Dr. Flynn and his nurse, Kacey, are top notch. You couldn't ask for anything better!!!

Review for Dr. Uhlenhake

No manners was 2 hours late to my appointment. The office will not even schedule you early with him as he is not even in the office. No manners or bed side. To short and off the cuff. And told me due to his lateness he was the the Dr for me
