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.

Rude and ignorant
He will get openly antagonistic if you try to take any agency in your health while using the very basics of web md for any diagnosis. I have lived all across the country and have never seen a doctor with worse bed side manner. Smug with zero right to be. You will wait 45 minutes after your appointment time for a 5 minute “assessment” where he recommends things like acupuncture. I cannot recommend against this man enough. What you see on the outside is exactly what you get from him.

First time visit
After searching in the area for a new family doctor we decided to try Dr. Brown, we had some friends that have seen him and they liked him. The visit was pleasant and we were surprised to get in with him so quickly. He seems to really care and take his time with his patients and we look forward to his care when we need it.

I highly recommend Dr. Brown! He recently cared for my elderly father, who has eschewed medical care for years, and was a reluctant, albeit very ill patient. Dr. Brown was a consummate professional, providing appropriate and needed care while considering my father's wishes for minimal intervention. He was able to make my father feel at ease. As an erstwhile care provider myself, I look for excellence when I seek medical care for myself or family members, and Dr. Brown exceeded my expectations!

I had come in due to severe lower abdominal pain a couple of days earlier. Although the resolution was not something his office could heal, he immediately recognized I needed quick results and put together a team of doctor's and services so I could get the care I needed. He didn't "try" to find the solution, he made sure the exact care needed was made available to me quickly.

Mandy in Kansas City – Apr 28, 2019
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Brown?
He was very brief with me. He assumed I was healthy(diet and exercise) because of my age. He did not spend time to get to know me or my issues. He just ran down the list of “protocols” and I was out the door. He didn’t want to do any lab work on me even though I was there for a physical so I had to request it. He was nice but I didn’t come for his personality but for his knowledge and how he can help me in achieving a healthy lifestyle and to help me be healthy.

If you are a women, I would not go to him. My daughter tried to tell him about her heavy, very painful periods and all he said was that he was sorry they were like that. We got a second opinion and found out she has a large cist on one of her ovaries that needs monitoring. He hurries through patients and really doesn't seem to care.
