Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very informative discussion. Willing to consider various tests and approaches to treatment.

Waited in the packed office, during Covid, for an hour and a half! They said they like to do these procedures before they go to lunch. So, why not schedule it closer to lunch. My husband had just had surgery and waiting in those hard lobby chairs with masks on was not comfortable or necessary. The staff were friendly and apologetic. As for the doctor, he was nice and we felt like he knew his job well. He seems like a good listener and seems to care. Also, he studied at a top medical school and has many years experience. Just take a think book to read.

Had two surgeries performed by Dr Flickinger he was very informative in explaining just how they would be performed. I had no post surgery problems and the aftercare was great.

I feel a sense of relief when Dr. Flickenger enters the room. He is so easy to talk to and he listens. He is very knowledgeable and he is kind and has a "do no harm" approach. I moved away from Knoxville but when I needed help deciding to have an operation I went back to Dr. Flickenger first. He is what everyone needs in a doctor.
