Fantastic surgeon
Dr. Brown is a very thorough and caring surgeon. I felt like he really cares about my surgery and recovery being successful.
I wrnt iin for a follow up and Dr. Brown is attentive and answered all my questions. At one time, it seemed that I would need some more surgery to clear out unexpected arthritis but since I have not pain, he chose the conservative method and will wait. I appreciate that! Love CORE and Dr. Brown and his staff.
