My visit went well. Dr Browning listened to my concerns about a medicine I was taking and any other concerns I had. She always listens to my concerns and asks if I’m exercising like she asks.

Dr Browning is a very busy doctor. While waiting for her at my visit last week the PA was sent in to chat about my concerns while I waited. What a great idea. Dr Browning came in. We reviewed my various test results. She told me my options, answered my questions and actually listened to me. I had a great visit with her. Thank you

I chose Dr Browning because she has been my wife’s cardiologist for years. I was pleased with her manner and careful selection of tests for me. I had never had a cardiologist before and could have uaed some explanation of the tests that she scheduked fir me. I am glad to have her as my cardiologist.
