Doctor carefully explained the three steps of care that we could take to address my issue. Together we decided to take the first most conservative approach. She was extremely knowledgeable and imparted the facts clearly to me.

Dr. McKenzie-Brown listens; gives easy to understand directions on her plan of care and listens to my objections, as well as my affirmative to try what she is suggesting. She does not rush. She pays attention and I can tell by her actions that she really cares for her patients. Overall, I will continue to recommend Dr. McKenzie-Brown and her staff because it is evident that they all care about us. Thank you

Dr. Brown is very knowledgeable and nice when I interact with her but that time is very brief. I do not feel like I've been looked after appropriately mostly due to long response time in my chart for questions or concerns I have. And when they do respond, they're not responding With my concerns that I've addressed. I have felt very lost working with this office.

Dr. McKenzie-Brown is exceptional and simply, put, the best. Upon returning home, following my appointment, I experienced a medical situation which warranted my daughter taking me to the ER. The situation was not related to my earlier appointment, however, as I was lying in a bed in ER with excruciating arm pain and a bit frightened,Dr. McKenzie -Brown appeared. She was an angel from heaven In my eyes and I will forever cherish her care and concern. Life experience does not get better than this. Thank you, Dr. McKenzie-Brown.
