Dr. Flahive is the best. Her care for her patients is so genuine, I always feel like I'm talking to a highly educated girlfriend. She delivered my son 3.5 years ago. I was exhausted and not sure I could continue, but her energy when she walks in the room is so vibrant. My husband says the life came back into my face and I was ready to try again. That energy and compassion has continued every routine appointment I've had with her. And she's SO sharp. I always leave feeling informed and confident. I honestly get so excited when she's available to schedule. I've had two consecutive losses, and am extremely nervous about the future, but I was lucky enough to have her for my VOP today and I really needed that.
