I do believe Dr Brown saved my life with the surgery he performed. When doing the hernia surgery he found something else he didn’t like and sent it to pathology. That decision changed our treatment plan which would not have been known without the pathology report. Besides his expertise with medical, he has a wonderful, and sincere caring bedside manner. The office staff is great and always polite and willing to help with questions. Dr Brown did a second surgery a week later for IV Port insertion and again I was very pleased with the procedure. Great surgeon and highly recommended!

Dr. Brown removed my gallbladder while I was 15 weeks pregnant. No harm was done to me or my unborn child. He treated me with respect and made sure my surgery was done the right way. The only thing I was unhappy with is that because I was pregnant I was supposed to stay 24 hours after my surgery to monitor my condition, but Dr. Brown did not agree with this so I went home a few hours after my surgery. I ended up back in the hospital a week later because of dehydration and malnourishment. He is a great surgeon and person whom I would highly recommend.
