Dr. Brown performed my emergency broken wrist surgery after a snowboarding fall in Mammoth. Outstanding experienced knowledgeable Doctor with great bed side manners. He took time to explain my condition and all my options. He did not press or insist in any way to do the surgery. I am 3 weeks after now and doing great. The 2 inch wrist incision is a very thin clean straight line. I am recovering great. Recommend this doctor to anyone. Thank you, Dr. Brown!

Dr. Brown is the best hand surgeon around, and a very congenial guy! Now, if he would just do something about his office assistant Cindy…

I feel very lucky to have found Dr. Brown. I took a fall early one morning and learned at the emergency care that I not only broke my radius, but the damage was such that I required surgery. I went home and found two doctors in my plan with excellent reviews. I called the first one, and was treated so rudely that I refused the appointment they finally offered with one of the associates. Then, I called Dr. Brown. This time when I explained my situation, I was greeted with understanding and an immediate appointment. Dr. Brown’s office warned me that I might have to wait a few minutes, but they would get me in. My appointment was for 10:30 am. I arrived at 10:15 and before I had completed my paperwork, they were ushering me into my appointment. My x-rays had been reviewed and Dr. Brown & his associate(nice young woman) already had a plan of action. I was out by 11 am with a scheduled surgery set. Fast forward, surgery went well and his recommendation for PT reflected his own top-notch practice. I am in final stages of PT, and will likely not need Dr. Brown again, but he told me not to hesitate to call if I have any issues or concerns. Additional Note — His group also manages to keep the appts as close to on-time as possible. The office is definitely run well!

My daughter needed to have a lump removed from her hand. Never had to wait more than 2 minutes to see him. She always got a lollipop. He did the surgery under local while she ate the lollipop. No pain at all. Extremely competent and experienced. Excellent bedside manner. Could not be happier.

Even though I’m a few years late, I got this Unilocal account specifically to write a good review for Dr. Brown; yeah, I’m an extreme procrastinator AND he’s that good! I broke my arm while snowboarding in south Lake Tahoe. Low and behold I find out that I was 5 weeks pregnant while I was in the hospital. Normally, they would have done surgery. But since I was pregnant AND the break was so clean, they decided not to operate. When I got back down to San Diego, I needed an orthopedic. Luckily, after researching, I found Dr. Brown. Dr. Brown AND his staff were sooo nice and professional. We were always called in on time for our appointments and left in a sensible amount of time. Dr. Brown’s office was very careful doing x-rays(knowing of my pregnancy) and mindful of prescriptions. He was accommodating in every way possible. Dr Brown is a real person too!!! He spoke to my husband and I like we were more than patients. Time is money and he took time to talk about the baby, his kids, and asked us about our lives in general. It made us feel like he really cared. Most importantly, my broken bone/arm successfully healed without the use of surgery. Thank you Dr. Brown!!! If I ever have the misfortune of needing an orthopedic, I will definitely come back to you!!!

I’ll admit I’m a little biased because I’ve worked with Dr. Brown for 6 years… but in my opinion he is the best of the best. I can write an honest review because he has operated on my wrist and treated me for tendonitis, and I have absolutely no residual pain or issues. Not only is Dr. Brown an excellent surgeon, he is a kind and generous person. Anyone unfortunate enough to need the services of an orthopedic hand surgeon would be lucky to find him.

I have seen Dr Brown for about 4 years and for 3 separate hand injuries. He has performed 2 surgeries on me and I can attest to his surgery skills and excellent bedside manner. Dr Brown is highly regarded as one of the best hand surgeons in Southern California by physicians and OR staff. He sees his patients quickly and diagnoses problems efficiently and correctly. He has exceptional bedside manner. He has treated my wrist and hand injuries with great success and excellent outcomes. His surgical approaches are up to date and he is talented with minimally invasive techniques which allow you to recover much faster with less pain. I can’t say enough good things. I would highly recommend him if you have a hand or wrist injury.

Wow. I’ve never met a better specialist in my life. My appointment was at 2, I was in his office at 2. I didn’t wait for ONE minute. That NEVER happens. I box — my hands are a mess. I was X-rayed and Dr. Brown saw me right away. Injected with cortizone and got an rX. I don’t have to follow up with him. Magnificent — I wouldn’t see anyone else.
