I recently had surgical manipulation of the shoulder and have all the confidence in the promised outcome. Dr Brown has the best attitude and positivity that he passes onto his patience. He explains things in a way you can follow and understand. His staff is also superior. I would highly recommend Dr John Brown to anyone.
