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.

Blindsided by a derisive comment
I trusted Dr. Brown for over twenty years to care for me - she delivered my three children and had always been attentive and capable. My last visit was so bad, I haven't gone back. I am overweight - I know it - and her tone became derisive and mean when she said 'Are you active at all? I mean, do you ever get up?' and then 'well, it's all downhill from here.' I felt humiliated and hurt, and it's taken me three years to make an appointment with another doctor. I trusted her - I only saw her once per year - and I got blindsided by a flippant, derisive remark. Maybe she was just having a bad day, or trying some 'tough love' but it really hurt and still does. I'm happy to say I went to a new doctor today and had a great experience.

After an awful experience at UAB, we moved to Dr. Brown in 2013 at 12 weeks and were blessed to end up with Dr. Brown. Never has she rushed us or hesitated to take the time to answer any of our questions. Both, and soon all three, of our kids will have been delivered by Sparks and Favor, two by Dr. Brown and one by Dr. Favor. Would not hesitate to refer anyone to Dr. Brown (or Dr. Favor). Love them!

I chose Dr. Brown as my OB and I couldn't be any happier with her. She has been so wonderful in taking care of me and making sure my little girl is as healthy as she can be. I recommend her to everyone! She takes the time to listen and answer any questions I have, as well as suggest what I could do to make my pregnancy a little easier. She is just fabulous!

She has got to be the rudest Dr I have ever met! Tried to complement her for taking care of my daughter and she acted as if I didn't exist! Same response when I tried to ask questions abt my daughter with my daughter sitting there!
