Staff efficient and friendly. Doctor lacks interpersonal skills. Efficient but no warmth or empathy.

January 23, 2026Dominick D.Verified patient
I appreciate all of the care that Dr Brown has given me with my hand issue. He explains everything carefully and efficiently, offering me options that suit me best. He answers all of my questions and I feel very comfortable with the treatments that we've chosen. My issue is almost fully healed and so far, everything he outlined happened in the time frame he originally indicated. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who needed this type of care.

I have an overall great experience for my first time there. Everyone listened to my concerns. They took X-rays right there. The doctor gave me a diagnosis, instructions, and treatment for my wrist pain. I will definitely go back to see Dr. Bennett brown when needed.

Very professional
September 18, 2025Peter M.Verified patient
The Doctor was more interested in completing his documentation in the computer than examining and diagnosing my issue.
Barely examined me. He recommended I buy a brace and said he could subscribe an anti- inflammatory. That's it!!! No diagnosis of problem, no recommendation of therapy, nothing. Terrible experience. I would never recommend him to anyone!
August 16, 2025Donald D.Verified patient
Prompt and efficient
June 17, 2025James R.Verified patient
I received helpful reminders for my appointment. The office is efficiently run. Dr Brown listened to my concerns, had X-rays done immediately, explained results and a plan to help with my problem. I would definitely recommend him as a hand specialist.
June 7, 2025Terry S.Verified patient
Dr. Brown was efficient and knew what was required immediately. My case was simple arthritis of my left hand. Treatment: cortisone shot which did the trick. Would recommend him to others.
May 31, 2025Jeffrey H.Verified patient
Dr. Brown examined me and read the x rays taken of my elbow. He clearly stated that I had tendinitis of the elbow and he explained in detail what he could do and what I should do to deal with this condition. I consented to having a cortisone shot in the elbow, basically painless, and he advised me to apply ice to the area when I get home, to take anti anti inflammatory pills, and to wear an elbow band when playing golf. He certainly relieved any anxiety I had about possibly having a serious injury. Highly recommended if you have problems with your elbow.
May 12, 2025Stuart R.Verified patient
Dr. Brown is simply the best doctor I have ever gone to. He is so friendly and knowledgeable and skillful. I wouldn’t let anybody else perform surgery on my hands put him.
