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.

Above and beyond excellent Dr.

He handled checking my stoma and put my new bag on. He was gentle and answered my questions and even came out to waiting room because I forgot to ask about my hernia. U would recommend Dr. Brown to anyone needing a surgeon. And his staff are very pleasant.

Amazing!
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Brown for 2 years due to bouts of severe diverticulitis. I finally had a colon resection 2 months ago. Dr. Brown IMO is one of a kind. He’s attentive, kind, and answers ALL your questions no matter how silly you may think they are. My surgery went better than I expected…I wish I had done it sooner. I seriously can’t say enough kind words about this man. I was petrified having this surgery and he made me feel like it was a walk in the park…and it was. I would recommend him to anyone that has problems such as mine. Thank you Dr.Brown…you’re my hero.

Dr. Brown truly cares about his patients. He listens to the patient and their family. He is willing to try the outrageous to give the patient a chance - but he is completely honest about what the possible and likely results are. He is well able to explain complex medical procedures in layman's terms and will spend the time until you understand

From the moment I started to talk he said he had a surgery and needed me to be quick as he was late, he came late to this appt at888 main St Wakefield and after me he had another patient He wasn't honest he just didn't want to hear my complaints He is a good surgeon no doubt but his people skills have gone way down maybe it's because he got promoted He just had his scribe in the office who was more like his body guard I've reached out to him since he won't take my calls so when I tried to make an appt to meet his boss they disconnected me from service with tufts health care center Shamefully on them , I am a sick man and their biggest worry having to answer question Terrible terrible

If there were 10 stars Dr. Brown would deserve them. He has a wonderful bedside manner so kind caring & considerate of his patients. He performed my sort of complex surgery & everything went well. I must also compliment his awesome staff Julie & Alicia are both very informative! Highly recommend Dr Brown. ??

Dr. Brown is so friendly and professional. He has performed surgery on my mom 3 times, twice at Lawrence Memorial hospital and once at Melrose Wakefield hospital. He called me 2 days before her surgery. Then he called me to inform me that her surgery was completed. He is an excellent surgeon and his staff are first rate.
