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.

Outstanding Dr. Absolute horrible office staff.
I have been seeing Dr Scott Browning for over 10 years and you will not find a more qualified and meticulous surgeon. I had a colon resectioning in 2015 it was and is the best thing I ever did. I have since seen him for my colonoscopy's. That being said I have tried endlessly for over 6 months to reach his office by phone and each time it is answered by an answering machine with sorry excuses as to why they can not answer their phone. It's they can't find any help or now it's their changing their medical records system. you leave messages and no one will return your phone calls for days. I have a colonoscopy scheduled for June 3 2023 little over a week away. I've tried contacting there office for over a month to only have received 1 call back with a very rude person saying someone would return my call. It's a little over a week away from up coming Appt and still no return phone calls after trying at least 15 time to reach there office and leaving messages.

Top notch Surgeon and care,
Being a patient for over 12 years I can't explain enough how confident I am with any procedures Dr Browning has performed on me. Having a ostomy for over 40 years has a set of challenges which Dr Browning has addressed with great success. Yes, there have been curve balls but his positive comments and calm diagnosis has been a wonderful in reassuring me all will be taken care of. My wife has been a patient of his for 20 years and feels the same. We just can't give Dr Browning, his staff and office enough praise.

Dr. Browning has given me my life back. I recently had LIS surgery for a fissure and a fistulotomy. He explained everything to me and even drew diagrams to help me understand. He was easy to talk to and always listened and answered my questions. I only wish I would of begun treatment with him 8 months ago. His staff is friendly and have always helped accommodate my scheduling needs. I travel 4 hours to see him and it is worth it. I would highly recommend him.

If you are looking for a highly professional, intelligent, well informed surgeon who will treat you as a human being, call Dr. Browning. He performed the robotic colectomy on my 73-year old mother and it was superior. Thank you, doctor Browning!

My husband had to have surgery for colon cancer, and Dr. Browning couldn't have been nicer. Easy to talk to, informative, absolutely no ego involved! Extremely good surgeon plus a great staff, office personnel. Always a smile to greet you with. Truly a great doctor! Thanks!
