Dr. Finnerty's online appointment scheduler for exams and phone calls

Please note: The appointments are in EASTERN TIME

Please do NOT schedule an exam appointment unless you intend to schedule an examination with Dr. Finnerty (for example, scheduling an exam is not needed for a nexus letter based just on a records review). Please do not schedule an appointment for a records review. The cost of an examination with Dr. Finnerty can be found here. Dr. Finnerty does not accept insurance.

Phone calls

You can email questions to [email protected]. If you are concerned about the privacy of email let Dr. Finnerty and/or his assistant know and we can add an encryption option to the email exchanges using Microsoft 365 encryption. In addition, you can also call Dr. Finnerty's assistant roughly Monday through Friday 8am to 5pm eastern (or leave a voicemail for her) at (614)696-6706. If she is not able to immediately answer your questions she can always send a message to Dr. Finnerty and get back to you with Dr. Finnerty's response.

If you need to speak with Dr. Finnerty directly for questions/ a free consultations there may be some free 15 minute or less phone call appointment slots available- these are NOT for examinations such as completing a DBQ, they are just for quick consultations to discuss questions and options for how Dr. Finnerty may or may not be able to help. There are only a limited number of free consultation appointments available each week; these slots are available to be booked in the online scheduler and fill up quickly. If you schedule an appointment and then later no longer need it please let Dr. Finnerty's assistant know ASAP so we can free up that slot for another person. Thank you,

WAITLIST: There are often times when there are NO EXAM APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE IN THE ONLINE SCHEDULER

Advisory: There are unlikely to be any exam appointments available in the online scheduler in the Fall of 2025 and Winter, Spring and early summer of 2026. To get an appointment you'll likely need to go through Dr. Finnerty's assistant using the waitlist.

There are often times when there are no appointments available to be scheduled in the online scheduler. However, you may still be able to get an appointment through Dr. Finnerty's assistant. However, there is no guarantee about when or if appointments will be available through the waitlist.

Dr. Finnerty's assistant is maintaining a waitlist and she may be able to get you an appointment, or she will let you know when appointments become available, if you ask her to include you in the waitlist.

You can reach Dr. Finnerty's assistant by calling (614)696-6706. She also maintains Dr. Finnerty's email at [email protected] and you can reach her by emailing there.

Please note there are other psychologists who may be able to get you in to an appointment sooner. You could try one from this list, for example

Scheduling an evaluation

When appointments are available in the online scheduler they will appear in Dr. Finnerty's Microsoft Bookings link to schedule an exam appointment.

When you're in the online scheduler be sure to click the service at the top first and then it will load in the available dates and times in the calendar below. You can then click on a bold date to see the times- they will be available at the right (for an exam it will most likely say 11:00AM or 1:00PM and you can click on your choice of time). Then add your details on the bottom. Appointments are generally only available around three to six months in advance of the appointment time.

Please note: health insurance typically doesn't cover one-time examinations for forensic/legal/disability-claim reasons or educational purposes.

If you can't make the appointment or need to reschedule

Dr. Finnerty often does not have enough appointment slots available for all of the Veterans or others who may need an exam. If it turns out you can't make the appointment or need to reschedule PLEASE LET Dr. Finnerty know ASAP so that he can let another Veteran or other individual who needs the spot get a spot. Thank you! If you are a Veteran in need of an examination and Dr. Finnerty has limited or no availability, you may be able to find another psychologist on this list here.

IMPORTANT: YOU MUST ALSO CONFIRM YOUR EXAM APPOINTMENT 1-2 weeks before the appointment time (or you risk losing it to someone on the waitlist)

Reminder messages will be sent to you one to two weeks before your examination appointment. YOU MUST confirm that you will attend the appointment by around one week before the appointment or Dr. Finnerty's assistant may cancel your appointment and schedule someone from the waitlist instead.

If you're not able to make it to the appointment or no longer need it, please contact Dr. Finnerty's asssistant ASAP to let him know. Also, please confirm that you will attend the meeting either by sending an email noting that you will attend or by calling Dr. Finnerty's assistant and telling her you will attend (614)696-6706.

THIS IS IMPORTANT: If you don't confirm that you will attend the appointment by around one week before the appointment time you RISK LOSING THE APPPOINTMENT TIME. If Dr. Finnerty's assistant doesn't hear from you to confirm the appointment she may cancel your appointment and schedule someone else in that slot. Please let us know ASAP if you do or do not plan to attend your appointment. Thank you for understanding.

ALSO: If you have not already, please respond to all of the questionnaires linked to from this page on Dr. Finnerty's website here: https://toddfinnerty.com/quickquestions.html. Please do this AT LEAST one day before the appointment (you may respond to them now if you have time). Please also be sure to get any background records to Dr. Finnerty at least one day before the appointment (preferably sooner so Dr. Finnerty has time to review them prior to your appointment). If you have questions on how to send records please feel free to email or call Dr. Finnerty's assistant at (614)696-6706.
