Terrible doctor. Completely ignorant. Doesn't know what she doesn't know. Saw my sick kid and did nothing for months, couldn't tell us what to do, what she was thinking and got mad if we questioned her. Also every clinic appointment took forever. Finally went to another doc who didn't mess around and was clear and patient. On some strong medicine now. Getting better. I don't usually write reviews like this, but it's my public duty. Stay away from Dr. Brown.

Dr Brown has treated my son for 12 years and she is the BEST! We do wait a long time to see her but it is well worth it. She takes all the time necessary to evaluate and explain the current situation. She is smart, kind and thorough. I highly recommend her!

Dr. Raynorda Brown was very thorough in medical test after finding an abnormality (which was benign). She was very specific to make sure she got the correct differental diagnosis. I really liked this doctor.

Even though she has years of experience on paper, her bedside manners and diagnostic skills do not reflect this. She was 2 hours late for the appointment and then hurried through the visit as if she didn't care about my child. She does a lot of unecessary, expensive, invasive tests, and still does not seem to know how to help us or make a diagnosis. Overall, would hope that she loses her medical license soon!
