We adore Dr. Flask! She's a wonderful person and is great at checking into any problems and helping us figure out how to support the girls' growth. We are blessed to not have serious medical problems, but Dr. Flask would absolutely be the person we would want by our side if we were navigating serious decisions.

I continue to be happy with Dr. Flask. However, she had a resident with her that day and her bedside manner was not the best. I was concerned going into this appointment for some weight gain which was confirmed with vitals and hoping to discuss this with the provider. When the resident pulled up her growth chart, she commented "what happened here? Was this because of all the staying in?" I was taken aback by how abrupt she was and in front of my daughter and just feel the whole situation could have been handled better.
