You be the judge: waited 45 minutes, saw Dr. for 20 minutes, was charged $564 (self insured) for unnecessary biopsy and minor procedure.
Examination room untidy and ill-equipped. Would never recommend. Chose Dr. because of convenient

I liked my appointment with Dr. Finesmith. She is nice and low-key, and somehow made me feel very comfortable about doing the exam of my whole body. Dr. Finesmith thoroughly examined me, and identified my little ongoing skin skirmishes

I have been seeing Dr. Finesmith for about three years. After living in a tropical climate for many years, I am concerned about skin cancer. I have had several "spots" frozen off and a few moles removed plus a few other minor skin

Pros: No drama, No Upsell

On my last visit, I was charged $125 over the office visit because I had not been in for 2 years (gee, I didn't need to go every 6mos/year!). Even though my insurance paid the entire office call, and $24 of this "extra charge" Tina was

Cons: Extra charges for visits over 2 years
I decided to go to Dr. Finesmith mainly for her convenient location in Ballard. After reading the reviews I didn't know what to expect of my visit. Seems like people either loved her or hated her - which camp would I join?\r

This doctor seems to be just concerned with the $$$-no nurse, curt attitude--a definite scrooge. I would not refer friends and family to her!

I once had a case of basal cell carcinoma on my arm that required surgery for removal, so Dr Finesmith concern for looking for skin cancer is reassuring. But she also understands the desire for nice skin and does not get too zealous.
