Mr Brown was brilliant in explaining everything to me. My experience was an emergency surgery so at the time it was very fast and I didn’t understand the severity of what was happening so it was good to get some clarification around it. He answered all the questions I had about the op and further symptoms I may continue to experience. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you so much for saving my legs!

My experience with seeing Mr Brown regarding my subarachnoid haemorrhage has been truly an excellent experience, he has made me feel confident about going about my daily live, he is very approachable and easy to communicate with I had many questions that I needed answering. Going forward I no longer need follow up appointments however Mr Brown has said I can contact him should I have any future worries or concerns, to me this is invaluable, my family & I would highly recommend Mr Brown.

My condition was more serious than I thought . The Dr explained it clearly and gave me very useful information on how to manage my condition and I asked several questions . I wish I had asked a couple of more questions, but maybe my head wasn't clear at the surprise of my condition being worse than I thought.

My recent contact with Mr Brown was a follow up to assess progress after a procedure. I have been under his care in the past for a different condition. . He is an excellent clinician, consistently demonstrating good communication skills with empathy and understanding. I have been fully informed by him regarding treatment options in order to make informed decisions along the way.

Very comprehensive explanation of the issue and of the procedure that could be performed and expected outcome percentages before any decision had to be made. The procedure was completed and has been extremely successful. Thank you
