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 had a lot of questions about my diagnosis and prognosis. After completing a thorough exam, Dr Brownlow sat with me and answered all of my questions. I feel so much better understanding my diagnosis and treatment plan!

Dr. Brownlow has built the top notch retinal service in Wilmington. In more recent time, two more Dr. have been added. I've had the privilege of the services of all three. I totally recommend all three.

We would most definitely refer family and friends to Dr. Brownlow to family and friends. My husband sees him regularily and each visit is excellent. He is very personable, respectful, and gives the patient the time he needs to ask questions, etc.

The worst physician experience of my life . Was referred by another eye doctor. He must have determined today 10 days after my referral I needed another kind of eye doctor. Never even saw him. Sent a receptionist to tell me to "go to the hospital or somewhere else". I left in tears not knowing what to do. I still don't know. I have insurance. I paid. Ive never been treated so unprofessionally in my life by a doctor office. Would never recommend.

He is friendly and upbeat about the treatment. He does the injections with efficiency and no pain. I've been to two other retina specialists and the shots he has given me rank at the very top as far as lack of pain, watering, etc. He makes it seem so easy and yet it works so well.
