Michael P. Flanagan, Ph.D., M.S., PA-C joined our practice in July 2007 during a career change that
brought him from the laboratory bench into clinical practice. Mike received his doctoral degree in
immunology from Iowa State University and for the next 16 years he conducted research and published
scientific papers in the fields of allergy and immunology. In his previous position as Director of
Research for Allergenics, Inc., he led a team of scientists developing a novel approach to allergen
immunotherapy. As a result of his involvement in clinical trials with that company, Mike found himself
being called toward patient care. At the age of 46, he returned to the classroom and received his
Master of Science in Medicine from Western Michigan University’s Physician Assistant program.
Mike brings his academic background with him into the exam room where he takes great pleasure in
educating patients about how their immune system functions and about the role it plays in regards to
their condition.
Mike’s wife has a background in Art/Art History and he says that she balances out his “geeky scientist”
personality. Together they like to travel within the U.S. and abroad where they enjoy experiencing the
art, food and culture of the region.
