Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Totally missed my cancer
Had been please with my care until she completely missed the classic symptoms of ovarian cancer. She kept going off in different directions. Went to a colleague of hers who listened to be describe what had been going on for 4+ months. She correctly suspected Ovarian cancer, which was later confirmed at the hospital by another doctor who also listened to what had been going on and ordered test to confirm. I know ovarian cancer can be hard to diagnose but with two just listening to me explain from beginning of issues to time of diagnosis, it is clear Dr. Flynn wasn’t putting 2 and 2 together. Diagnosed stage IVa. I left her care.

Dr. Flynn has been excellent! She listens and makes sound medical decisions. She's entirely willing to admit that specialty care is required when appropriate and makes referrals without hesitation. I have the greatest respect for her.

I found Dr. Flynn after Googling and researching doctors for my mom, who was having trouble finding a good family doctor. Later, I went to Dr. Flynn myself after being bounced around literally about 8x to different doctors to deal with an issue I had. Dr. Flynn is amazing... she listens, she thinks about what you're saying, she gives you the time you need and always makes you feel important. I highly, highly recommend her. It is usually easy to get in as well. My entire family sees her now.

I am dumbfounded at my experience with Dr. Flynn. My impression is Dr. Flynn does not want male patients. There was total confusions from her communicating to the office staff follow-up. I am still waiting on the results of EKG, and the information conveyed on my phone message was completely incoherent from one of the office staff. I immediately found another doctor much better. Ironically this doctor is also a woman but very good.
