Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

My husband and I have seen Dr. Brown for a number of years. Doctor is very personable. She remembers our history whether we've seen her within months, or, a year between appointments. My husband is having surgery in June so I will submit an update several weeks out from the procedure. We always enjoy talking to Zina, Dr Brown's assistant. We never feel rushed when we are there.

Great podiatrist
She is personable, listens to you, and I love her recommendations, from foot inserts to fungal infections. Appointments are usually on time, easy to schedule, and I never feel rushed.
