Dr. Barrett Brown, MD

I saw Dr Brown for severe pain under my shoulder blade, radiating to my finger tips. My shoulder had dropped more than an inch. This was obvious when looking at my shoulders I had X-rays of my shoulder. Dr Brown walked into the room and told me my shoulder was fine according to X-ray. He had no interest in talking to me about the problem. He never even addressed the fact that my shoulder had dropped. I was dismissed because the X-ray said I was fine. I asked about the shoulder drop again and was again told it was fine. No doctor should go by X-Ray without extensively talking to a patient. He may be a wonderful surgeon but not one I would ever recommend due to poor communication and listening.

All of his staff. All of the office is great Orthopedic nurses, tec.

Did an ACL reconstruction and the healing went very well. I’m preparing for shoulder work and will ask to. One back to him.

Please be very specific with this doctor about your surgery and what come up afterwards. Make sure you know he don't give no pain medicines before you agree to hire him. He may be a good surgeon but his personality is like passive aggressive or something and he don't got no communication skills at all. Most of all just remember that if you ever had surgery and that doctor gave you pain medicine like a normal doctor would, don't expect that to happen here. It's almost like he's got into to trouble writing pain orders in the past and now he won't given any pain medicine to anybody. But the worst part is that none of them will answer you straight when you ask a question. His nurse Lacy is the same way. This has been a sad experience and I'm happy I won't have to go to his office anymore. I got stuck because of my insurance but if I every have anymore knee issues I will look for help somewhere's else to get some normal care from a normal doctor.

He has cared for me for about 3 years to help me try to avoid surgery but my shoulder was worn out so cortisone quit working. I had surgery to replace my shoulder9/11/20 and all has gone well with PT etc though as I was told to expect it has been painful. Dr Brown is gentle and caring. I expect to have full recovery. The hospital was very good.

Got an appointment and had an MRI same afternoon. Two days later he took care of fluid in my knee and gave me steroid injection. Very thorough, explained everything and was patient in calming my nerves. Highly recommend!!!!! His PA Emily was awesome too!!! Thankful for the ease in getting in and getting fixed!

So cold in waiting room, had to wait nearly 3 hours while he went to long lunch.

Saw someone else within the ortho-group who decided I should see Dr Brown instead. So they squeezed me in. I have to take that into account for my sitting in the waiting area to see him for over two hours. I didn't inquire of the wait time, but staff wasn't proactive on the matter either. If I'd had an appointment, I'm hoping I would have been seen in a timely manner. The actual exam room is dreadfully cold. All that said, Dr Brown was fabulous. He communicates well at my level.

Grade 5 AC joint separation, + rotator cuff damage-snowboarding. Currently at the 6 week mark after surgery. Dr. Brown and his staff have been absolutely phenomenal -responsive to scheduling needs -multiple treatment options w/ pros and cons of each -technical expertise, repair feels great -Emily, his PA, called me back within minutes for follow up questions -Dr. Brown patiently answered every question I had in every meeting. No urgency to push you out the door Keep up the great work, Thank You!

Dr. Brown is an amazing person and doctor. I recently heard about his father’s passing and wanted to send him my condolences. Monica Thornhill Jackson

I would recommend Dr.Brown without hesitatio he is an excellent doctor & an great person all the way round. Thanks doc you're the best!

As a retired nurse, I was definite about wanting Fondren Orthopedics when my knee pain worsened. I was referred to Dr Brown and thought his reasoning for my treatment plan fit with my age and activity level. A year later I had minor knee surgery by him from which I recovered easily due to I think his plan to strengthen the surrounding muscles first.

Dr Brown has been taking care of me for yrs. My knees are bad. He has always been very nice answered any questions I might have. He gives me shots in knees. I don't mind it at all, believe me some Dr's are not so talented at giving steroid shots! When I need to see another specialist he recommend someone. I think he is a wonderful doctor.i highly recommend him.
