    The front desk helped me update my personal info with ease. I was called back with minimal wait time. MA is friendly and personable, but also very professional and expedient. Dr. Fincken came in right away after MA took my vitals and other info. The exam was thorough, and the next steps were clearly explained to me. I also appreciate the fast and accurate information shared via My Chart. I have been completely satisfied with my experience with ARC and Dr. Fincken's team.

    Dr. Fincken is the Best!

  • March 25, 2026

    Dr Fincken provided the same level of outstanding care and support he has provided for me since my first visit with him in 1994. He always listens, interrupting only to verify or clarify my report. The meetings are like conversations between two very good friends. Most importantly, he trusts me to “give it to him straight.” I hope, for me and all his patients, that he is still practicing medicine on the day I die.
