About
Philosophy of care
I view myself as an advocate and an educator for my patients, and greatly enjoy getting to know them and their families over the years. I am also an expert in quality cardiac care. My goal is providing effective, safe and high-value care for all our Heart and Vascular Institute patients.
Why I entered medicine
I loved the science of muscle physiology, cardiac mechanics and therapeutics. I wanted to use this science to help people get better and live longer.
Community involvement
I am a member of the American Heart Association’s Circle of Red Society, women working in the community in various ways to raise awareness about heart disease.
Personal interests
I love spending time with my family. My children are runners and soccer players. My husband and I both run with them and enjoy watching them compete.

Comments
"Dr. Feiner was an exceptional, is an exceptional doctor. She went out of her way to try to explain things to me. She took the time that I needed to try to get some answers and she answered my questions. She couldn't have done a more excellent job as far as I'm concerned. And she's going to be working with me on some testing that I have to have done, but she knew immediately what needed to take place, what the next steps were. There was no hesitation. She had such a great amount of consideration for my concerns and I have a huge confidence level in her based on her responses to me. So couldn't have been more satisfied, extremely satisfied with her service and having her take care of me in the future for my health."
"My visit this time was very good. We had a little bit of a wait, but nothing too long. This is also to be expected sometimes, especially for a cardiology practice. They do have emergencies come up and sometimes patients may take a little longer on their office visit due to unexpected circumstances. We have all been in that situation, or else we would not be in a Cardiologist's office, after all. My visit was a well check, or routine yearly check. I do not mind waiting for my turn at all."
"We spoke about losing weight and drugs vs seeing a dietitian. I think that there should be an online program to put your daily food list and have it reviewed as well as linking to daily steps etc, like a professional for a month to get you started on losing weight."
