Patient Reviews
Apr 20, 2021
I trusted Dr Brown, literally with my life, as he has treated me for liver issues for about 20 years. I was very sad recently to find out that he has retired. The gentleman that took over for him (Dr Youseff) has not impressed me. I have managed to get an appointment with him but I am almost certain that I will be using it to get referred to someone who has experience with advanced liver disease.
