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.

Highly Recomended!

Recommended my elderly wife who had Afib, undergo surgery for early stage colon cancer without pursuing any other treatment options for her. So she was rushed into this procedure and even though vigorous and healthy for her age, she suffered a stroke the day after she got out of the hospital and died two weeks later. But for Dr. Brown's negligence in recommending this surgery, she would be alive today.

We've been with Dr. Brown for about 18 years- he really goes above and beyond for his patients. He called on a Saturday a few months back, to check on my husband. I left a message late Friday, expecting a cal on Monday. Just recently, he called on Wednesday (office is closed Wed.) - in response to a message I left late Tuesday, thinking I'd get a call Thursday. This, despite just going through a serious illness himself. Thanks, Doc Brown!

Dr. Sandy was my trusted physician growing up. I fell into a Wood stove when I was small and had a large ugly burn, he treated it and it never scarred. He also preformed an emergency appendectomy on me at age 6. He took the chance and it saved my life. I will always be grateful, if I still lived in fort Bragg if would be my families physician.
