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.

Excellent surgeon
My 88 year old father with an extensive medical history recently was diagnosed with colon cancer. Dr Flannery performed surgery to remove and resect the cancerous area. We were apprehensive before the initial meeting, dad had tough outcomes from surgeries in the past. We all felt extremely comfortable from our 1st appointment. Dr Flannery explained the procedure in a way we could completely understand. He explained the precautions he would take including having a urologist insert lighted stents into the ureters to prevent possible damage during the procedure. He explained the testing he did during the surgery to make sure there were no leaks. My father came out of the laparoscopic surgery with flying colors. No colostomy needed or other complications. He still has a little healing to do but is great. Very little pain and eating with no issues. We feel so grateful for the conscientious and meticulous approach from Dr Flannery. Post op care from Amber & pre op care from Megan also great.

Surgical Procedure
Dr. Flannery was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He performed my fistulotomy with precision and care. He made me comfortable in an uncomfortable situation and did an excellent job. I had minimal to no pain after and am healing without issue. He explained everything prior and answered all my questions (and all my follow up questions). I hope I will never have to have this done again, but if I did I would absolutely have it done by him.

Dr. Flannery was awesome. He was able to help my situation with an infrared coagulation treatment performed in the office in less than 10 minutes. No other doctor suggested there was such a procedure available and I waisted time and money going to surgeons with no relief. I highly recommend Dr. Flannery!

Excellent surgeon!
Upon receiving a bad colonoscopy result during a routine screening, I was referred to Dr. Flannery for emergency colon surgery. During the consultation, Dr. Flannery was very thorough about what needed to be done and talked about the recovery process and provided information for various possible outcomes, which greatly helped! Since it was an emergency, Dr. Flannery had me put at the top of the list and had me scheduled for surgery within a week! Dr. Flannery's extensive experience and nice bedside manner greatly helped me mentally prepare for the surgery. The surgery went perfect! I stayed in SNH hospital on a special floor for a week for recovery (I think the wing is dedicated for patients for colon surgery-Amber from Dr. Flannery's office is awesome and is in charge of the floor). I was notified of the good biopsy results, before going home, and was relieved to hear that they were able to completely remove the cancerous section and since it didn't spread, I am cancer free!

Highest recommendation
After being diagnosed with colon cancer, Dr. Flannery explained the surgical procedure to me in detail, answered my questions and I left his office knowing that I was in the best care. I cannot say enough about the caring treatment that I received after surgery in the hospital for five days and the follow-up visits with Amber. I would highly recommend Dr. Flannery and his team.

I highly recommend Dr. Flannery for your colorectal surgery needs. While he's clearly very busy, he always communicated with me in about my options and provided advice on addressing a very serious pilonidal cyst. His surgical skills are amazing -- in fact, my mother called him an artist because I have very little scarring.

Professional and Caring.
I had colon surgery as a result of a positive pathology report showing I had colon cancer. Dr. Flannery and APRN Amber Francoeur were outstanding. Dr Flannery went over my options with my wife and I, and made recommendations. We discussed possible issues that may arise and what Dr Flannery would be doing to mitigate those problems. The surgery was successful, and post surgical care provided by Amber helped me to feel that I was being listened to. There was never any pressure that I needed to leave the hospital still unsure of my recovery. I would recommend these professionals to anyone struggling with the fear of colon cancer.

Dr. Flannery deserves "infinity" stars. He is an excellent colorectal surgeon. I was advised by Dr. Flannery for 5 yrs that I should consider a hemorrhoidectomy. I heard about the painful post op so I refused. I finally listened to him. I arrived at So NH Medical Center. I was immediately welcomed by the staff. The intake process was quick & efficient. Staff were caring & knowledgeable. My surgery went well. Dr. Flannery saw me post op & was kind & told me what he had performed. Post op pain? I was expecting horrible pain, but no, just burning sensation for 4 days & then mild discomfort for 7 days. I worked as a hospital executive in Boston for over 35 years. I admit I was hesitant about going to a community doctor and community hospital. But I will tell you, I had the best experience. Dr. Flannery, his staff and So NH Medical Center staff were exceptional in their care of me. Hence, I highly recommend Dr. Flannery as a colorectal surgeon as well as South NH Medical Center.

Dr. Flannery performed surgery on me for a large polyp removal that was discovered during a routine colonoscopy. The surgery was flawless and the aftercare has been amazing. I haven't felt this great in a long time. He explained everything to me and answered all my question. I would send my family and friends to him and his staff without hesitation.

Dr Flannery and his staff are excellent. I was in terrible pain from a chronic fissure when I arrived at his office. I had been dealing with the pain for months. He was kind and saw what was going on and provided me with my options. I ended up getting surgery - and he did an amazing job. I was in pain for half year -not even one week post surgery my pain levels were lower - two weeks out I had no pain. None. I am hiking and gardening and leaving my house. It’s night and day post surgery. He is an excellent and skilled surgeon and I highly recommend him.

I've had on going complications with a fistula relapse, and after agreeing to a colonoscopy that wasn't relevant to the issue, and having inconclusive imaging done. He basically dropped me after getting some billing in. I continue to experience fluid seepage into the perianal region, and now need to find a new doctor to help me address it since Dr. Flannery is only in it for the easy money.

I could not be more impressed or thankful that I met Dr. Flannery and his team when I happened to need their specialization the most. After a misdiagnose from another hospital months before that created an urgent situation for me at an ER, Dr. Flannery quickly diagnosed my problem and told me what needed to happen and why. It was an urgent situation and I will be forever grateful that he was the surgeon that I met with that night. His entire staff has been tremendous during the surgeries and the care in between. I cannot recommend Dr. Flannery enough.

Just a heads up to potential "preventative" colonoscopy patients. Make it clear you are there for preventative and not diagnostic, which I did. However my billing code was changed to diagnostic without me knowing due to questions asked prior to procedure in which I stated several times "not a problem". Also, the Dr. never told me he had concerns about anything we discussed prior to the colonoscopy and did not alert me he was changing it to diagnostic. No polyps were found as well which change your coding. The doctor was fine for procedure and it was uneventful. His staff is fabulous. After receiving the bill I contacted the office and it took over 3 months to get a "final" decision that they would not resubmit the code as preventative. So almost $2,000.00 later when it was supposed to be a preventative colonoscopy covered in full by my insurance, here I am. Hopefully my "lack of knowledge" to just say nothing prior to the procedure will be helpful to someone so they don't go thr

Very professional and knowledgeable. I had Diverticulitis, and had multiple attacks that landed me in the emergency room and was admitted 3 different times. After the 3rd attack, I met Dr. Flannery. At that point we planned out my surgery. Dr. Flannery and his PA-C Beth Neuhardt, answered my numerous questions about prep, the surgery itself, and what to expect after. Dr. Flannery and his staff were very accessible, which made me feel more at ease. I had surgery 10 weeks ago today and everything went as planned. I feel great!! I highly recommend Dr. John Flannery and his staff!
