Fineman, who has lived and practiced medicine in Sarasota for more than ten years, is board certified in both internal medicine and nephrology. This gives him the unique expertise to provide comprehensive care of patients who need management of medically acute and complex conditions and individuals looking for wellness and preventive care.

“It’s widely apparent that our current healthcare system is experiencing significant change and becoming more complex for patients to navigate. In this type of practice, I have the time to get to know every patient and be proactive about their care. Most people want and really value a doctor who knows them. Physicians should be an important and integral part of your trusted team of advisors,” said Fineman.
