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.

Because of Dr. Brown, I think I've been given hope for an injury that I've been dealing with for almost 16 years. He explained to me that I'll have a long recovery (3 to 6 months) But compared to the nightmare I've been dealing with for so long, I jumped at the opportunity to hopefully get use of my arm again. I've waited 16 years for someone that had the knowledge and talent to do this surgery, and it seems my hopes, dreams and Prayers have finally at least become a viable option, where a week ago I had nothing!
