Professional Statement:
I consider myself a "people doctor" a physician who sees each patient as a multi-faceted whole person, not just a single symptom case. I listen, I ask questions, I hear what my patient's say as well as what their bodies tell me. This may take more time, but it is necessary time...to assure each patient receives the complete care she or he requires. The challenge of a difficult diagnosis inspires me. To look at everything,anything,to be ever watchful for those rare conditions,which can go undiagnosed and cause such prolonged suffering for so many. To always remember that patient's aren't just patient's they are people first. Dr. Alexandra Fingesten

Patient Reviews for Alexandra Fingesten, MD
- Recommendation
- Bedside Manner
- Wait Time
Dr. Fingesten's style is definitely no nonsense--she gives it to you straight. I found her thorough and knowledgeable, and would definitely be comfortable seeing her again. She seemed a little distracted at one point when I was explaining about the OTC meds I'd been trying, but looking back that's probably because she'd already diagnosed me in her mind and knew that the OTC stuff wasn't helping anyway. She also seemed to get a little frustrated when talking on the phone I think to a lab, but she didn't carry this frustration over to me and it didn't really affect me one way or the other.
Recommendation- Bedside Manner
- Wait Time
Based on reading other reviews, I had an unusual experience because I was seen immediately. I literally waited for about 3 minutes in the waiting room and 2 minutes in the exam room.

Bedside Manner- Wait Time
I'm sure she is a great doctor, though apparently she's always horribly behind schedule. As a new patient, I waited almost 2 hours before asking for a refund on my co-pay and leaving. I wasn't even asked whether I wanted to reschedule my appointment; it's as if the receptionist knew I'd made the right choice by getting out of there.

Got to my appointment 15 minutes early to fill out paper work. I was taken to exam room right on time, but then I waited for 50 minutes for the doctor to arrive. Despite the wait, I would still highly recommend Dr. Fingesten. She was very nice, professional, and made me feel at ease.
