About Dr. Craig Brown

Please note: existing patient visits are shorter than the time required to assess new patients.

Dr. Craig Brown is a board certified family medicine specialist serving the Portland community and surrounding areas. Dr. Brown graduated from Michigan State University and received his residency training at McLaren Bay Region hospital. He has experience with preventive care for all stages of life, diagnosis and management of chronic diseases, annual exams and testing, ensuring vaccinations are up to date and coordinating with specialty care as needed.

If a doctor prescribes you diabetes meds without any education on diabetes, risk factors, or further investigation, run. If you actually want a doctor who listens and cares, look elsewhere.
