I did have on issue; the Dr never ordered an H1C test for my yearly physical. I was told that my blood sugar level was high, so the test should have been ordered on the 1st go around. I had to call and ask that the test be run. Turns out I'm pre-Diabetic. I wouldn't have known if I didn't get the results of the A1C test. It should be a standard test

Very good visit.
11/26/2025
I don't think there was anything much more that Dr. Brown can improve on. It was a great visit.
11/25/2025
Very pleased with Dr. Brown. Excellent communication with him and he listens to you and I'm very pleased with the staff also. One thing that could be improved on, when I was told about my appointment for one o'clock, I didn't, and he was doing a blood test too. I was never told that I had to fast. This is a problem with the messaging service. But I am diabetic. If I had waited that long, I would have gone into a diabetic shock. So I did have breakfast that day. So now I do make my appointments early in the morning with all my doctors because I'm diabetic. You can't go too long without eating properly.
11/20/2025
I felt very comfortable with Dr. Brown as my new Dr. because my regular Dr. retired
