Karen Ann Finkelstein

Dr. Finkelstein may be a capable doctor, but her compassion and kindness are absent. Know this if you choose her for your care. She never made me feel like more than a chart. Every one of my appointments were rescheduled and/or at least 90+ min wait time. Had surgery and wasn’t able to talk to her until 3 weeks later (no complications, no cancer= not important). Overall my experience with Dr. F made me feel violated and ignored. I know doctors are busy and many are overworked, but a little kindness from your doctor goes a long way.

This doctor has no time for patients! Every appt I've had has been rescheduled because she's in surgery. When I finally see her - she is ALWAYS rushed; doesn't ask questions or talk to me much at all; she is not thorough. I've been going to this office for 3 years now and no one knows who I am and I haven't had a thorough pap yet. Doctors should NOT be listed as specialists for specific conditions when they really don't know how to treat that condition. Looking for another doctor - AGAIN!

I give a shout out to Karen Finklestein and her crew, office workers and all involved in the process of caring for their patients!! I just celebrated my 5th year of being cancer free and pray for many more years to come. I would highly reccomend Dr Finklestein and crew for all your needs!! Thank You!!! ⚘

I had a terrible experience with my hysterectomy and a follow up appointment. You would think a woman would be more sensitive and thorough in explaining things.

Outstanding care, surgical staff, bedside manor. Dr Finklestien and her office staff took excellent care of my mother.

Dr. Finkelstein and her whole staff are dedicated to providing the best care. A tissue biopsy came back negative but thankfully Dr Finkelstein still felt like a quick surgery to remove the spot was necessary. That tissue came back positive and resulted in a more aggressive surgery. I appreciate everything she does for her patients!! More than she knows...

Dr. Finkelstein is the most amazing Doctor I have ever had. She is caring and always takes the time to make sure that all of your questions are answered. She is fantastic, I cannot express how thankful I am to have her as my oncologist. Thank you Doctor for all that you do! 10 Stars

Dr. Finkelstein is a dedicated and compassionate physician. She always takes time to listen and discuss treatment thoroughly, and has been kind and responsive during the few panicky calls I’ve made to her cell phone, which she generously provides to her patients. I’m on my third go-round of stage IV cancer, and she’s been strong for me when I couldn’t always be strong for myself. I would be remiss if I didn’t also mention her excellent support staff, a truly great group of folks. I would strongly recommend her to anyone who is coping with gynecological cancer and wants decisive and informed treatment. Dr. Finkelstein is a dedicated and compassionate physician.

Excellent and caring practitioner. I put my life in her hands, and she’s never given me cause to doubt her. Would recommend wholeheartedly.

Use another physician, very rude and condescending.

Falsely diagnosed me with cancer stage 4, without ever sending a biopsy. After the 1st biopsy came back negative, still sat my family down and said I needed radiation that I have cancer. I lost my job, and became homeless with 4 more false biopsies. Of which she then said she's not my doctor anymore she doesn't know what I had and refused to sign anymore disability paperwork so I could feed myself or my children. Upon getting a clear from Rheumatologist, her office calls me months after seeing her saying she wants to see me. I go in and she wants to do a radical hysterectomy. Why? What's my diagnosis you ask? No one still knows after 9mos. Reason to get insurance to pay her, "heavy bleeding and possible cancer." Of which she tested my organ for right after surgery, although we already knew the answer 4x! I'm left now with still no job, no disability, no place to live, my last family member died year before, 4 holes in my abdomen where she said would only be 2, 4 radiology tattoos and wondering where the he'll any sort of justice or physicians are to find out what I have! Not to mention the fact clear on PET scan (2x) that activity is around my heart and chest and throat, yet not one doctor has evaluated it.

Dr Finkelstein was overly aggressive with chemo for my mother. She treats studies, not patients. I had read a review online stating this prior to the initial appointment and also was warned by the general surgeon of her overly aggressive treatment but, regretfully, we were impressed by her intellect and assumed that wouldn’t happen to our family, who has extensive experience in the medical field. Sadly, my mother died of kidney failure due to chemo toxicity when no measurable cancer was in her body. Dr Finkelstein’s subsequent “sympathetic” behavior appeared to be an attempt to avoid being sued for malpractice. Then she didn’t put the appropriate cause of death on the death certificate, she put cancer. Dr Finkelstein said she was “in remission”. If oncologists don’t put organ failure due to chemo toxicity, then some “studies” and certainly statistics aren’t accurate. There are other oncologists who successfully treat cancer patients with chemo by focusing on lab results and symptoms, rather than primarily focusing on studies. Even when we voiced our concerns about the poor kidney function lab results, her response, that still haunts me, was, “but studies show....” We really believed she was better than that....but we were obviously wrong.

Dr. Finkelstein is not only extremely thorough, knowledgeable, and skilled as a physician, but she also has a campassionate nature and treated me with kindness and warmth. She has a gentle spirit and confident hands. I felt as though I was in the care of a beloved sister. She listened to me respectfully. My entire experience from first office visit to post operative care was top-notch. She believes in what she does and will do whatever it takes to provide the highest quality of care.

Dr. Finkelstein is the reason I'm still here. From my first appointment she made the right decisions about my care. She listens and takes the time to make sure I understand every aspect. Everyone on her staff is helpful and supportive. They treat us like family. We're very grateful for them.

Dr. Finkelstein is a decent person. Some days she will be cold and calculated while other days she's sympathetic and kind. I guess it depends on how she feels that particular day. Her chemo suite is the most unfriendly environment. You're only allowed 1 guest at a time. They pretend they're busy in the back when in fact there are numerous seats available for other patients. If you want a friendly warm environment when receiving chemo, go somewhere else. This place is not for you.

I was referred to Dr. Finkelstein by my MD in Durango, CO. She was very knowledgeable, on time for my follow-up appointments and I was pleased with my surgery.

I have been a patient of Dr. Finkelstein for a year & 8 months. I was referred to her practice with a late stage ovarian cancer diagnosis. From our first meeting, she has shown incredible compassion as well as knowledge in current & cutting edge treatments. She has knowledge of drug trials that could potentially benefit her patients & helps to get them included if they qualify. I truly believe her positivity & wealth of knowledge in today's treatments gives us patients the best chance possible.

Absolutely amazing doctor and staff. Throughout this entire experience she's been phenomenal and made sure I understood everything (procedures, next steps, etc). Couldn't ask for a better doctor

Her staff that she has are all very professional and courteous. She got to the point and gave me options for my care and let me choose my own path. She was quick and to the point and I did deal with her staff more than I did her but she did have a Lobby full of patients. She answered all my questions even the embarrassing ones and didn't once make me feel like I didn't matter. Everything was explained by her or her staff and every call and message I left was returned. Very happy with outcome

Dr. Finklestein was very professional and her assessment of me was thorough and well though out.

She did not take time to explain diagnosis or treatment. Bad bedside manner. Do not recommend.
