Dr. Brown is amazing. He listens to what I have to say and he has a way of leading me to the right outcome without disagreeing with me. He has my trust and respect 100%. I was ready to schedule my next shoulder surgery and he advised that I wait until it gets painful or when I suffer a greater loss of mobility. I would have never expected a surgeon to delay his next case. I will recommend him to everyone I encounter!
