Kristen Flemmer, MD, is a board-certified family physician providing care to families at all life stages. She had the privilege to care for the same patients for twenty-one years and found it rewarding to take care of them over a good span of their life. She finds joy in meeting her patients' needs and engaging with them for their healthcare. Dr. Flemmer has fourteen years of experience with delivering babies and caring for women and their children. In additional, she has four years of urgent care work which enhanced her skills in orthopedics, lacerations, rashes and acute infections.

Outside of work, she enjoys watching her son's football games with her husband, hiking (especially off path), gardening and getting together with family.

The services Dr. Flemmer provides include:

  • Preventive care
  • Management of acute conditions (infections, rashes, orthopedic injuries)

Practice Philosophy:

It is my hope that patients desire good health and engage in their health care. I find it always best to engage the patient in their health care and encourage lifestyle modifications. When this is not possible then a discussion regarding managing these conditions with medications is the next step. I enjoy getting to know each individual.

    I have thought a lot about this. After the last visit, same Dr, Flemmer, I really wanted to switch Dr's. At that point I decided to give her one more try. So here's my next visit. I am done with her. I don't like her, I don't like her bedside manor. I think she's rude, she doesn't have the caring touch that other Dr's I've seen have had. Even in the urgent care or any where else. I've never met a Dr like her. I'm sorry, I can't think of what to say to you guys to explain what the issue is so you know how I feel or understand

    Care provider is unable to engage in conversational talk. In the chart she listed she surveyed me about depression which she did not. Very seldom did she make eye contact
  • Dec, 4 2024
    Kristen is such a very nice person. She showed deep concern and I really like that.
  • Nov, 28 2024
    Kristin is very thorough and listens to all of my concerns. She goes above and beyond. I'm very happy that she is my doctor
  • Nov, 26 2024
    Dr. Flemmer is easy to talk to and shows great concern for me.
  • Nov, 22 2024
    She didn't even know me and I've been in before. She got me confused with someone else. She said she never took me off a certain medication, but whoever did apparently didn't chart it.
  • Nov, 6 2024
    I didn't feel very supported in my healthcare decision-making. I felt pressured. I know that she has a job to do and test to recommend, but I feel like I am an intelligent person that can choose my healthcare plan.
  • Nov, 1 2024
    Always leaves me with feeling she is in such a hurry. I had to bring up a couple things troubling me as she was ending visit. She was much more personal this visit verses my first visit with her last year.
  • Oct, 8 2024
    The doctor seemed a bit disinterested. She was nice but not very compassionate. My prior doctor was so friendly and truly seems to care.
  • Oct, 2 2024
    Cecilia, MA & Dr. Flemmer, both listened & responded to questions. Comfortable & personable
  • Sep, 9 2024
    PA & MD were very good & comprehensive in their exam & explanations. Very Good treatment.
  • Aug, 30 2024
    Dr. Flemmer was thorough, curious and explained everything very well. Wonderful personality as well. I have already urged my sister and a gal pal to switch to her.
  • Aug, 13 2024
    At least she listens to what I had to say..
  • Aug, 7 2024
    I like how she asked me about my Husband, and told me a little about her Husband, it made me feel like I was talking to a friend
  • Jul, 30 2024
    Dr. Flemmer is a very good listener and a caring provider. Thank you.
  • Jul, 17 2024
    I found Dr. Flemmer to be completely unprofessional and rude. She had no interest in letting me explain my concerns, and when I did, she made it clear that she was frustrated with me. I would have no faith in her caring for me Properly based on my experience yesterday. I would highly recommend others to not see her.
  • Jul, 15 2024
    Dr. Flemmer was very concerned, engaged in my issues & and more than informative in information & examination thank you Dr. Flemmer & Shawna (?)
  • Jul, 9 2024
    I'm switching care providers . This is the worst experience with a Dr I've ever had
  • Jul, 7 2024
    Among the primary care physicians I have associated with during several MultiCare years, Dr. Flemmer and her MA Shawna have been remarkably and unequivocally the most superior in every respect!
  • Jul, 6 2024
    I know they care enough to help me figure out what's going on with me in the visit, always has a check up if needed
  • Jun, 28 2024
    I was just there for an annual physical. So no issues
  • May, 27 2024
    Dr flemmer is extremely kind yet professional. She treats me as a person she cares about.
  • May, 16 2024
    This was my first visit with her and she was so caring.
  • Apr, 24 2024
    I saw a new side of Kristen, glad there was no facemask.she seemed much more friendly!
  • Apr, 23 2024
    Spent a good amount of time with me. Concern about making sure I follow up an a couple things.
  • Apr, 17 2024
    Provider seemed in a rush and gave me very generic treatment. She treated me like a stereotype for someone my age, not listening to how active and able I am for my age. She prescribed a new medication without explaining what it was supposed to do or if it had side-effects. My review recommended things I am already doing. She did not commend me for my good health practices, such as regular exercise or a well-rounded diet.
  • Apr, 16 2024
    Dr Flemmer was great to visit with and showed compassion for my health and concerns. She was engaging and a joy to speak with.
  • Apr, 14 2024
    She listened very carefully and very knowledgeable about the care I needed.
  • Apr, 12 2024
    I will be contacting the manager of the clinic to let them know of our terrible experience. It was totally uncalled for. We have been with multicare forever and have never been treated so poorly!
  • Apr, 12 2024
    I was a very happy patient before I was notified of a change in doctor and patient care last year. I had looked forward to this appointment. However I left so disappointed! Doctor never asked me how I felt that day instead I was given a questionnaire on how I felt in the past 2 weeks. Plus, I was told I was healthy but I am not. I am obese person. How can I be healthy? I was not asked if I had other health issues or concerns. I was told I can do a physical exam and blood work.Why? I was just told a minute ago I was healthy. Do I have to do this so the doctor has something to talk to me about? I was not explained what the bloodwork would entail either. I don't want to get billed for something that my insurance may not cover. I wish I can go back to who I was assigned before or at least give me an option who I could see going forward. If I knew it would be a consultation visit I should have been told I could have a online appointment instead.

    Dr Femmer is very caring person who listens and gives advise I'm happy with her. Women understand women.
  • Apr, 8 2024
    I've been having a difficult time and it takes me awhile to build a rapport. I was expecting to leave my appointment with the same frustration however I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome of my appointment. Dr Flemmer validated my feelings & was extremely helpful in getting me a referral. I really appreciate her
  • Mar, 27 2024
    She could be more listening and not trying to rush in and out the appointment like she didn't care
  • Mar, 26 2024
    My experience with everyone else in the clinic was wonderful however the MD I worked with spent very little time in the room with me (less than 5 minutes). She had not reviewed any information on my chart before the appt to establish a new PCP. Additionally, she did not talk about any of my history with me. I was very disappointed with this appt as I had waited several months to establish care with a new doctor after mine had left the clinic. I was looking for a new PCP before I had even left the parking lot.

    Kristen, her assistant and front staff are the greatest v

  • Mar, 20 2024
    She was very direct and factual. Fist time seeing this provider. I didn't have much of a connection with her, but I'll keep going to her to see how it goes.
  • Mar, 18 2024
    It was my first visit with Dr. Flemmer as my new primary care provider. Appreciated her going over everything with me so that she could learn nor about my medical history. I enjoyed meeting her and I am happy to have her as my primary care provider.
  • Mar, 15 2024
    Dr Flemmer did an excellent job explaining lab results and answering question.
  • Mar, 13 2024
