Dr. Flanigan's Letter to Patients

October 28, 2025

Dear Patients,

Thank you for welcoming Dr. Caitlin Simpson to GVCC! For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of meeting her yet, let me introduce her! Dr. Simpson is a graduate of NYCC and has been practicing in Brighton for the past five years. She provides care for patients of all ages with musculoskeletal concerns- including back, neck, headache, hip, shoulder, and knee issues. She also has specialized training in caring for pregnant patients, infants, and young children. In her approach to healing, Dr. Simpson incorporates many manipulation techniques, exercises, soft tissue techniques, and cupping to support recovery and overall wellness.

Her family ties bring her back home- her husband is from Livonia, and together they are excited to raise their daughter in this community.

Looking ahead, Dr. Simpson will become the primary owner and provider at GVCC in 2026, as I step back to part-time hours (Monday & Friday mornings). It has been the greatest blessing to care for you and your families for the past 35 years. I know Dr. Simpson will continue the tradition of compassionate, patient-centered care that has always made GVCC a special place of healing.

I encourage you to make an appointment with Dr. Simpson so we can review your records together and ensure a smooth transition for you.

While I will miss being with you full-time, I am grateful that I can continue to see some of you part-time and embrace this new chapter with my grandchildren and family.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to be part of your lives and for trusting me with your care all these years. I am confident you will find warmth, skill and dedication in Dr. Simpson, and I look forward to watching her serve this community with the same passion and commitment that has defined GVCC.

With gratitude,

Charmagne M Flanigan, D.C.
