Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

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.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Front Office Staff Absolutely Horrible
Dr. Brown was nice and made me feel comfortable but due to his front desk lady, I WILL NEVER GO BACK OR RECOMMEND ANYONE!! I have NEVER been talked to or treated so rudely by a doctors office staff! She was so extremely hateful, I was absolutely appalled by her behavior. On my out she said very loudly, "Jesus Christ!"

Dr. Brown really listens to patients and is not just about going to the most extreme treatments first. He is easy to talk to and very through. I would suggest him to my friends and family without a second thought!

Fantastic staff and Dr. Brown is a remarkable physician. Able to book appointments very quickly and have been seen almost always within 24 hours. Extremely knowledgable in all areas of pain management. As a former collegiate athlete, I have a couple of problem areas including stenosis, ddd, pars defects, and a spondylothisthesis. Thanks to Dr. Brown, I have been living virtually pain free due to to his treatments and rehab. Highly recommended.

DR. Brown is very good and doesn't waste your time, he wants to help you with yout issues fast. I just wish his office staff was a little more empathetic and patient, they act as if you are bothering them when you call them. Its sad because Dr. BROWN is so nice and empathetic.

I can not speak highly enough of Dr Brown!! For years he has helped me manage my back pain. Very sympathetic and understanding of the pain that I have endured over time. His staff is very nice and efficient. God bless Sharon for having to deal with my insurance company, she is the best!!! I appreciate him and his staff very much!!!

Dr. Brown is very knowledgable, patient, and personable. He isn't uptight and makes you feel as if you're speaking to a friend. I would highly recommend him to anyone who has need of a physician for sports medicine or anything related to the spine.

Dr Brown has been the only doctor to help with my chronic arthritis pain . All the other arthritis doctors want to prescribe 20 pills or more a day with risk of cancer and liver disease . Dr Brown has found a way to stop the pain without invasive surgery and cancer risk medications . He has been incredible in my life and I am very effective in my daily routine !! Thank you
