Patient Reviews
Oct 12, 2022
Dr. Brown is a most caring doctor. I know that with his expertise in his field and by sending us to other heart specialist when needed that he has definitely prolonged my husband's life for many years. He truly cares about finding the right medications and the correct doctors other than just himself to treat my husband. We dread the day when he retires and we have to see another cardiologist. My husband's heart issues are not his only serious health issues and Dr. Brown works hard to be sure all my husband's meds work together and do not hamper any of his other health issues. We cannot say enough good things about about Dr. Brown.
Thank you for sharing your feedback about Dr. Thomas Brown, MD.
