Dr. Brown is an excellent psychiatrist, he is a great listener very compassionate and gives terrific advise. He helped me through very difficult times dealing with my father dying and helping my mother through this difficult time. He is a great therapist and prescribed me medicine that is working really well with no side effects. I’ve recommended him greatly to several of my friends and family. He is usually available by phone very soon after I call and answers all my questions. I have never met a more caring and compassionate doctor.

I started to see Dr. Brown because I was having problems adjusting to a new job. He is a very talented and compassionate doctor. My job was intense and my boss was putting increased demands on me. He started regular appointments with me. He was always punctual and showed deep concern for me and my problems, Now I am gradually getting much better handling the demands of work and taking care of 3 children and I look forward to all my visits with him. If you have a lot of stress he is the best psychiatrist to see in my opinion.

I was suffering from serious problems with my self-esteem and was in a lot of stressful relationships with people who acted like all they cared about is themselves. Dr. Brown started cognitive and behavior therapy with me and it worked really well. He helped me see how my bad thoughts about myself came from things my family and other people told me rather than what I knew and I started to understand that I needed to trust and believe in myself more. He is a great listener and really cares a lot about me. I never feel rushed when I see him and he always takes the time to consider things from my

I can’t say enough about how caring and knowledgeable Dr. Brown is. He knows all about medications but doesn’t pressure you into taking them, instead he listens and explains everything to you and lets you make the final decisions. I felt like he really considered me as a unique person and never makes judgments. My depression has gotten a lot better after seeing him for therapy and medication and I think he would be very helpful to anyone dealing with depression or other psychological problems. He is a terrific doctor.

I saw Dr. Brown for problems with anxiety and stress affecting my job. I was nervous all the time, had palpitations and many fears. I was nervous about seeing a psychiatrist since it was for the first time but Dr. Brown put all my fears to rest in the first session. He is an extremely caring professional and takes the time to really get to know you as a person. He started cognitive behavioral therapy and I feel much better now. My panic attacks are nearly entirely gone and I am doing much better at work. He also always return phone calls and is on time for appointments. I strongly recommend Dr

The first time I called Dr. Brown answered right away. I told him that I was having trouble handling my demanding job and dealing with my 4 year old son. He made an appointment for me within just a few days of calling him and he was right on time. I found him to be very kind, caring, and a good listener. He is an excellent therapist and is really professional. This was a few months ago. I started to feel much better and learned a lot about how to handle my stress. Things are going much better for me at work now and I’m having very little nervousness. I am still seeing Dr. Brown and want to continue

I made an appointment to see Dr. Brown because of intense anxiety attacks, my heart raced, I felt I was suffocating and was overwhelmed with fear. He patiently listened to my complaints. He diagnosed me with panic disorder and prescribed medication and began cognitive behavioral therapy. Within a few weeks I felt much better and I have continued to see Dr. Brown for the past several months with continued improvement. Dr. Brown is one of the most patient, compassionate physicians that I have ever been treated by. He takes all the time needed to make sure all my questions are addressed, and always
