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.

Amazing
Dr Brown is an amazing doctor. He takes his time with his patients and listens and answers all concerns you may have. He has been the best doctor I have ever had. Like I mentioned before, if I could have him as a regular doctor I would. His team is incredible as well when you use multicare valley hospital. THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!!

Great Doctor
Dr. Brown took the time to explain the procedure I am looking into. He answered all of my questions and was just extremely personable. He seems to genuinely care about his patients. I have anxiety around gyno care due to some traumatic experiences with pregnancy, but I felt super comfortable with Dr. Brown.

I’ve seen Dr Brown for years. He’s the only doctor I’ve had that sits and fully listens with empathy and care. He takes time to explain issues and options. I always leave the office feeling heard and understood.

Annual exam
Not only is Dr Brown very personable I think that he has a genuine concern for his patients. I have been seeing Dr Brown for nearly 20 years. He is always very informative and provides me with detailed information about any questions I might have regarding my health issues. When he is doing the exam he continuously is guiding me through the exam and explaining what he is doing and points out any areas of concern.

Informative and knowledgeable
I appreciate that he takes the time to ask questions, listen to my answers and respond accordingly. Unfortunately not all doctors are great listeners. I have always found that Dr Brown does a good job to help offer solutions to my concerns and even provides new information about changes to doctor recommendations that have occurred since my last appointment. He’s never pushy, he provides the information for you to take it and make the change.

The Best Doctor
This is my second pregnancy and I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Brown, the kindest most understanding doctor I have ever met and willing to go the extra mile. Every concern I’ve ever had he takes the time to explain and never makes me feel less than or misunderstood.

Best of the best
Dr. Brown is truly one of the most compassionate doctors I have ever been to. He has delivered all 3 of my children and been a wealth of knowledge throughout the years. You can tell Dr. Brown truly loves what he does and is a lifelong learner. It will be a sad day when Dr. Brown retires someday!

Best OB I've ever had
Most patient doctor I've ever had. I have a lot of anxiety with pregnancy due to previous loss. When I call because I'm anxious he calls me right back and never makes me feel like I am wasting his time. Has a lot of experience and always reminds me there is no stupid question. Sometimes you have to wait a long time to see him at your appointment but I know from experience that's because he spends all the time you need in your appointment to feel like you are best prepared. I switched to Dr. Brown after he did an emergency D&C on me at Valley and I saw how much he cared compared to my old OB office. Best switch I've ever made!

Finally a Provider I can Trust
I am so glad I found Dr. Brown! I am expecting my 2nd baby and had a hard time finding a provider I could trust and who supported my decision for a trial of labor and VBAC this time around. Dr. Brown has been supportive, listened to all my concerns, answered all my questions thoroughly, and has provided fantastic care. I never feel rushed or like he doesn’t have time to truly see me. I feel comfortable being open with him about my previous birth and postpartum experiences and feel confident he will do his best to provide my family with the best experience, birth, and postpartum care possible.

Professional and to the point!
I appreciated Dr. Brown's professional attitude and conciseness. I felt comfortable talking to him about my health, and he made sure that I didn't leave with any questions. He was very thorough and informative as it was my first appointment with him. I look forward to seeing him for my future OBGYN needs.

Best doctor i’ve ever had
I have been struggling with the same problem for awhile and no other doctor has been as patient or as caring as Dr. Brown. I asked a lot of questions and he answered them throughly and kindly. My boyfriend also spoke with him after my surgery and he has great things to say about him aswell. I have only kind things to say about Dr. Brown and would recommend him to anyone. 10 out of 10 experience in the hospital and at the clinic.
