Dr Brown was my Pre and Post transplant doctor at Ochsner Medical. Dr Brown is a awesome doctor. She takes the time to listen and care for her patients. Dr Brown is very much missed by this previous patient at Ochsner.

I was very impressed with Dr Brown. It was my first visit and had a lot of questions. She gave a alot of time and answered and explained all I needed to know. I found her to be a very attentive Dr to the needs of the patient. She didn't rush me off like most Dr's do I give her a A+
