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.

Does NOT take ANY insurance at all!
Does NOT take ANY insurance at all! All patient pay. I was told that first appointment is at least $1,000 and follow ups are around half of that but depending.

Doesn't accept insurance, would not quote fee
Woman who answered his phone said that they wouldn't take any insurance. When I asked her what the fee would be, she put me on hold for a long time. After picking up the phone I asked what his fee would be, she said she didn't know. Why is this doctor online if he is not taking patients?

I wish every practice was run like this one. The interest that Dr Brown shows in helping you with your problem is very reassuring. You never feel like he is rushing to get through the day. He genuinely wants to help you. My primary care physician even commented on the extreme thoroughness of Dr Brown's notes, said he'd never seen anything like it.

Excellent doctor. Wish every practitioner was this amazing. His staff was super helpful and went out of their way. The doctor is excellent. He spends a lot of time understanding and explaining and educating. We have seen ALOT of doctors because my daughter is chronically ill and in fact, scares many doctors away because she is complex. Dr. Brown is the kind of doctor we need in our arsenal..awesome, awesome doctor.

Dr Brown was the 5th doctor I visited in trying to find a reason for my feeling of ill health. The others brushed me aside. Said I was old, said I was depressed. I am 6 weeks into Dr Brown's treatment and I feel like a new person. I am so glad I found Dr Brown. i feel like I have my life back.

An expert in his area, Dr. Brown is very thorough in his examination, generous in his time, understands and listens well to my needs. He does not rush through his diagnosis. Rather, he shares how he comes up with the conclusion, why he recommends certain treatment or medication. He often offers options and arms you with knowledge to help you make an informed decision. His office staff are super nice and helpful, which is a plus.
