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.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Flick is so professional and he has a great bedside manner. He is very knowledgeable and has always addressed my problem and fixes it in one visit. I highly recommend him to anyone who has pain especially in the shoulder !

Definition of Professional
Dr.Flik was extremely personable, direct and efficient as well as his staff. I was seen by Dr. Flik, x-rayed and seen again in 15 minutes, that’s amazing! More importantly; I trusted his assessment.

Excellent care-best doctor
I was able to get in to see Dr. Flik within a week. I have been a patient since 2008. Dr. Flik operated on both shoulders and I recovered quickly and without any issues. My recent visit was for my right shoulder. He reviewed my x-rays with me and answered all of my questions. As always, he was friendly, professional, and empathetic.

Dr. Flick
Dr. Flick and his team are truly exceptional! From my very first appointment, he showed patience, kindness, and incredible attention to detail. I spent over a year debating whether to go through with ACL and meniscus surgery, and he never rushed me always taking the time to answer my questions and ease my concerns. I was especially nervous about scarring, and each visit, he carefully drew out what it would look like. Every time I asked, do you think I need a plastic surgeon? He would smile and say, “No, Gail, trust me, l do just as good of a job”. And he absolutely did!When I finally decided to move forward with surgery after losing control of my knee, Dr. Flick and his entire team made the experience smooth and stress-free. The nurses, PA, and anesthesiologist were incredibly kind and patient, ensuring I was comfortable with warm blankets and explaining everything as many times as I needed. Their care did not stop after the procedure. Dr. Flick personally called to check on me

Knee pain.
All of the office personnel were very professional and nice. Dr Flik was very nice and explained why my knee was hurting so badly and giving out at times. He knew exactly what needed to be done to alleviate the pain. The shot of cortisone and the knee brace has helped a whole lot. I can walk without the pain and fear of my knee giving out. He's the Best!

Truly Outstanding Surgeon
During May 2020 I had an appointment with Dr. Flik for severe pain to my right shoulder. After trying a Cortizone shot first, which did not help much, I opted to have surgery was that was performed December 2020 by Dr. Flick consisting of orthoscopic surgery to right shoulder. He shaved arthritis off and mended tears to rotator cuff. It’s been four years now and the shoulder feels great. He mentioned I may need shoulder replacement in the future, but don’t require it at this time. In January 2025 I went to see dr. Flik, for discomfort in my left shoulder. He diagnosed it as osteoarthritis and provided my options to deal with it non-surgically. I opted for a Cortizone shot and so far, so good. Dr. Flik, has a great bedside manner and is very relatable. I was pleasantly surprised that I only had to wait five minutes in the waiting room.

I returned as a patient of Dr Flik after several years from my R shoulder replacement. He advised me and took Xrays and scheduled a CT scan on the same shoulder. I've been having severe pain and may end up with more surgery. I have complete confidence in Dr FLik in fixing the problem

Great doctor
Dr. Flick takes the time to hear all my concerns. He takes the time to explain what is happening with my shoulder. He is thoughtful of my lifestyle and my family. Eventually I’ll need a shoulder replacement but until that time he is making me comfortable with cortisone injections.

A doctor who listens and cares
I drive an hour and a half to see Dr Flik because he’s great. He always has a smile on his face and seems to really enjoy what he does. He listens and cares. Most orthopedic surgeons suggest physical therapy before they even have a diagnosis. Dr Flik finds the problem first. He offered for me to watch my surgery and it was fascinating. I’m seeing him now for a new issue and I know he will find a solution
