My wife and I both have great respect for Dr Jeff. As with all things, results vary with each individual. I do not believe that blaming someone else is the resolution. He has always been a great listener and a caring person. Cancer ruins lives but it is up to each person to decide to be optimistic about the life you have. I have survived a trying time with the help of Dr Jeff and his caring staff. Connie is a wonderful example for their staff. You can't go wrong with them.

Nothing but praise for this man. He works with me to solve medical issues that most doctors would have given up on. Great bedside manner with a sense of humor seldom seen in most doctors. He is honest and tells me when he doesn't know the answer. Can't say enough about him.

Complete missed diagnosis resulting in limited treatment options. Apathetic, unprofessional, and irresponsible. Wish we knew then what we know now.

I came to Dr. Flickinger with an enlarged prostate and the belief that I had cancer that had been misdiagnosted by a previous pathologist. Within a short period of time and several test, Dr. Flickinger did not find any sighs of cancer nor did Dr. Flickinger perform his own prostate biopsy which would have shown that I did not have cancer. My prostate had a high PSA-15 but was still functional. Dr Flickinger did not have to rush me into surgery because I was in no pain nor was I sick. I do not believe him to be compassionate or sorry for what he has done to my life.I am hopeing this review will help others to get a second oppion.

My office visit was a painful experience. Talking much but listening little, he lacked understanding and compassion.

Did not inform me of proton therapy as one of the treatment options for my cancer. He suggested treatment options that benefit his wallet.
