Patient Reviews
Jul 11, 2023
Dr. Brown treated me for gout; excising a mass on my index finger. He explained the procedure and post-care well and has an exceptional bedside manner, kind, compassionate, and very approachable. He takes his time with you to ensure he answers all questions. The surgery and follow-ups were handled efficiently and thoroughly. HIGHLY recommend!
