Welcome to Flechas Family Practice

He also specializes in Iodine Therapy for Hypothyroidism and Fibrocystic Breast Disease.

Dr. Flechas was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, majored in Physics at Southern Missionary College in Tennessee, and achieved his Doctorate in Medicine in 1977 and Masters in Public Health in 1979 from Loma Linda University in California.

He is licensed to practice in North Carolina. He has his Boards in Family Practice by the American Board of Family Practice, and is a member of the New York Academy of Sciences and the American College of Nutrition.

Dr. Flechas is a nationally known speaker on the diagnosis and successful treatment of Fibromyalgia, one of the 10 most frequently misdiagnosed syndromes in North America today. Dr. Flechas is considered to have broken a paradigm in effectively treating Fibromyalgia pain without the use of anti-depressant, anti-inflammatory, or narcotic medications. His treatment involves the use of Nitroglycerine to increase Nitric Oxide, a natural pain killer found in the body. He has recently found the use of essential oils from plants to decrease the pain of FMS.
