I would characterize my experience with Dr. Finkler as very troubling. I was referred to him as I was experiencing pain in the back of my jaw that involved the area of a capped molar. Throughout the entire visit Dr. Finkler’s comments and explanations, from what I have learned, were replete with deceit, misinformation, and confusing messages. He performed a procedure on me without fully explaining the treatment and its potential results, that I later learned from another dental provider, was unnecessary and that my symptoms didn’t warrant the procedure. Dr. Finkler’s treatment was actually harmful and left me with a damaged crown. In retrospect, it appears to me now that Dr. Finkler’s actions were his attempt to inflate his billing charges. My impression of Dr. Finkler is that he was professionally evasive with me and doesn’t fully embrace the concept of patient autonomy, that being a patient’s right to make their own intelligent decisions based on complete information about their health and dental care. Beware of this provider.
