October 7, 2023Evelyn A.Verified patient
Dental visits have always been such a stressful and traumatic process for me because of all.my experiences to a point that I just put them off and hoped for the best. Unfortunately the best didn't happen, but the silver lining is I was able to find Dr. Neil. I am now on a journey to restoring my oral health and so happy to have dr Neil in my corner. He is very respectful of patients, understanding of their fears, a reassuring and gentle bedside manner. Couldn't ask.for more. Highly recommend him.
July 2, 2023Sarah B.Verified patient
This was my first time seeing Dr. Finn and I had an overall good experience. He clearly explained my dental issue and provided multiple options for managing the condition. I appreciated his honesty and the way he sought to manage my expections around the success of some of the recommendations he suggested. I respected him for not pressuring me to make a decision on the spot as some dental providers often do.
I would definitely recommend Dr. Finn to anyone seeking a Peridontist. He and his staff were super friendly and made me feel very comfortable. I will be going back.
May 26, 2023Sharon W.Verified patient
Dr. Finn is simply the best. He's calm, friendly, and professional. I've had two procedures with him and ZERO pain. I can't recommend him enough. He is in a league of his own.
April 7, 2023Paul T.Verified patient
After so many dental providers being short, rude, and harsh, it was refreshing to meet one who was direct yet compassionate. Very clearly explained the causes of my gum recession and then also very clearly laid out my options. I felt heard and cared for.

Dr. Finn is professional, personable, and clearly explained my dental situation. I've already scheduled my next appointment. I was seen quickly and his staff was pleasant, accommodating, and patient.
January 21, 2022Paula G.Verified patient
I've never been to a periodontist before, and I hadn't been to a dentist or had a cleaning in 10 years! Dr. Finn was great, he not only "knows his stuff," he also is friendly, personable and GENTLE. I felt great when I left because Dr. Finn said that, for someone who hadn't been to a dentist or for a cleaning in years, my gums were basically in good shape. I don't need to see him again, but if I have ANY periodontal issues in the future, I'm definitely going back to Dr. Finn,
June 25, 2021Phyllis C.Verified patient
Dr. Finn was recommended by my dentist so I didn't hesitate to make an appointment. He is, in a word, excellent. He has a wonderful, calm personality and his staff are charming and welcoming. I had a gingivectomy and it was a piece of cake. Zero pain.
June 12, 2021Paul T.Verified patient
Staff was friendly and Dr. Finn was welcoming and walked me through what he was doing and what my options were. I only went for a consultation and I will definitely return when it's time to proceed.

I hate the dentist, periodontist,? and that whole industry. This was the most comfortable visit I have ever had. Dr.? Neil Finn is friendly, professional,? and non-shaming. The staff are so nice and made the whole experience just so much less daunting than I? anticipated. I'm very impressed.
March 25, 2021Melissa A.Verified patient
Dr. Finn is very professional and at the same time very empathetic. He takes the time to explain what's going on, listens carefully to address all concerns and goes over the treatment plan to communicate what to expect. I was really worried before the appointment, but felt so assured after seeing Dr. Finn, knowing that I'm in good hands. His office is well furnished/decorated and comfortable and I immediately felt welcomed upon arrival. His staff team is also amazing and makes the whole process from scheduling the appointment to the actual session so smooth. I look forward to starting my treatment sessions with Dr. Finn.

If you need to see a periodontist, I cannot recommend Dr. Finn highly enough. He is thorough without being alarmist and recommends the least invasive treatment plan based on your needs. His office is impeccable, his staff excellent and on top of all that, he is a super nice person!
November 6, 2020Wendi M.Verified patient
This was the best visit to the dentist that I’ve ever experienced. I have a phobia of dentists— I’ve been to so pretty bad ones— and am now dealing with the consequences of bad dental work. Dr. Finn listened, was sympathetic and solution oriented. I feel Like I am in good hands.
October 25, 2020Ilghana W.Verified patient
Dr Neil Finn is friendly, gentle and professional. His supporting staff were equally nice and made me feel very welcome. Compared to my previous experiences with other dentists and their staff, they were head and shoulders above. They anticipated when I needed any amenities from tissue paper to water. He also ensured I was comfortable throughout the process which I appreciated. He seemed very knowledgeable and I feel satisfied with my visit.

I had a consultation for receding gums with Dr. Finn, and he really made me feel comfortable. Dr. Finn walked me through his clinical analysis and treatment options, and his bedside manner made me feel comfortable about something I was otherwise nervous about!

This was my first periodontal cleaning.
Dr Finn is the best. He communicated with me right from the start from scheduling a consultation, walking me through the treatment plan, and getting an EOB from my insurance company so that I knew exactly where I stood before the treatment.
I was nervous going into the procedure and seeing a Periodontist for the first time but Dr Finn made sure I was comfortable and explained everything he was doing and made sure I was feeling no pain.
I would highly recommend him! A+++++++
