Dr. Finklestein is knowledgeable, caring and prompt. He has been treating me for several years and I wouldn’t think of going to anyone else.

I have had previous back pain treated by Dr. Finkelstein. My last treatment lasted a long time. So I'm back for help again.

Visiting Dr. Finkelstein at the Resurgens Cumming location was a AAA+ experience from start to finish. The Resurgens location is easy to find, clean, and welcoming. For my appointment, check-in was quick and there was less than a two minute wait time until I was called to the appointment room. Staff, including reception, nurse, PA, and techs were professional, courteous, efficient at their job, and helped to keep stress level down and my experience positive. Dr. Finkelstein was equally professional and provided good guidance and a treatment routine to help with my back issue. Overall, I recommend Dr. Finkelstein and the Cumming location. It was a very positive experience with little impact to my day.

Eli is thoughtful and caring snd spends the right amount of time with you. I had another doc do sn injection since Dr Finkelstein was on vacation and and after 3 days the pain returned. Eli has performed two sets of injections over the years and his were not painful at all and the results were fantastic. I highly recommend him for non surgical treatment of back pain.

Dr Finkelstein helped me with pain in my arm and shoulder blade. He is very thorough in his tests and crafted a treatment plan for me to feel better. I am feeling better after 2 days of meds and relieved. Looking forward to PT next week and put the pain in rear view mirror. Thank you doc.

Got an appointment fast and when I arrived, 10 minutes early, for the appt. I was taken back to the examing room. That in itself is worth a 5 star rating, but besides that the exam was thorough and the physician explained in detail my problem and with my input developed an adequate course of therapy. Great experience!
