Biography
Dr. Flynn is a board certified orthopaedic surgeon who specializes in hand surgery, nerve surgery, and orthopaedic surgery. She treats patients at TOI's Gainesville and Lake City offices.
Common procedures performed by Dr. Flynn include carpal tunnel release, cubital tunnel release, trigger finger release, wrist and hand fracture fixation, finger joint arthritis surgery, thumb basal joint arthroplasty, Dupuytren's contracture release, tendon laceration repair, and wrist arthroscopy.
Dr. Flynn became an orthopaedic hand surgeon because the hand is so important for daily life, and being able to restore and preserve the function of the hand for patients, leading to improved quality of life, is extremely rewarding.
She strongly believes that the patient should be an active participant in their healthcare. Dr. Flynn will work to help patients feel comfortable while they discuss the nature of their problem as well as the surgical and non-surgical treatment options. Her goal is that by the end of a patient’s visit they will have gained a greater understanding of the diagnosis and treatment plan that works best for them.
In her free time, Dr. Flynn enjoys spending time with family, working out, kayaking, and cheering for the New Orleans Saints.
