Doctor J Emanuel Finet is a very good doctor. I came to him looking for a second opinion and wound up transferring to him from my local heart specialist who had diagnosed me with CHF. At the time I was looking at having a pacemaker implanted because my heart was so weak. Within a year of being in Dr. Finet's care, my heart has returned to almost normal for my age. I am off many of the medicines I was on prior to coming to doctor Finet. I have resumed to doing all the activities I did prior to CHF and I owe it to his care. My wife and I look forward to my visits with him because he's informative and has a great sense of humor.
