Dr. Finney is always very attentive. He listens extremely well and provides the time necessary to talk through any of my questions and address my health goals. He always provides good advice and is reassuring as I check with him on a number of different topics. He's very knowledgeable and always provides the correct level of support. He responds with a lot of empathy and I think he's a great physician. Sad to see him.
Everything went well...
Dr Finney is very professional and takes the time to listen and explain in a way his patients understand. He always offers suggestions with exercises and diet before pushing medications, which is very rare.
Got appointment same day , and Dr Finney was great
We had a great, informative discussion about a procedure I recently had and my medications that answered a lot of questions
Dr Finney is the absolute best Dr that I have had care with in many years…he is professional, focused and knowledgeable…what is even more remarkable is that even if he was having a tough day as a Primary Doctor you would never know and you can tell he truly cares about his patients
Dr. Finney was very helpful. He listened intently and helped me to get an appointment with another provider and I am starting to feel much better.
Dr Finney is always professional, engaging and personable. He is knowledgeable and kind. A great doctor.
Finney has been my primary for three years now. He knows me v well and always meets my needs. He just referred me to a physical therapy that i didnt even know they had physical therapy for. He even blasted off a skin tag for me while i was there. He understands my addiction struggles and cares. Glad to finally have a solid primary. Ive been through many at southcoast. They all seem to disappear.
Dr. Finney is the most caring, compassionate and knowledgeable doctor I have ever had. I actually told him if he ever left the area I would be following him.
Attention and care was great
Dr. Finney is an amazing provider that listens, cares, makes necessary referrals and I feel he is committed to my medical health needs. I never met his nurse [Name] but she always responds to my messages in a timely fashion and also committed to helping. Front office staff is friendly.
I can't think of anything that would improve my experience. Dr. Finney is an excellent doctor. Takes his time and explains everything thoroughly.

This provider is an active listener. He then offers the proper medical advice addressing all my concerns and answering all my questions.
After 40 years with the same primary physician, I recently needed to select a new Primary Care provider. I am now a new patient of Dr. Finney, and his office was able to accommodate me with an earlier appointment. My experience with the entire team, including the office staff, nursing staff, and Dr. Finney, has been excellent. Everyone has demonstrated professionalism, kindness, and courtesy. It has been a very positive transition so far.
He listens well informed about my health situation and inquired about my family . Dr Finney is a wonderful doctor. Only thing he could do better is make house calls .
Dr. Finney is an amazing Dr. He's kind and he listens to what I have to say. I highly recommend him to all my friends. I have nothing but great things to say about Dr.Finney his nurse his n.p.
Everyone was personable, friendly, and professional. The only thing that would have improved my visit is if they had a pill that made me 30 years younger!
From the front desk, receptionist are always awesome over the phone and in person very tentative and very knowledgeable. Medical assistants are awesome. The nurses are also amazing if I have any issues and use my chat to communicate with them, they get back to me within minutes. Can't ask for better. I have no complaints. The providers in this office, especially Dr. Finney is the best. The whole office goes above and beyond.
Dr. Finney understands my needs, and he treats me with respect.

Amazing doctor, caring and listens.
I am just so very lucky to have a very nice primary care physician. With doctors so busy and limited. Most of South Coast health system is an efficient team of providers.
Dr Finney is always there for me providing the best help he truly cares about my needs and why I'm there, He never makes me feel that my health isn't a priority and always listens to everything closely. As someone who has had many horrible doctors in the past, I couldn't be more happy, heard and safe with Dr Finney. He's truly the best doctor I have ever had and I recommend him to all my family and friends.

Dr. Finney spent plenty of time with me addressing my concerns and helped me find ways to make changes to improve my health. I always felt that I had his full attention and respect. He showed me patience, friendliness, and made me feel comfortable. He answered every question I had and directed me to resources where I could seek additional information as needed.
You do everything well, that's an understatement. I can't think of what you can do to improve. If I do, I'll let you know.

Dr. Finney has a great bedside manner. He explains things clearly and sees genuinely concerned for my success in my health journey. The staff is always communicative and pleasant.
They had a student trainee with me for my annual appointment. I would have liked my Dr to listen to my breathing as I have asthma. He did not come within 2 ft of me and I wasn't sick. I do not feel it was a very thorough appointment.
Everything was great! Dr Finney and his staff are the best.
The doctor and his assistant were very pleasant.
This office has excellent staff from the front end receptionist all the way up to the doctors. Dr Finney and Dr[Name] are in my opinion the best PCP doctors Southcoast has. Excellent office excellent staff all around.
Good communication and results. Waiting on instructions for referrals . Dr. Finney has always been tentative and professional. Thank you.
The care that Dr Finney provides. And the staff is so helpful at all my needs.
I trust my team of doctors. They are professionals
I called the office for a personal medical issue I was having. The nurse I spoke with was gentle and kind. I got an appointment the same day to see my PCP. Dr. Finney was kind , he listened and really helped me and eased my mind. Dr. Finney also set up referrals and follow up visits for me. I had labs taken in the office and results within hours, with a personal message from Dr. Finney. I couldn't ask for a better visit or better staff. Thank you to the team I appreciate each one of you.
Dr Finny is absolutely the best. I was apprehensive at first, he looked very young… Like he could be my son. That means I'm getting older. I'm a 65-year-old woman and I do not normally have male doctors. I don't find them compassionate enough. Nothing could be further from the truth with Dr Finny. He is absolutely compassionate and listens. A lot of doctors do not listen they let their egos get in the way, when we the patients know our bodies and are our best advocates. Wonderful experience with this Dr. I have three people that are on his waiting list and have already gotten him 14 new patient patients. I would never ever recommend him if he sucked. Thank you, Dr Finny for always listening, and not being a jerk like some doctors, we know.
I was seen right away and treated with respect. The medical assistant and Doctor explained everything they were doing in a professional way, and a way I could understand. The facility was clean and I didn't have to wait to get labs.
The Dr. made me feel comfortable. He listened to me and was able to discuses my problems in a way I could understand.
Dr Finney is very personable and explains everything so well. Love my PCP!
Everyone and everything was wonderful.I recently had a stroke and someone came out to help me and my husband into the building. She couldn't have been more helpful . Actually everyone was so kind and supportive. Very happy to have Dr Finney as my PC .
Always a professional friendly experience
Dr. Finney is by far the best PCP I've had to date and his practice of making himself available to his patients on short notice makes him exemplary, to say the least.

This was my first visit with Dr Finney and I was impressed. He was very kind, attentive and easy to talk to. He took the time to listen to my concerns and I didn't feel rushed like most of the dr's I've been to. I am hard of hearing and he was very patient and spoke loud and clear. I am very happy with the service he provided.
Dr. Finney is a Dream Come True! He is the best Doctor I have ever had I was blown away by how very comfortable I felt in his exam room and he listens and keeps eye contact and is just so engaging about every question I had for him.
