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.

I love her. She saved my mom’s life. Great doctor

Great Surgeon
Very good surgeon she saw that I had a diseased colon, and it needed to be taken out. After it was out and a J pouch made, they found 3 different stages of aggressive cancers that was under the layer of where the colonoscopy didn't detect. She saved my life 10 years ago. Still free of cancer to this day.

Cancer NOT hemorrhoid she misdiagnosed me
Cancer Mass in my rectum not a Hemorrhoid as she diagnosed me of having and she attempted to put a rubber band on a 2.5 inch mass where I almost fainted Horrific experience. The office was dark and dirty gloomy and old. Having a rubber band accidentally put on a CANCER MASS was the worse scary feeling I have ever had in my life.

Staff is completely unprofessional and unreliable in fulfilling basic office tasks like transferring a call, leaving a message for the doctor, leading you to the correct responsible party like an assistant who needs to contact back a pharmacy. I have never experienced such disappointment and frustration. Doctor did not even visit me the first time I had an appointment. Prescribed medication that bounced back from the pharmacy because not covered by insurance and doctor never got back to the pharmacy to ensure receipt of a similar medication covered by my insurance. Despite 2 months of consecutive calls to the office talking to staff and leaving Dr.'s assistant voice messages to please get back to the pharmacy or return my call, I was never able to talk to anyone nor was I able to receive a medication. Truly unacceptable and unbelievable service! I would definitely not recommend neither the doctor, the facility, or the entire staff.

Dr. Browder is a life savor!
Dr. Browder changed my life forever and gave me a better quality of life. I was 17 and suffering severely from Ulcerative Colitis. Meeting Dr. Browder for the first time was intimidating, especially since she didn't sugarcoat anything. She told my parents and me everything about my procedure and the healing part in detail without holding back. Honestly, this was very intimidating and scary to hear as a 17-year-old but Dr. Browder wasn't pressuring me or my parents to make any decisions, she genuinely just wanted to help my situation. After a month or so of thinking everything over, I decided to book the huge procedure of getting a total colectomy. I see why other people on here are writing bad reviews about Dr. Browder about her being cold, but she told me the exact truth even if I didn't want to hear it. I probably didn't like it at the time but I'm grateful she told me the truth instead of me being surprised. While healing Browder checked on me multiple times even on her off time.

Saved Husband’s Life
Dr Browder is amazing and she saved my husband’s life. He had the absolute worst case of internal hemorrhoids anyone had ever seen, due to complications from that stemmed from a terrible car accident. She surgically fixed him when no one even knew if it was possible. We owe her our reverence for sure, she is indispensable! Thank you so much Dr Browder.

My mom had ovarian cancer and against my wishes went to Dr Browder. One time she went in for a chemo treatment and the meds caused my mom to seizure. They called the ambulance and Dr Browder couldn’t be bothered to even see if my mom was ok. My mom died soon after.

I would NOT recommend Dr. Browder. She is very cold and after a test I had she came in the room and said all I can offer you is a colostomy. There was no discussion as to what else could be done before such a drastic solution. There are too many good doctors available in this field, Dr. Zhang is one that I would recommend. Please look him up and read reviews for him, you would be doing yourself a favor.

DR BROWDER IS AN AMAZING SURGEON WHO GENIUNELLY CARES FOR HER PATIENTS. I RECENTLY HAD A ISSUE WITH ANOTHER SURGEON WHO WANTED TO OPEN UP MY BOYFRIEND FOR A SMALL BOWEL OBSTRUCTION AND REFUSED TO OFFER A LAPRASCOPIC PROCEDURE. I CONTACTED DR BROWDER WHO RESPONDED IMMEDIATELY AND TOOK HIM TO SURGERY WITH A 45 MIIN LAPRASCOPIC PROCEDURE TO FIX THE PROBLEM.. HOME THE NEXT DAY.. NO PAIN.AWESOME! SHE IS SWEET AND DOWN TO EARTH AND VERY EASY TO TALK TOO.. I GIVEN HER A TEN.

Twice waited 3 hours past my appointment time to see Dr. Browder. Day of surgery she was 1 1/2 hours late and didn’t tell me post-op what she found or what was done. Voice messages left are never returned. Office decor and furnishings are dated (1980s), worn, and need renovating. Sadly, my family doc who referred me said all colorectal surgeons and their offices in Vegas are similarly unresponsive and untimely due to few colorectal surgeons in this area and too many patients.

This doctor does not care about you. She is cold and dry. I wish they had a class about bedside manner that she could take because she is lacking human emotion and sympathy. I got zero information and conflicting answers from her and her staff. Here I am 6 weeks after my procedure in pain everyday and I can't even get a call back after a week of calling everyday begging to speak to only a nurse for some answers and nothing. Exam rooms are dirty with drops of blood everywhere.

I wish I could review Dr. Browder , but I could not get past the unprofessional office staff, I was asking one of the front staff about the forms and the security of the information, another front staff person holding a container of food jumped in and told me there were other doctors and I could go see them. this took a while because she was more concerned with eating than dealing with my concerns. Dr Browder had been recommended , but that front staff lost her credibility and trust

During our initial office visit, Dr. Browder appeared very knowledgeable and confident. The day of the surgery, she was like a totally different person. She practically cowered in the corner of the pre-op room while I asked her questions. Her voice was quiet and she appeared nervous or even frightened. She assured me that I should be healed in 5-7 days; this was not the case and it took much research on my part to find that this type of surgery takes 1-2 MONTHS for recovery, NOT 1-2 weeks!
