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.

Worst choice for Alzheimer patient treatment
My wife's neuro testing showed early signs of dementia. Dr Fink was her specialist for neuro diagnosis and treatment. This a waste of time since the level of professional care was disturbingly bad and not one of her recommendations was valid. Dr Fink had not even read the results of the earlier neuro psych testing. Her preparation was missing, her patient attention was poor, her recommendations were all wrong, she's not willing to admit or correct her mistakes. HealthPartners Neuro Science Center for Memory and Aging gets a low rating, too. 30 minutes wait on the phone calling the central number and 6 months out to schedule appointments. I've since seen bad reviews for Dr Fink dating back to 2016, so they are willing to allow her to take patients which she is not qualified to tend. She may be a good physician choice for epileptic children, but should not be seeing potential Alzheimer patients. I put this poor performance on HealthPartners as well!

Patient beware! She is awful. I was referred to her in an emergency situation. After some tests and an MRI, she had her NURSE CALL ME to break it to me that I had multiple sclerosis. At my next appointment, Dr. Fink launched into her seemingly very well rehearsed presentation of 2 big pharma drug options like I was in a fast food line. When I tried to ask questions, she dismissed me and refused to help with physical pain and symptoms. I've never felt so humiliated and disparaged in my life.

We have been seeing Dr. Fink for almost 3 years because my daughter became epileptic. I really like her, and am surprised at her poor rating here.
