We didn't find recent reviews mentioning Dr. Flanagan by name yet, so here are real patient stories about our practice.

“

Had all four wisdom teeth surgically extracted with Dr. Wirey, and he and his team did an excellent job. Everything from the IV to anesthesia went smoothly. The process was painless, and recovery was very smooth. I followed his advice to extract all four at once and don't regret it at all. I was referred by a friend and heard great things about the other dentists as well. I highly recommend!

Oral Surgeons of Indiana went above and beyond for my family. My father was in significant pain and needed extractions, and the team was kind, responsive, and quick to get him in. We are grateful for the care he received.
