Dr. Brand and his staff provided the highest level of care during my recent hernia surgery. They were very professional as well as being caring and efficient. Dr. Brand listened to my needs and concerns. He has a knack for anticipating questions before they are even asked. He is an excellent surgeon. This is the third experience my wife and I have had with his surgical skills. He is the best and we highly recommend him and the Thomas Johnson Surgical Center.

Dr. Brand and his assistants are excellent in their diagnosis, care and treatment. I had a cyst removed from my back and can’t imagine that I could have found anyone to have handled my case better. I was treated courteously and professionally to my great satisfaction.

Dr. Brand and his team at the Foris Surgical Group were professional in addressing my condition and making all the preparations for surgery. Dr. Brand's and his team at the Thomas Johnson Surgical Group did an excellent job with the surgery. I had nearly no pain/discomfort immediately after the surgery and my recovery went extremely well. These folks are the best ! ! ! This was my second time around since 2006. This is why I came back.
