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.

Terrible Incompetent Staff
(3-9-23) I have been trying to get Dr. Brown's office staff to send a referral to the same type of specialist for months. I met with the doctor in January and his staff was supposed to send a referral out for me to a specialist I needed. -- After not hearing anything from his office, I called the office on Jan 24. I also provided them with the correct FAX number to the specialist's office. They told me they would FAX the referral the same day. February 23rd rolls around (one month later) and I called the specialist's office and they told me they had never received any kind of referral from Dr. Brown's staff. Sp I had to call Dr. Brown's staff again, and give them the FAX number AGAIN... 2 weeks later and I still have not heard from the specialist. -- Pardon me, but Dr. Brown is the captain of the ship. New doc time. I cannot trust his staff has my best interests in mind. It is not the first time this staff has dropped the ball about referrals. It will be the last ... Go somewhere else

Not a good experience
Talked down to me what I had to say meant nothing. It showed for some reason he disliked me. Not friendly or professional in any stretch of the imagination.

Dr was very laid back and I felt that I could have a great conversation with him. He established rapport quickly with me. Being a woman and not enjoying going to the doctor, let alone a male doctor, I got the immediate impression that he was very happy and willing to help and listen without judgment or rash decision on my health. I know I’ve been to plenty of male doctors that rush and give their opinion fast without listening and he’s very much the opposite. Nice change to those I’ve been working with in my past. Great doctor and very professional and open to working with my needs.
