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.

Doesn't Listen, Rushes Appointments
Pleasant enough and staff get scripts phoned in quickly, but the doctor does not listen. Asks questions and then interrupts and asks another question, and so on. If it isn't about lungs he sends you to another specialist. At 15 minutes, he gets up and leaves, no matter what, often talking over his shoulder as he leaves. Annual Physical took . . .yup, 15 minutes.

I have been a patient with Dr. Browning for 7 years and have only seen him once but have always found his ARNP very good. His office staff have changed and his new receptionist Tiffany is the rudest individual I have ever had the displeasure of speaking with. I chose to find another doctor since the office seems to find her services acceptable.

Dr. is cautious about new unproven by time medications, Quick to refer you to a specialist, if you need one. Spends enough time with me, Nurse practitioners are excellent also. I have no problem and like the place, feel confident in them.
