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.

I would recommend Dr. Brown 100%.
Dr. Brown is a most caring doctor. I know that with his expertise in his field and by sending us to other heart specialist when needed that he has definitely prolonged my husband's life for many years. He truly cares about finding the right medications and the correct doctors other than just himself to treat my husband. We dread the day when he retires and we have to see another cardiologist. My husband's heart issues are not his only serious health issues and Dr. Brown works hard to be sure all my husband's meds work together and do not hamper any of his other health issues. We cannot say enough good things about about Dr. Brown.
