amazed. I would recommend Dr. Fingerer to anyone. He is simply a great doctor.
