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.

Dr. David Brown is professional.
Dr. Brown explained thoroughly my X-ray and presented option. He was competent and professional.

My initial greeting from the reception staff was exceptional. The assistant and the X-Ray Tech were extremely friendly, thorough, and professional while performing their tasks. I can’t say enough about Dr. Brown! He is definitely one of the most humble doctors I’ve ever encountered! He was very familiar with my situation. He addressed my concerns with utmost patience and I sensed his concern about my well being.

Does not pay attention to past medical history.
3 years ago, my husband had been in the hospital after an infection in his knee caused him to go septic and then into DIC. 2 weeks after he was released from the hospital, his shoulder had gotten extremely swollen. We were seen by Dr Brown who looked at it and encouraged us to wait over night and go to the ER the next day if my husband was still having issues. He literally had my husbands history in front of him, as well as us explaining it to him but he said we should wait over night and then go. Thankfully we did not listen to him and went ahead to the ER where my husband had two emergency surgeries that night to wash infection out of his shoulder and ankle. Had we waited overnight, like Dr. Brown suggested, it could have cost my husband his life. I do NOT recommend Dr. Brown at all and will never have anyone in my family seen by him again.

Experience with my daughter
We were very pleased with the visit with the office staff as well as the Dr. He had first hand knowledge and exactly what course of action to take . Asked my daughter a number of questions and made her feel comfort during her visit . The office is very well organized and everyone is in the same page; so you’re not left wondering if you have any questions .

Outstanding Care
I took the first available appointment with any doctor and ended up with Dr Brown. His assistant took my info, including asking relevant questions. Dr Brown came into the exam room fully apprised of the situation. He did a thorough exam, asked good questions, and laid out a clear plan of treatment that has worked wonderfully. A very impressive physician indeed.
