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.

Seamless Procedure
My wife had three milar cysts to be removed. Dr. Brand examined her, told her what needed to be done, offered local or general anesthesia, explained how pain management would be handled and what her results should be. He said pain usually was minimal, but would be handled with an Rx if she desired. My duties to care for her were thoroughly explained and helpful suggestions were offered as well. My wife had an amazing experience and commented, "If I had known this would have been this easy, I wouldn't have put it off for a year!" The prescription was not needed - over the counter meds did the job of pain relief - minimal as it was. Her hair has been coming back more quickly than we imagined and we have nothing but appreciation for a job well done by Dr. Brand and his team!

Excellent surgeon
Dr. Brand and his staff provided the highest level of care during my recent hernia surgery. They were very professional as well as being caring and efficient. Dr. Brand listened to my needs and concerns. He is an excellent surgeon, and we highly recommend him and the Thomas Johnson Surgical Center.

Outpatient procedure to remove a cyst. Excellent.
Dr. Brand and his staff were helpful and cared about my problem. They scheduled a surgery day for an in-office procedure to remove a cyst that I had for over 10 years. The surgery was painless, took about 20 minutes, and I drove home afterwards. They sent the cyst out for biopsy just to be sure. Ten days later, I got the stitches removed and the biopsy results were negative (benign. Yay!). The whole staff was knowledgeable, experienced and caring. Just what I needed.

Thankful
Dr. Brand saw me on a referral from my dermatologist. Biopsy came back melanoma and surgery was scheduled - from the first visit - the surgery - to recently my last visit, Dr. Brand is very kind, thorough in explaining every detail and an excellent surgeon. Because of him, the melanoma was eradicated and I need no other treatments. I would highly recommend he and the Foris Surgical Group.

I had an outpatient surgery that went very well. No pain. I did not have to wait a long time. Dr. Brand explained the process very well so there were no surprises. The staff was also very helpful and friendly. I would definitely use him again and recommend him to family and friends.
