I had an excellent experience with Dr. Flynn for the treatment of my shoulder and rotator cuff tear. She is highly knowledgeable, professional, and skilled in her field. From the initial consultation to post-treatment care, Dr. Flynn displayed exceptional expertise and attention to detail.
Caring, informative and a professional performance with my visit. Thank you Dr Flynn.
She’s the best and very thorough
Loved the encouragement to keep crushing it in hockey.
Love Dr. Flynn's bedside manner.
Outstanding communication and medical knowledge
Dr Flynn is awesome. Did my shoulder replacement surgery. Asked several times if I had any questions as she progressed through my examination.
Dr. Flynn is one of the most kind, considerate and caring doctors I have ever encountered. Her bedside manner is wonderful and down to earth. She listens respectfully to your questions, gives detailed answers and does not ever make you feel as if she is rushing through the appointment. I highly recommend Dr. Flynn.
Finally got a correct diagnosis.
I was so lost on this visit because it was really a waste of time. If I told you what my problem was my initial problem was I should’ve been directed to a foot and ankle specialist from the start.
