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.

Absolutely the Best!
My son and I are patients of Dr. Flynn, and we cannot thank him enough for all his amazing and professional skills, great bedside manners. He is kind, very smart, and does not hesitate to find the cause and solution to the symptoms. He is a great listener as well. Dr. Flynn is always very pleasant, even when he is super busy. He tries to call every patient himself, after a procedure. He explains issues very clearly. My life has dramatically improved after he diagnosed a chronic issue that - for many years, no other doctors had figured out! We wish Dr. Flynn all the best. Thank you a million!

Amazing Dr and team!
The experience I had being in Dr Flynn’s care was one of the best I’ve had with any medical provider and his nurses at Chippenham Hospital were all the sweetest. The whole team made me feel at ease and comfortable, especially when it comes to such an uncomfortable subject. Would HIGHLY recommend going here for any Gastro issues.

Greatest Bedside Manner
Dr. Flynn is one of the best doctors I have ever had. We travel 70 miles to see him. He is thorough yet very compassionate. I am a former RN so I know how a doctor should be. Dr. Flynn is this kind of doctor. Now I have my husband going to him. He is strategic in his diagnosis and has a super bedside manner!! His nurses are wonderful too!! So blessed to have him!!

Best GI doctor ever
Doctor Flynn is the most caring, through doctor I have ever had. I have had him since 2018. He always takes the time to explain everything. I have never had a bad experience with the staff, procedures explained to me. And I have a bad condition of my esophagus. He usually and most of the time calls me himself. His smile and kindness, but also makes clear to you what you need to have done. There is nothing that I would want to change. He is the best of the best.

For about 2 years I have been suffering from dysphagia (swallowing problem). Dr. Flynn did the necessary tests including barium swallowing and performed upper GI endoscopy. He dilated esophageal stenosis and cured the health problem I was suffering from and now I can swallow food and eat my meals without fear of being choked. He and his stuff are very courteous and helpful. I called Christina, his nurse support 2x with questions and concerns before and after the procedure, and she answered all my questions completely to my satisfaction with absolute pleasant personality and WORLD-CLASS customer service and professionalism.

One of my doctors referred me to Richmond Gastroenterology Associates but not to a particular provider. After reviewing each provider and then their reviews, I felt like Dr. Flynn and I would match up nicely. Dr. Flynn and I had our first meeting via a Telepathy phone call. I was very impressed with him. He had reviewed all of my medical records from my other doctors and already had an action plan ready for me. Dr. Flynn has helped me more since April 3, 2020, then my previous doctor helped me in two years. I am very happy with him, appreciate the time he has given to me, and feel like I can finally gain control of my life again. I cannot wait to actually meet him in person!!!

Dr. Flynn is not qualified to diagnose. After over 3 yrs. of pain and severe symptoms, a real treatment plan hasn't been established. He frustrates easily and is rude.

I can’t speak too highly of the care I continue to receive from Dr. Flynn and his staff. He has gone above and beyond to take excellent care of my healthcare needs. I rank him at the top of the doctors I’ve had over my almost 60 years. When ever I am in contact with him or his staff, I express my gratitude for all they do for patients each and every day.

In my recent, first-time, meeting with Dr. Flynn I found him to be easy to talk to. He allowed plenty of time for us review and discuss my medical history. Afterwards, he recommended a simple, specialized blood test available that might provide more definition to a condition I've had for years.
