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.

Personable and knowledgeable!! Great bedside manner and explained prior to surgery then a complication afterwards. Very attentive

My wife had surgery at mount Carmel by him for a hernia she got out of surgery and when she came to she was in terrible pain in her stomach you would think she wouldn’t be in that much pain as soon as she came to the nurses said they couldn’t do nothing for her pain she filled her script which was only enough for 3 days she called for a refill they told her to take aspirin.Nobody has called to check on her my wife is a nurse for 25years she would never abuse pain meds she works two jobs that she went right back to it 3 days after surgery I work so I can’t be there to help her now it’s seven days nobody’s. Called and I hate to see her in that much pain I wouldn’t recommend him to anyone

Dr. Brown removed my gallbladder through my belly button. Recovery was easy and I was back to exercising within 2 weeks. He was really helpful in making my decision, scheduling was easy, and living without daily pain is amazing.

I WOULD DEFINATELY RECOMMEND DR. BROWN TO ANY PATIENT NEEDING SURGERY. HE OPERATED ON ME TWICE AND I WOULD USE HIM AGAIN IF MORE SURGERY WERE REQUIRED. HE IS NOT ONLY A SKILLED SURGEON BUT IS INHERENTLY KIND AND CARING. HE HAS AN OUTSTANDING BEDSIDE MANNER AND A SENSE OF HUMOR UNCOMMON TO MOST SURGEONS. HE PROVIDES EXCELLENT FOLLOW- UP CARE AFTER SURGERY. HE PATIENTLY AND THOROUGHLY DESCRIBES THE SURGICAL PROCEDURES USED, THE CLINICAL FINDINGS AND THE CONTEMPLATED PROGNOSIS. HE'S THE BEST!
