Dr. Brown did my anterior hip replacement. He and his staff were extremely supportive, returning my calls with detailed answers. My other hip is also deteriorating, and I hope to have him replace that hip when needed.

Had a full hip replacement eight months ago. Extremely satisfied with Dr Brown, office staff, and hospital staff. Wish I could rate above a 5.

Listens when you are discussing symptoms and your thoughts. Hard to discuss symptoms outside scheduled appointments. Staff is not always responsive to questions through MyChart or leaving a message. Would highly recommend for someone having hip joint replacement. He and his staff provided all the information needed.

Dr. Brown is the best surgeon that I have even seen. I went to him for a very complicated knee problem. I had a number of previous surgeries on my knee. For fours years since he replaced my knee I have been relatively trouble free. I would unconditionally recommend him to anyone.

Instills confidence and trust readily. Skill is apparent. Bedside manner comforting and highly informative. Staff in office highly attentive. Easy interaction.

Went back for a three month check up after knee revision. The office was very busy that day, but they were working hard to see everyone. Many of us came from 100-300 miles because Dr. Tom Brown is the best guy for knee surgery. I can really tell the difference between Dr. Browns knee revision on my left knee and the right knee with the knee replacement I got in Newport News in 2008. Dr. Brown will revise my right knee later this year. He and his team are the best!

Dr. Brown has done both a THR and TKR on me, the hip in 2004 and the knee just this year. His knowledge in diagnosing is excellent, followup excellent, but I feel he's quite abrupt, not rude mind you, just abrupt and doesn't normally spend more than a few minutes with patients. I know the reality is he's a busy doctor, and I suppose if I had to pick between good bedside manner or knowledge & diagnosing, I'd truly pick the latter, but it really would be nice to have both!Overall, however, I'm content with the surgeries he's done on me.
