We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

Extremely Unprofessional
I have been calling this office for 3 days straight. The phone is not answered and the calls go to voicemail. After one week he finally picked up the phone and was annoyed that I was calling so much. I explained my situation and he was extremely rude often talking over me. It came to a point where I lost control and cursed him out. I did not select this doctor as my primary care physician my insurance company did. As a result I lodged a complaint with my insurance company HealthFirst and abruptly dumped them. Desmond Browne has this holier than thou attitude which is not good for bilateral converstations. If you don’t believe me look at the negative comments. They all have the same theme. Extremely Unprofessional behavior.

I remember one time I visited Dr.Brown and while he was attending to me , he looked into my eyes and said your pressure is high and proceeded to check it. I gained a new respect for him.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A DOCTOR YOU CAN COUNT ON, LOOK NO FURTHER AS DR. BROWN IS INDEED ONE OF THE BEST DOCTORS I HAVE ENCOUNTERED. THE EFFORTS HE PUT INTO HIS OFFICE TO MAKE HIS PTS COMFORTABLE AS WELL AS THE ARCHITECTURAL INVITING OFFICE HE DISPLAYS. AS ONE OF HIS PATIENTS I WILL NOT HESITATE IN RECOMMENDING DR. DESMOND BROWN TO ANYONE. I WILL GIVE THIS DOCTOR A FIVE STAR!!!!!.

Dr. Browne is an excellent doctor; with a very large practice in an expanding small space so, expect to wait. The qualify of his care and medical knowledge are worth the wait. I've been his patient for over 10 years; although I hate to wait as well, I haven't changed doctors. Any doctor worthy of your health should have a large patient roster. Would you go to him; if, he were empty???

Dr. Browne is an excellent Doctor! Extremely knowledgeable and up to date with new medical trends, etc.; He has been my family's doctor for over 17 years! He is the only doctor in that area that will still see a walk-in patient. He is a very caring doctor. I am a health care professional and I do not hand out complements easily. However, Dr. Browne always gets an A+ from me and my family.

Absolutely pathetic. Wait times are 1hr+, patients cramped into a tiny waiting room with no order. The facility is an old brownstone and is not clean. The support staff are imbeciles, not returning phone calls, not following up despite saying they will, and straight up have lied to me multiple times. Then the Dr and staff play a game of finger-pointing while you don't get the proper vaccines to go abroad. They will make you come in for an RX refill just to bill INS. Dr is always late, 11am/later
