Overview of patient comments

Summary created using AI

Patients appreciate

Dr. Brody Flanagin receives overwhelmingly positive feedback, with patients consistently praising his caring, attentive bedside manner and his ability to explain diagnoses, imaging results, and treatment options in clear, understandable terms. Many reviewers highlight that he listens closely to their concerns, answers questions thoroughly, and does not rush appointments. Numerous patients specifically appreciate his conservative approach, noting he does not push unnecessary surgery and instead discusses options like physical therapy or injections first. He is frequently described as knowledgeable, professional, and skilled, with many patients reporting excellent outcomes from shoulder surgeries, including rotator cuff repairs and shoulder replacements. His supporting staff are also often praised as friendly, efficient, and professional, and many patients say they have referred family and friends to him.

Patients also share

The most recurring area for improvement mentioned across reviews is wait time, with several patients noting they were delayed or waited longer than expected for appointments, though many acknowledged this was understandable given emergencies or a busy practice. A small number of individual reviews raised other isolated concerns: one review described feeling rushed and that concerns weren't taken seriously, one mentioned the front desk staff seemed unfriendly, one described the doctor as "a bit aloof," one noted confusion about clinic location options and imaging scheduling, and another single review felt he was "not very personable or kind." These appear to be exceptions rather than common themes.

Patient comments are gathered from our Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey and are displayed in their entirety. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.
