About The Practice
At Naples Regenerative Institute, double board-certified pain management specialist and leading regenerative orthopedic medicine physician Glenn Flanagan, MD, offers comprehensive treatments and cutting-edge care in Naples, Florida.
If you’re looking for a caring and thoughtful physician who spends time listening to each patient at every visit to organize a customized and individualized plan, look no further. Whether you have neck pain, back pain, or painful joints, rest assured, the team is here to help.
In July 2019, Dr. Flanagan opened Naples Regenerative Institute, pledging to offer his patients an integrative blend of traditional pain management treatments and state-of-the-art orthobiologic injections such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell treatments. He trained with worldwide leaders in his field and is one of few physicians in the world trained and certified to provide regenerative treatments for the entire scope of orthopedics.
Dr. Flanagan was born and raised in Long Island, New York, and went to Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, for college. He met his wife, Phuong, at St. George's Medical School on the sunny beaches of Grenada. He then completed his residency in anesthesiology and a fellowship in non-surgical spine and joint treatments at Syracuse University in Upstate New York, while his wife completed her residency in internal medicine at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, California. Shortly after completing all of their training, they moved to Naples, Florida, to begin practicing as physicians.
Over the years, Dr. Flanagan has learned a lot about nutrition and exercise in an effort to help patients. These have become hobbies and are a huge part of patient education in his practice. A thorough evaluation of your spine and joint problems allows Dr. Flanagan to improve outcomes by coordinating care for his patients from head to toe.
Aside from medicine, Dr. Flanagan has always loved playing sports. In his spare time, he still plays some golf, basketball, and softball.
