Doctor Flatt and his team are right there for you. The will go above and beyond to help you every way possible. Even with his very busy schedule he contacted me very quickly and got me into the office right away to help relieve the bad pain that I was having. Again I know NWM has a lot of great Doctors but Doctor responds like a doctor should when a patient needs help. A few don't lately. Just ask me I would be glad to talk to you on the phone .

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
