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.

Dr Brown is very thorough and tells you like it is, which is what I love about him. He explains after I have my breathing test for my disease I have in my lungs good or bad and I make the best of it. I can't complain, because actually I shouldn't be here telling you what a fantastic doctor he is!! I was told I have 3-5 yrs. to live and I'm in my 6th yr. and breathing just fine. So, I'm going to get out of here and run before things change!! Hi Dr. B You're the best! Marion Finnegan

Thorough Care-Attentive to Needs
Dr. Brown took the time to explain my condition and test results thoroughly. He also listened to my concerns and did his very best to find a solution that would work for me and was best for my care. He was very knowledgeable. throughout the entire visit.

Find a different doctor!!!
While I am certain this man is smart and well educated, he lacks other characteristics of a good doctor. Such as compassion, bed side manor, and active listening skills. He is a conversational narcissist, which is to say he wants to do all the talking and will not listen to questions asked by the patient or the family even when one of the family is a licensed provider them selves. He refused to talk about optional treatments when asked. There is no being involved in your own healthcare with this man. Its his way or the highway, which he has demonstrated with another family member he treated that asked about a different medication. He threw his hands up and said "I have nothing else for you." When he steps out of the hospital room and a nurse ask how that went his reply is "Just give me a hammer." I could continue, but unfortunately limited by character count. In short now I would not take my dog to see this "Doctor" and would not recommend you or your loved ones see him either.

Mr. Brown ( I refuse to refer to him as a doctor) told me I had WEGENER'S GRANULOMATOSIS and that I needed to have a lung biopsy. He told me without aggressive treatment I may only have 6 months to live. He wanted to open my chest to do the biopsy and wanted to start me on Chemo. I left and went to John Hopkins and it saved my life! I HAD PNEUMONIA!!! He couldn't tell the difference between pneumonia and a more fatal illness he should lose his medical license! DON'T GO TO HIM!!!
