I am shocked to see a couple of bad reviews. My doc is Dr. Flannigan and when I went to see him several years ago, I had already been to several doctors over the past 3 years with no luck in treating my back pain. The doctors just kept prescribing me pain pills after pain pills and I did not want to keep taking these b/c of how they made me feel. The first time I saw Dr. Flannigan, I was in tears and hopeless expecting the same results from him as I have received from the other docs. He said to me in a very calm voice that he would never give up on me and would be able to help. After a couple of treatments, we both decided that I would do a trial for the pain pump. What a world of difference!!!!! Once he saw the difference, we decided to proceed with the full implant. I finally got my life back. I cannot find the words to express how much I respect him, how grateful I am to him for caring enough to not give up on me. No longer do I cry in pain, no longer do I need to take any oral meds. I can walk again, I can exercise, I can sleep and I owe it all to him. He is an absolutely fantastic doctor and my experiences with the staff has been positive as well. He showed more empathy one one day, than I got from all the doctors combined showed me in the three years prior. THANK YOU DR. FLANNIGAN! read more
