MaleAbout Justin M Brown
Dr. Justin Brown is a board-certified neurosurgeon focused on restoring movement following trauma and paralyzing injuries to the peripheral nerves, spinal cord and brain. He repairs nerves, optimizes function and recovers movement of the extremities.
Dr. Brown began his career as a member of the Neurosurgery faculty of Washington University in St. Louis, where he helped lead the Center for Nerve Injury and Paralysis in collaboration with the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. After that, he established the UC San Diego Paralysis Center, expanding the paralyzing disorders treated to include spinal cord injuries as well as stroke and brain injuries. This center was unique as a comprehensive paralysis center treating all forms of paralysis.

I found Dr. Brown to be fairly condescending and unfamiliar with my history. I'm sure he's an excellent surgeon, but he seemed to lack respect for me during the appointment.

My experience with Dr. Brown was excellent. He took the time to explain the different things going on in my ankle and brought in other doctors to collaborate. He was very patient and kind.

He is a very nice guy, easy to understand, and seems kind and compassionate and really knows his stuff. I feel very confident about my upcoming surgery and would recommend him to anyone.

The doctor was very kind to me and an excellent listener, and most importantly, he is capable, has enough experience, and has a very beautiful humility

Hi, Dr. Brown has been basically my primary care provider for the last six, seven years now since I was involved in an accident. I would say he's extremely attentive. He actually gave me hope when I didn't have any. And he was able to provide me a great deal of ability beyond what I had. Prior to seeing him, I would absolutely recommend him to anyone I saw.
