Dr. Flores began his medical journey as a Naturopathic Doctor. As a Naturopath, he quickly understood the power of regenerative medicine and integrated this into his practice after training with Dr. Noel Peterson in 2010.

As a Board Certified Physiatrist, Dr. Flores specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and rehabilitation of people disabled by disease, disorder, or injury. In many medical systems, Physiatrists are considered to be the non-surgical Pain & Spine Specialists.
At ORM, Dr. Flores works extensively with patients suffering from acute and chronic pain conditions such as spine pain and sports injuries. His practice also includes patients with disabling conditions such as brain injury, long-covid, and hypermobility disorders.
Dr. Flores utilizes interventional procedures such as regenerative therapies, steroid injections (when appropriate), as well as treatments that target the nervous system including stellate ganglion blocks and ketamine therapy.
Throughout his tenure, Dr. Flores has worked with a broad range of patients within the academic institutions of Loma Linda University, University of Washington, University of California Irvine, and the University of Utah. He has also worked extensively in large health care systems including Providence Health, Kaiser Health, and the Veteran Affairs Health Systems.
