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.

Knowledgeable, great bedside manners
Dr.Brown cared for my mom when she was in LS hospital. He was very thorough with her. His bedside manners were phenomenal. So I decided to start seeing him a couple of years ago. He’s prompt, waiting time on average 5 to 7 minutes. . He’s very knowledgeable, he took time to listen and address my issues and concerns. I was concerned about a hbp medication my primary PCP had put me on years ago, and blew me off each time I asked her about it. So I decided to speak to him about it, since he specializes in heart health. Love the new med he has put me on, he has order labs in 3 weeks , to ensure that it’s best for me. Couldn’t be more happier with him. Can’t leave out his nurse Doreen, she an added bonus and she also goes over visit with a smile and make sure you have no questions and or concerns. I would give 10 stars if I could.

Rude, uncaring staff
Went to ER with chest pain. Had a pulmonary embolism. Was referred to see Dr. Brown within 3 days. Called and his staff LITERALLY LAUGHED AT ME!! I have a life threatening condition and they laughed that he was unavailable for the next 2 months. He might be a great doctor but his staff should not be in the medical industry.

I am a two-time cancer survivor, 74 years of age with type two diabetes, lung disease, pretty significant arthritis Osteo, and just plain worn out. Dr Brown and his staff are a blessing to me, They are still human beings, however I couldn’t ask for anyone better to keep me in good cardio health. If you don’t find that Dr Brown cares, then you are not making your wishes known. He will try in every way to treat you the best way that he knows how both personally and professionally. Period. In the past I have also worked with his Professional staff when I needed some help. I simply would not feel comfortable and trusting my heart care and other matters to anyone other than Dr Brown,And his staff.

My husband and I are patients of Dr Brown. And my mother was his patient, also. He is a very good doctor. He is thorough, knowledgeable, explains things in terms a non medical person can understand. He doesn't rush the visit, allows you time to ask questions and makes sure you understand everything before visit ends. His staff is great! We definitely recommend Dr Brown

Without a question or doubt, I would recommend Dr. Brown to anyone who is in need of a cardiologist. He is thorough, knowledgeable and compassionate, a rare commodity in this age. Frankly, he was the doctor on call in '99 when I came in to the ER with a wildly beating heart and stayed with me throughout until we had a diagnoses. I have continued to see him yearly. Many days during my time in the ICU, he came in, sat down and seemed to have all the time in the world for me!

What a WONDERFUL visit! From the time I walked in, to the time I left, I never felt like a patient. I felt like FAMILY! The staff was courteous and friendly...the wait time was short...and the Doctor was right in. I am highly recommending this facility to everyone that feels they have, or might have, heart issues. Dr. Brown explained everything on my level of comprehension. He asked questions, provided feedback. I felt he honestly cared about my health. Thank you Dr. Richard Brown!

I have been one of Dr. Brown's patients for going on 3 years. During that time, I have had several office visits and one hospital visit resulting from the discovrey that i have atrialfibrolation. At every opportunity, I found Dr Brown to be a sincerly caring physician which confirmed the confidence that I have in him. I trust him implicitly and highly recommend him to anyone needing the care of a well qualified cardiac physician.
