Patient Reviews
Jul 09, 2016
Dr. Finlayson removed about 7 inches of my intestines that were severely inflamed from Crohn's Disease. After a year of horrible discomfort, I was referred to her and she did an awesome job. My recovery was so smooth, especially considering that this is an inherently complicated and invasive procedure. I was also impressed during my consultation with her - she talked me through all of my options and made me very comfortable with my decision to move forward with the surgery. Couldn't be happier!
