The practice is solo and has been at the present location for 35 years. The practice excels at giving a lot of time to each patient. I have a very calm affect on patients. I excel at simplifying medical problems. I can educate the patient so they are able to participate in making decisions about their health care based on knowledge. I am practical but very thorough. Alot of focus on prevention and nutrition.

I had been asked by Dr. Feinstein, on my first visit, to have a special test done to ascertain if there were bleeding problems internally. After following through with his request of which I absolutely concurred due to past problems, I had another appointment. My first appointment with Dr. Feinstein, I felt so comfortable, realized his expertise in his area, and decided at that time, after his taking down much history, and having gathered information from my Cedars doctors, he would be my new gastroenterologist.This second appointment, he explained in detail the result of my test, my level of stress as well as anxiety I have been going through, and the cause of my concerns, which he acknowledged to be understandable. I truly felt I could ask him any question, and he would not think it was foolish or unjustified. He is a doctor with whom my comfort level was so high, and I have already referred him to two friends who need a doctor having his specialty.
The office waiting room is roomy and comfortable. I was the only person waiting and the wait time was only about 5 minutes. The doctor ushered me into his office and we proceeded to discuss my medical life since my last visit. Dr. F has always been respectful, kind and thorough, with a great sense of humor, and this visit was no different. After our discussion he took me to an exam room, did a brief physical exam, and then told me what to expect in preparing for the colonoscopy. We said our good-byes and I scheduled the procedure with his assistant, who was very pleasant and helpful. Definitely an all around positive doctor experience.
