DR. LEO J. FLANAGAN

 

             Dr. Leo J. Flanagan, one of the county’s well-known physicians and surgeons, is located in South San Francisco where he has been practicing for the past year.  Before moving into this county Dr. Flanagan had a large practice in San Francisco.

             Dr. Flanagan is another of the young professional men who has been attracted to San Mateo County by the wonderful opportunities that the future holds.  He sees a great period of growth and prosperity ahead for South San Francisco and his confidence in this era of development was such that he gave up a flourishing practice in San Francisco to come into this territory comparatively unknown and establish himself.

             Dr. Flanagan is a native of California.  He was born at Napa on August 6, 1885 where he took the first steps in preparation for his professional career.  After graduating from Santa Clara College Dr. Flanagan finished the medical course at Johnstown University at Washington, D.C.  For several years he was resident physician at St. Mary’s Hospital and Mary’s Help Hospital in San Francisco and was also with the San Francisco emergency service.

             Dr. Flanagan has many fraternal connections.  He is a member of the Knights of Columbus, the Eagles, the Redmen and the Foresters.  He was married in Portland in 1913.
