"1/5/03: I just reread this and realized I have not updated it at all. Well I have officially known Dr. Brown and his staff for 8 months or so. So I feel I should give you an update on them all. On a scale of 1-5 I would give them a 20! They are excellent. All of them. I would highly recommend this group for your consideration. The office staff, Mary and Melinda go above and beyond the call of duty to help you when ever you need it, Dr.Brown himself is just the coolest guy, very supportive, as is his assistant Anna, and then we have Kelly the dietician, she is awesome. Very encouraging, very uplifting, and really has great information and knowledge. Shannon is a new dietician that also works with the group but I have not had the priveledge of meeting her yet. I would imagine, knowing the folks in that office she is a great person as well.
I would highly recommend this group to anyone. The care and post op support is great!

I met Dr. Brown yesterday. I am really impressed not only with him, but with his office staff as well. They are all a kind, considerate group that genuinely seem to like what they do. The office is warm and welcoming. Dr Brown was a very nice guy, explaining the procedure, and taking time to answer all my questions. I never felt he was in a hurry, or impatient with me during our appointment. He explained the procedure to my husband and me and then said “ok, ask me questions”. I was absolutely thrilled that the office staff and Dr. Brown were willing to put me in for a surgery date before I have even met with the psychologist, and before they have gotten my insurance approval.
Dr. Brown does all his surgeries with the laparoscope if possible. He stated that so far this year he has only had two cases where he had to do an open RNY.
All in all, so far I give this office a 5 on a 5 scale. They didn’t make me wait long for an appointment, didn’t make me wait long for a surgery date, and have been nothing but helpful and kind. I would definitely recommend them to others based on what I have experienced so far.

"I really like Kelly. She has said that she loves working with WLS patients, and you can tell by talking to her, she is telling the truth. She is very fun and friendly to talk to, and bases what she teaches on 10 years of experience. She is someone I look forward to seeing many times over. "
