It was a pleasure to meet Dr Brown yesterday. He was warm and friendly whilst maintaining a professional approach. He asked me to tell him what I understood about the tests and scans that I had undergone to provide a path for revealing a difficult diagnosis in a straightforward but empathetic way. He was respectful and patient in answering questions. I would recommend him unreservedly.

Kai Brown actually listened to me… he did not have a prepared script.
My experience with Kai was nothing but the best level professionalism you could get, there was a few complications with the operation he was able to keep me alive and the care I received from everyone involved was exceptional, Dr Kai kept my family informed at all times, I visit him every 6 months for a check up, Royal North Shore are lucky to have him as a doctor 👌👍
