Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Considerate and direct
Dr. Fine is highly knowledgeable with a wealth of experience. He is very clear on courses for treatment and does a great job communicating with patients.

Brain tumor oncology
I started seeing Dr Fine 6mo ago when a blip showed up on my 3 month MRI. I highly recommend this kind, knowledgeable doctor. I feel I’m in good hands. He works with a wonderful staff including the office staff and the NP that works with him.

Dr. Fine is an excellent neuro-oncologist. With his expertise, he guided me through brain tumor recovery. He spends time with his patients, which means long wait time for appointments, but his team from front desk to Dina to the PAs provide an exceptional experience. I highly recommend Dr. Fine and his team.

The best there is
I’ve been going to Dr. Fine for about 6 years and my experience has always been top notch. He’s an amazing doctor, an expert in his field and always ready to spend an extra few minutes to speak with you about anything you want to talk about. I’d never go anywhere else.

Grateful to be his patient
Dr. Fine has been an instrumental part of my cancer journey for the last ten-plus years. His wealth of experience, positive yet compassionate demeanor and amazing team are just some of what makes him a sought-after practitioner. Had my family moved out west, my plan was to still maintain my patient status with him and come back for my follow ups. I truly believe he's a key element of how I've managed to thrive despite my unfortunate diagnosis.

I was in the hospital totally lost what was going to happen to me. I was concerned if I’ll ever be virus free. I was extremely frustrated when Dr. Fine visited me. In 2 hours he salved all my concerns. I have no enough words to praise and thank Dr. Fine. God sent me him to help me. That was on Easter. God bless you Dr. Fine.

My partner was treated by Dr. Fine for a couple of years. It came to a point he recommended home hospice while assuring me he didn't think anything was imminent. Six weeks later my partner died. The day before he passed he was severely dehydrated. The hospice nurse called Dr. Fine's office to talk about hydration. It's been over 3 months and there was never a return call. Very disappointing.
