Dr. Brotherson was my physician for quite a few years until I moved cross country. He helped me through several serious medical episodes. He spent a good amount of time on my office visits and when needed during my hospital stays. I would highly recommend him and wish I could still have him as my doctor.

Dr. Brotherson is a TREASURE! First, he is incredibly through and knowledgeable when you need it most. And he actually CARES! He treats you as a WHOLE person, not just a bunch of symptoms. I can't recommend him highly enough. He saw me and my husband through a number of difficult illnesses that he got us through quickly, efficiently and with a minimum of worry.

Dr. Brotherson is excellent, caring and simply one of the best doctors I have ever been to. He goes out of his way to help and care for the whole patient - always willing to go the extra mile and I would highly recommend him.

There seem to be endless Dr's in the area these days. Especially at hospitals and their emergency clinics. From my experience with them, if I want a different diagnosis, just go to a different clinic. Dr. B. is the one modern Dr. I've met, with the old school ethic of taking sufficient time, and asking the right questions, to solve whatever problems my family and I have had. Which is why we stick with him. Quality vs. Quantity.

Dr. Brothersons office assistant is poor. It is enough to get me to leave the practice. I will stop here as I don't want to be to rude.

I saw Dr. Brotherson for several years back in the 1990's. During that time, he misdiagnosed an allergic reaction to a cosmetic cream as Impetigo and prescribed an ointment that contained the same allergen that originally caused the problem. He also offered to prescribe tranquilizers, despite my having advised him that I had undergone a 30-day rehab to get off of those same pills. A nice man with an excellent manner and friendly staff, but I was disappointed by the above experiences.
