Patient Comments
- June 22, 2021*Dr. Fina created an order for my wife's colonoscopy @ my request. He does what he says he will do.
- June 17, 2021I was so very impressed the way he listened to me and my symptoms. I have NEVER had a dr. ask me "what are your concerns related to your nausea and pain, but *Dr. Fina did!
- June 1, 2021Great experience. I have recommended Dr Fina to my friends and co-workers.
- April 23, 2021Good.
- April 21, 2021I have experience care from this provider for a number of years. He and his office have always been very good in their care.
- March 24, 2021Very good experience. He has always been very interested in your well being. He is very professional always.
- March 22, 2021I had to switch to Dr. Fina when I came back to Digestive Health in order to be seen quickly (back in December 2020) and I'm so glad I did. I really like him. He's not Mr. Warm and Fuzzy (neither am I) but he knows his stuff and listens to what I have to say and tries to help me not break the bank as much as he can with tests and prescriptions but still take great care of me.
- March 9, 2021dr fina listens carefully and thoughtfully to all my questions and addresses each one thoroughly.
- February 23, 2021Dr. Fina had great bedside manner and was very informed of my case before I was seen. My husband and I have a great amount of confidence in him.
- February 15, 2021I was particularly impressed w/how *Dr. Fina handled my referral to the swallowing clinic.
