Dr Brown performed a very successful EGD on my husband Sept 2018, after a general surgeon did one earlier that did nothing for him. He has his life back again thanks to Dr Brown.

I was highly impressed with the care I received when I visited Dr. Brown for my digestive problem. He was very thorough and ordered tests to find out what was causing my problem. His sweet nurse, Marcy, followed up by contacting me several times. They showed they cared!

Dr. Brown has been my family's primary doctor for about 15 years. He has always been very thorough, compassionate and conscientious. He truly cares about his patients and goes the extra mile to provide excellent care. I highly recommend Dr. Brown.

Many of my family members are patients of Dr. Brown and we all hold him in very high regard. My wife was experiencing a serious medical issue and Dr. Brown postponed his personal vacation to make sure she was cared for before departing.

Dr. Brown is a very special doctor. I did not have a simple diagnosis. I had made several trips to the ER and multiple doctors over many months. Dr. Brown took the time and did the research to diagnose multiple problems that I had and I can say that I am 100% okay now and have had no problems over the last couple of years. He is constantly vigilant in monitoring my general health. I will highly recommend Dr. Brown to anyone.

He's performed several colonoscopies and endoscopies on my GI track with no problem with his performance. Once, he referred me for an internal hernia which was burned off, successfully.
