Dr. Flahive is great! She's very knowledgeable, caring, and explained well what she was doing before and during the biopsy. She explained what comes next and my options. She was encouraging as well as thoughtful.

Dr Flahive is the first Dr to listen to me. After almost half my life in pain, she listened and almost was able to speak as if she knew what I was going through, versus saying "you're ok, nothings wrong, it is in your head" I wish I found her 15 years sooner. She has changed my life.

Dr was amazing, personal and knowledgeable. Top notch office staff and Dr, truly a diamond in the rough. I've searched over a decade for someone to understand what is going on with me and my body. I usually leave Drs offices feeling defeated and even more confused. I left the office feeling great and hopeful that a Dr actually wants to help me.

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.
