Had female surgery this June with Dr Finklesteine. I'm giving a 3 star only because Dr Finklesteine is a good surgeon. But her people skills are lacking. She should just stick to her surgery room and out of the personal office experience. Office never checked on me after my surgery. I really felt like I was on my own. Office waiting time in usually more than an hour. Good luck to all that read my personal experience.

DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU ARE YOUNG AND HAVE ENDO. I have Endometriosis and came here to Dr. Finklestien. Each appointment she was in and out of the room in under 5 minutes. The PAs were more receptive than her. She pushed me on to other doctors like many others before her. Still waiting on those referrals they said they were going to get me....nothing. OH, AND, during my first visit I was on my period (so In so much pain) and the doc decides to do a PAP but didnt tell me that halfway through the exam THE STUDENT WOULD TAKE OVER. I was in pain for days afterwards.
