Dr. Ellen Joan Flinchum, MD

Arrogant, rude-control freak!

Accused my mom of drug seeking because her nurse misunderstood a call that was made. Walked in the appointment with a rude unprofessional attitude and didn’t plan on hearing her out. Barely said she was sorry after my mom forced her to listen to her side. They drug test and my mom brought her pills to show she had more than she should have due to not taking them like she was accused. This was only at the 3rd visit. I would never recommend her! She and her nurse deserve to be fired treating patients like that when they should be helping!

She is cautious on first visit, but after that w/past medical records, exrays, etc., she is professional & cares about her patients. There are two in our family who require pain meds and she has taken good care of them. She is missed. Wish we Knew where she is practicing now. My mother-in-law will soon be 93 and was treated for her problem w/respect and totally believed regarding her pain issues. My husband was also treated in the same professional manner. No complaints here.

Fixates on issues that are not relevant and dismisses the reasons you are there for.

I refuse to give this cold hearted woman any stars. This woman is nothing but evil. She saw myself and my husband whose has MS. She didn't have any of his or mine records and would not treat him and accused him of just looking for drugs. She REFUSED TvO help him and then lied to his PCP and told them he walked out on her but she is the one who told him she would not treat him and that she had MS patients and she knew what he should feel and what pain he should have. Her license should be taken away. She is suppose to help people but is a cold hearted witch.

One of the most uncaring and rude individuals I have ever encountered, no people skills at all. She's focuses on things in your life other than what you are there for. She hears what she wants to hear not what you tell her and she does not go over your medical records with you. She is a very bitter person and treated me with that bitterness. I will not recommend her to anyone, people deserve to treated with respect and caring, not nastiness.

I don't agree with most of you, but anymore people in need are just as "DEPENDENT" as the addicts, I'm mean really our body is no different. With that said I will miss her,thought she was great, she left PTCB and I wish I knew where she was, or why she left., I was a patient of hers for almost 4 years. And she helped me with injections etc..I will say i didn't like being on a med that doesn't work and you feel stuck with nothing but a nurse practitioner to re write your RX for another two months.But I feel that when I did get to see her she listened and cared and tried to make changes but only changes she was allowed too... I will say no one I don't care who they are should make anyone destroy any meds that you paid for. It has gotten out of control and that's why there are rules and regulations that these places have to follow. Get over yourself life is pain. I take sh!t that takes the edge off but never works 100% doesn't last long enough ...but take it away and see if I'm not… happy as sh!t with it. Face it, they got us by the balls like it or lump it . And she's no coward. She speaks out against gov regulations and fights for our right to take meds not shots and overly priced procedures .

She had me on same medicine for three years and I told her I was I constant pain and she wouldn't recommend injections or anything else .

Discharged me from the pain Clinic without seeing me because Iwouldnt bring in my old methadone to destroy them. I wasn't even on them for months and she was looking for a reason to get rid of me. I'm on disability and in pain. She is a coward.

she will treat you like a drug addict
