“Dr. Brown is an outstanding ENT specialist, both as a first-rate physician and as a person of great warmth, charm, and simplicity of manners. I was extremely pleased with the totality of my visit to his office as well, where everyone - from the font desk associates to the attending nurse included - was friendly, polite, and helpful. I am happy and lucky that my Internet search landed me right at Dr. Brown’s office!”

Great doctor his staff was exceptional. It’s a very beautiful office I felt great leaving knowing all my concerns were answered. One of my favorite things is that all the paperwork is done online prior to arrival that’s always a pain for me because of a injury I have I have to write with my left hand and it takes forever and I’m so glad I could do it on my phone. 10/10 will recommend every time

March 20, 2022Christopher N.Verified patient
I highly recommend Dr. Downey. He was professional, attentive, patient, warm and knowledgeable. He demonstrated a sincere, caring approach to my concerns. He took time to carefully explain things about my issue and thoughtfully answered my questions. His kindness meant a lot because I’ve often felt unseen, dismissed and/or belittled in healthcare settings. Dr. Downey is a rare find. I guarantee you’ll be beyond pleased with his service. He’s now my gold standard in healthcare. You’re appreciated, Dr. Downey.
