The man is a genius. He operated on me to remove one-third of my right lung when others feared to do so because of a napkin ring lesion in a coronary artery. He also removed numerous lymph nodes, about half of which were malignant. I opted not to undergo chemo or radiation and, based on the thoroughness of his surgery, my cancer is GONE. Thank God for Dr. Brothers!

Thank God for Dr. Brothers! I had a recurring spontaneous pneumothorax and Dr. Brothers operated on my lung and I have not had a recurrence since I was 17! Dr. Brothers used state of the art technology vs cracking open my entire chest. I am very thankful for him. God Bless you Dr. Brothers.

Dr. Brothers staff was very polite and friendly. I was in EJ for seven days and he visited every day. When I complained of pain he instructed staff to give as needed. The time spent with me was just enough for us to communicate. I haven't been to follow up yet.

The doctor is wonderful...if you can see him. When Dr. Brothers failed to confirm an appointment due to his own mistake, his office staff was unfortunately rude and lied to cover their mistakes. Based on interactions, they are lacking in compassion. I was very disappointed and would prefer to go somewhere different. I do not recommend this office due to the lack of follow-through and the consequential inability to resolve the situation.
