Patient Experience Reviews
Impressed with the amount of time spent listening and answering all of my questions. Relaxed, not rushed discussion.
DR BROWN WAS VERY THOROUGH IN EXPLAINING WHAT HE WAS DOING AND WHAT ADDITIONAL CARE I WOULD BE NEEDING. HE WAS VERY KIND.
Dr. Brown was very nice and helpful. He made some recommendations and how we can proceed to improve my chronic sinus issues. He was able to confirm what I have long suspected about chronic inflammation, but over which I have been dismissed in the past. I look forward to working with him to improve this condition to benefit my overall health.
Dr. Colby Brown and his team are outstanding

Dr Brown is amazing ***
I am a new patient and found Dr Brown to be friendly and respectful. He thoroughly explained my condition and test results and ordered an MRI to rule out any underlying cause for my problem. I felt I was in good hands with Dr Brown and his staff. I would recommend him to anyone who needed his services.
I have received most of my medical care from a different hospital system, not UH. I made an appointment with Dr Brown because he was recommended to me. I found him to be an excellent doctor. He treated me and solved my problem. I will certainly return to him if I need to. I am considering transferring to other doctors in this system, because of my very favorable impression of Dr Brown.
