    I have complete confidence in Dr. Fink. He has been my orthopedic surgeon for 21 years. I have had rotator cuff surgery, epidurals and surgery on my fibula. He has also given me cortisone injections. I have complete faith in him and I have referred all my friends to him. They are also very pleased with the treatment that Dr. Fink has given them.
