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.

Today my son was released after breaking his leg and developing Compartment Syndrome on January 8th of this year. If it wasn't for Dr. Browns experience and supervision my son would have not had such a positive outcome. Dr. Brown saved his leg and over the course of the last 11 1/2 months I have seen the best a practice can offer. During our countless visits to the see Dr. Brown and the great physical therapy staff we experienced the best in professionalism, courtesy and care. Thank you all!

Dr. Brown has treated my son on several occasions. He has always been wonderful and catches things that other doctors miss. There is no one else I would take my children to.

Dr Brown may be a good dr but is not compationate toward injured patients at all. The office in Munster is terrible. We were force to pay complete $$$ fees up front even though we have insurance and we're only supposed to pay copay. We were charged $178 for an aircast boot that cost $82 on Amazon. We were charged to go get the boot and the install (put on) the boot. not given a statement for what we paid at time of visit, not given any paperwork from the visit either. Office staff is rude!

Dr. was condescending to myself and my child. Did not explain anything. Child was fitted with a cast that didn't fit well. Was discussing other patients while in the room with us, and even went as far as putting another child's x-ray up on our screen. Not going back. Instead of buyer beware, patient beware.

The team was Very nice. However, I was not impressed with the Dr. He had no bed side manner came in looked at X-ray. Did not even introduce himself. Explain his thoughts on my child's situation nothing! Just looked at x ray and asked some one to cast it. And we had to wait an hour in the waiting room after paperwork. No apologies it was as of that was the norm. Hopefully, all goes well when the splint comes off and hopefully this does not happen again. In the event it does we will go elsewhere.

Cold, argumentative, belittling to myself and my child. Gave a correct diagnosis with an incorrect treatment plan. Recommended surgery for my toddler when that should not be recommended until the age of 13. I left in tears and had to find another Dr to help us. Thankfully one was found and my child is doing much better. I would not recommend Dr Brown to anyone.
