Dr. Brown has the best bedside manner. She explains things in detail and wasn't bothered by my questions. She never seemed rushed like so many doctors making their rounds. I have only seen her while I was in the hospital for a bowel obstruction twice. She was very willing to not rush into surgery and I was lucky both times nor needing the surgery.
