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.

Dr. Flynn and the Orthopaedic Institute in Gainesville, Florida, were wonderful in the surgery on my wrist this past week. I would recommend her for any Ortho problems you may have.

Had two shots in my hand for a Cyst that was connected someway with a tendon I believe was causing a trigger finger from my fall last fall. It’s much better. Almost gone. Was able to go back to work and carry on as normal. It’s not as painful and healing. Great staff and Doctor.

I could not ask for a better surgeon than Dr Flynn. She is a great surgeon, upbeat, explains everything happening & going to happen clearly, listens, and answers all my questions. Dr Flynn went the extra mile when I had insurance issues due to location. She found a workable alternative very quickly.

Dr. FLynn has been a Angel to me. She has done both right and left carpal tunnels surgeries on me. In January I had a bad fall and broke two ribs and two vertebrae and my wrist in four places.

She is wonderful. She was very practical and thorough. I liked how she explained what was being done and why. I had three fingers worked on and one was a cyst. I would definitely recommend her to anyone searching for a hand specialist.

I sustained a traumatic injury to my dominant hand in a boating accident that resulted in a partial degloving, two broken bones, missing tissue, and tendon damage. It was bad. It was not pretty. It was visib... See More
