    Dr. Fincken is an absolute gem. Not only WOULD I recommend him, I HAVE—multiple times. He’s kind, caring, attentive, and engaged. Perfect bedside manner.

  • February 25, 2025

    I believe I’m getting the best care possible, but it’s also so dang great to feel as though ARC respects my time. Always in and out quickly, and with high confidence that I’m getting the best.

    Gerald was able to diagnose issue quickly and effectively. I would highly recommend him to other patients.

    Dr. Fincken is an excellent listener. He is extremely empathetic and helps me find ways to find solutions to my medical issues. He is great at diagnosing my medical health and mental health. I would recommend him to all of my closest friends and family.

    The front staff was very friendly. I had to change my insurance so they took care of that quickly. Waiting room was nice and organized, and the medical assistant was friendly and thorough. I enjoyed my visit with the doctor. He listened to my concerns and explained my course of treatment clearly.

    Dr. Fincken and the ARC staff is always first rate. I’m so glad our family switched years ago to ARC. Wisest choice we’ve made
