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.

He is the Best Doctor iv known.

I was searching for a new GP. I did not decide to retain Dr. Brown after my first visit because he spent most of the visit talking about time travel, teleportation, and how Barack Obama was the first man to walk on the surface of Mars. I am sadly not even joking.

He wouldn't even write a prescription for Plavix after my husband had a stroke. He said it was because he didn't see his zMRI. I think he could have requested a copy from the hospital.

This Dr does not evaluate his patients thoroughly. I called in a concern of a family member and Darcy stated that there was nothing she could do with my information. Even though I stated this family member could have a heart attack based off the medication the DR gave them. This concern does not break the HIPAA laws. They do not know their laws in there, as well as the misdiagnosis. This office could be subject to a medication malpractice claim due to their negligence.

I scheduled an appointment at Dr. Brown's office due to a sharp pain in my back. They gladly took my information but neglected to tell me they charge $202.00 just for showing up. Dr. Brown spent less than 15 minutes with me. A nurse took my blood pressure then I sat waiting for almost 20 minutes. Dr. Brown came in, listened to my heart, told another nurse to take a chest X-Ray and left. He looked at the X-Ray and said my pain was from work, it was not. I have been doing the same job for many yea

Dr. Brown is probably one of the best doctors I have ever had. He doesn't just diagnose you he educates you as well. He will give me books to read about whatever it is he believes I have. He suggests natural remedies as well. He has used some of the medication he prescribed for me and it worked like a charm. He sees me and my husband and offers advice and encouragement.
