Dr. Brown is wonderful. Very attentive and truly cares about his patients. His office manager/nurse Crystal and infusion nurse are just as great. They truly care about their patients. If you need a rheumatologist, consider Dr. Brown. You will not be disappointed!!

I had an appointment with Mr. Brown for 5 months. The day before my appointment I receive written notification that his office is closed Thanksgiving week so my appointment is now rescheduled for February. The letter was poorly written, photocopied on a machine that was running out of toner, and was cut unevenly with scissors. It is a good thing I made 3 appointments with different rheumatologists so I have a backup plan. Be warned.
