Diagnosed with 2 very serious brain issues through this dr. .. seemed very concerned in the beginning however almost 2 years later I'm still experiencing the same symptoms and it seems am no closer to relief. Not sure what to do at this point as I'm 35 years old and feel like I'm in serious trouble with these symptoms, yet besides a 1 medication given that doesnt work, only other treatment was to " lose weight" feeling a bit abandoned. Very sweet man however and easy to talk to, just cant give me answers.

I liked him a lot. I found him very knowledgeable esp. With medication. I must agree with other posts about the receptionist Danielle being very rude

One of the very few doctors who actually take their time with a diagnoses and treatment. He keeps up with the latest in medicine. Dr. Finkleman actually cares about his patients...he doesn't see dollar signs when a person enters his office. I have had him for 8 years as a doctor and trust him completely. More so than my pcp

I saw this doctor in good faith. Although I was having an awful lot of headaches he failed to properly treat me. The headaches persisted yet he did nothing. Throughout all of this his secretary was rude and uncaring. His follow care was awful. I finally went to see another neurologist. This doctor treated my headaches properly. I would never recomend Dr. Finkleman to anyone.

I felt traumatized by this Doctor. He quickly delivered a very serious and false diagnosis based on his lack of knowledge. It took me and my family years to recover.

Staff was helpful, Dr. was very nice, personable. Couldn't diagnose my issue, but eliminated any neurological causes. He was very encouraging and thorough. I've seen several doctors recently and he was the most helpful and his office was the best to work with.
