To me, Dr. Brown was a surgeon sent from heaven. I did not experience the pain that others told me I would experience. He is very personable and wonderful bedside manners. And spend time explaining things to you and answering questions. I would very highly recommend him.

Every step in the process from diagnosis to plan for treatment to surgery prep to surgery to followup has been outstanding. Clear explanations, patient listening, perfect surgery, and outstanding results.
