Dr Flanigan reattached the meniscus to the bone of of my right knee in June 2015. He didn't look at my age (60), instead looked at my lifestyle, overall health and desire to remain active. Because of his skill, I am playing sand 2's volleyball and hope to do so for many years!

Dr Flanigan has the most incredible bedside manner and exhibits genuine care and concern for patient well being. He takes the time to answer all questions and delivers the unpopular news with compassion and thoughtfulness. He has excellent staff members assisting him and they have all exhibited top notch professionalism and care. Specific to performing the surgery, Dr Flanigan visited me at the hospital to make sure I was fully prepared and assured me he would give me the strongest knee possible, before performing the surgery. My parents said he kept them informed with great details and he answered all of their questions. I'm recovering now, and while it's a long journey, I am well on my way and my post op appointments with him are going extremely well. I would highly recommend Dr. Flanigan to others, especially family and friends!

I was referred to him for a second opinion. He was much better than the first referral (affiliated with Riverside), and Dr Flanigan performed my surgery [new ACL and cartilage trimming] My whole experience with the OSU Sports Medicine Center has been excellent. The professional staff I've worked with: nurses, physician's assistants, physical therapists, exercise physiologists... they all seem to be top notch people who believe in what they're doing. One of the best experiences I've had with the medical community.

On June 11, 2010 I was involved in a car accident. During the accident, my left knee was severely damaged. The ACL, MCL, and PCL needed to be replaced with cadaver tendons; two tibias and one achilles. My meniscus also needed work.
After spending over three hours in the wreckage, being life flighted, and spending six days in the hospital, I was very leery of doctors.
We, my family and I, met Dr. Flanigan while in the hospital, and to say the least, he truly was a breath of fresh air…. given the circumstances, that said a lot too! What an awesome attitude he has. Above all else, he made my wife and I very comfortable with the circumstances and what the healing process entailed.
During one of Dr. Flanigan and I's initial meetings, I asked him, “Are you the right guy to do this (surgery)?” I can't imagine this is a common question asked of Dr. Flanigan, but given the potential aftermath of the injuries sustained, I questioned if he was the best doctor to complete the vast number of surgeries involved. I wanted to make sure, given I'm an active 34 year old athlete, that I was going to get back to where I was prior to the accident. I could not afford to lose another step given my aging body! :) That was the most important thing to me. I wanted the best of the best. I was blessed, as I truly believe I received exactly that.
Dr. Flanigan performed over five total surgeries on my left knee. He, and his staff, are very knowledgeable, courteous, kind, and caring. I will say, out of any doctor I have ever been affiliated with, from physicians to surgeons, he has always made me feel as I am the only patient in his office. He answers all my questions thoroughly, is very personable, and treats all his patients with the respect and time each one needs and deserves.
Thanks to Dr. Flanigan I'm currently back playing competitive flag football, competitive softball, running, and squatting over 400lbs in the gym.
I'm proud that Dr. Flanigan is my orthopedic. Do what's best for you as I did. Best of luck, and thank you Dr. Flanigan!
