Although I see many specialits, however, Dr. Brown is the only doctor who maintains a high level of service, care and is simply exceptional in what he delivers. He always maintains a close, respectable difficulty with the patient.
The only negative was the long wait past my appointment time of 75 min.
Dr. Brown is very, very focused on each patient. He listens and never rushes an appt. He takes great care to show you recent research that pertains to our situation. If he wasn't so caring and thorough I would not tolerate the long wait every time. He is worth it!!! I wish more doctors were like him!
Dr. Brown has been my cardiologist for many years & was the cardiologist for parents. I trust him the most out of all of my doctors. He truly cares & respects me.
Dr. Brown has been my Cardiologist for 23 years. He is the best of thebest. without his care I would nothave reach 81 years.
Dr. Brown is the best doctor for my care. He is very helpful and very gracious.

Dr. Brown has been our cardio doctor for many years and we are very fortunate he is available to us as we trust him fully. He has been taking excellent care of us and we need him whenever needed. He is also taking care of our son so Dr. Brown is OUR doctor..... Thanks Dr. Brown,
Dr. Brown is amazing: he is insightful - skilled & artful as my (new new) cardiologist - compassionate AND FUNNY.

Dr. Alan Brown is very knowledgeable, caring and respectful, I would recommend him to friends and families.
Okay, but I did not like the wait. Two hours wait...11:15 appointment and saw at 1:15
Dr. Alan Brown is an excellent professional who shows care and compassion which sometimes is not evident with others.
It was great!

I had two visits with Dr. Alan Brown. Dr. Brown is very kind and courteous. I have swelled ankles for three years. Dr. Brown referred me to Dr. X (vein doctor).
Excellent doctor, very well knowledgeable & not too pushy with prescription drugs!

Dr. Alan Brown is one of the best cardiologists in the nation. He truly cares about his patients. He is respectfully honest with me. My parents were patients of his, & he knows my family history better than any other doctor.
great
Dr. Alan Brown has taken care of me and my wife. I consider Dr. Brown to be the top - finest cardio doctor and got to him for assistance always - No one better!!
This was my first meeting with Dr. Brown as a referral and was very gratified at the caliber of his demeanor, patience, and wholistic knowledge. the ability to get immediate testing with results greatly enhanced understanding of my condition. In that I am a health care provider, I truly appreciate the time and energy expended to have this appointment. Very knowledgeable and caring sopport staff.
Dr. Alan Brown's input for my health issues and care is simply exceptional and has always been optimal. His standard has never changed. He puts proper perspective, control and in my case, works with the insurance to fight for my medical needs. Likewise, his office team and staff like Kim and Susan are simply amazing. They all provide the best care for the patients! I speak very highly of them at many of my appointments as a doctor and team who are just the best.
I respect his profession, and his honesty,and compassion.
Dr. Alan Brown is an Excellent professional!
The best Doctor!
I wanted to add that the nurse did a great job teaching me how to use my new injectable medication. She was patient; professional, FYI I was unable to open either of the links sent to me to see my test results.
Provider goes out of this way to give the best quality of care to his patients you couldn't want a better dr. It's nice to know he's always caring about your health and what he can do for you.
it was excellant
As always - great visit with Dr Brown.
I was amazed at quick response by Dr. Brown & his incredible knowledge on my illness.
Dr. Brown treats my wife and I as our cardiologist. he has always been one of our favorite and complete health providers. his genuine care and manner is the best we have experiences and his colleagues fall into that same category! thank you XX for such great doctors!
Dr. Brown is a great doctor - Over many years (since 2000) he and his staff have worked wonders with me to help my health
All concerns I had were answered - A test was provided to find out if I had an irregular heart beat, putting me at ease.
Dr. Brown is excellent.
