Absolutely horrible front office. They are literally closed 2.5 hours for lunch. They refused to even schedule an appt without a Medicare # and then once I gave them the number, they claimed it was impossible to schedule unless there was a physical hard copy of a referral. I offered to email it to them so I could make the appointment and they claimed they don't have email. Also, be prepared to not see a doctor but a physicians assistant. And previous commenter was right - the place is unsanitary.

Today was my first visit. I got seen at my appointment time! Great first impression! Jessie the P.A. I think that's her name, was amazing! She listens:! Come with card, or quarters for parking. I will update once I get actual treatment.

One of the best experiences going to a doctors office. The women at the front desk were very nice and the doctor was precise and provided a safe environment.

Office staff is HORRIBLE! I hope Dr. Brown reads the reviews and corrects this problem before it costs him his practice. They cannot take down a correct call back number. They lie and say they called you (when they did not). They make excuses as to why simple business procedures were not followed. They make recommendations they do not back. Its unfortunate patients have to deal with BAD gatekeepers to see a doctor they like. Please fix asap!
