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.

Dr Brown is a wonderful doctor
I love Weill Cornell too. They are a well oiled machine. Dr Brown is a knowledgeable, lovely, compassionate doctor with a wonderful staff that works well together.

My Favorite Physician
I've been a patient of Dr. Brown for years, both @ Columbia Presbyterian and now Weil-Cornell. I have total confidence in him, and in my treatment plan. I feel he's thorough, communicates in a way I understand, and is personable. I feel he cares.

Astounding patent care
I came in to get elevated liver enzymes checked out. I was extremely pleased with Dr. Brown, from his clear deep expertise to his compassionate bedside manner. I could tell immediately that I was in capable hands. He was thorough, accommodating, and I feel confident in his advice and treatment plan.

The Best
Dr. Brown is an amazing doctor. I have an autoimmune liver disease so I have been seeing him off and on for over 15 years. He is so knowledgeable and thorough. He never rushes and always takes the time to make sure I understand what is happening with my liver and what the next steps should be. I feel very fortunate that my NJ gastroenterologist referred me to Dr. Brown all those years ago.

Compassionate, brilliant, extremely well-mannered
Telehealth
Unlike many 'big' Doctors, Dr. Brown excelled in listening, explaining and patiently answering any and all concerns. Also quite obvious is that Dr. Brown is extremely intelligent, not afraid to think outside the box and best of all has no problem explaining - in simple, logical, terms -why he came to his diagnosis.

I was fortunate to have my hepatologist refer me to Dr. Robert Brown. My liver enzymes were high and, with his diagnosis and treatment of my rare autoimmune hepatitis, I no longer have it. His visits were focused on me, the patient. He listened and considered my total health. Dr. Brown was always upbeat, professional and made me feel like we could stay on top of my illness. We did. A lucky-to-have doctor.

Best Dr ever. Dr Brown
Hello,Dr Brown is the best Liver Dr on the planet as far as i'm concerned. I saw 5 or 6 Doctors before him, and he was the only one who figured out what was wrong. I have been getting healthier ever since.I also want to give Gloria, his NP her props. She ALWAYS gets back to me promptly and always goes the extra mile as far as my health is concerned. She is like a daughter to me. I will not trade these two wonderful people for any other doctor or NP.Thank youKathy McLean

A very special physician
Dr.Brown is an extraordinary physician and a very special human being. I fly from Miami to NY to be in his care. I am not confident that anyone else could manage my liver disease as successfully or make me feel more at ease. I have a great deal of gratitude for this man.
