I have never written a review before and held off on this one for a while but I realized with all…read morethe glowing praise it was my duty to offer my experience. I went to see Dr. Brown a while back as a second opinion, which I disclosed on our first visit, for a sinus issue I unfortunately still suffer from. At first he seemed kind and caring and wanting the best and asked me to keep calling back every few weeks to see how I was doing, which I did. Unfortunately in one of our follow up calls, when I told him I was still seeing my original doctor, he got angry at me and said he would no longer see me anymore, calling it "unethical." I was in shock! I'd never had a doctor speak to me this way. My health will always come before someone's ego. I'll see 50 doctors if that's what it takes. So if you're lucky enough to get the experience others have written about here that's great. Unfortunately Dr. Jekyll became Mr. Hyde to me so just be wary of what you're getting into.

I do not even know where to begin. I became a patient of Dr. Brown's by chance, after a series of…read moreunfortunate circumstances and a CT scan to check on a skin infection found a tumor in my parotid gland. My PCP referred me to Dr. Brown's practice following an MRI and the few weeks of uncertainty of what exactly this tumor was truly was a blur. The second Dr. Brown walked into the exam room I immediately felt comfortable and could sense his confidence in figuring out whatever was going on with me. He did just that and even was kind enough to consider my upcoming (now postponed because of COVID) wedding. He explained the tumor, where it was, the statistics of where it was and how that relates to complications and recovery. He thoroughly explained and was honest with me about the surgery and the high likelihood of temporary and some permanent side effects. He even told me to expect a few side effects he was fairly confident could or would happen. I was nervous, considering I didn't have an ailment needing to be fixed, rather we were doing this so I didn't need to deal with repercussions later. But I knew I was in good hands. Today, I am one week post op. I have not experienced pain. I have zero of the adverse effects that were expected. Well, I guess one but a numb ear is something I can live with and was the least of my concern. It was comforting to know Dr. Brown was just as happy with the outcome of this story for me as I am. Sure, some of it is "luck" as he put it but it's also skill and attention to detail. That meant so much to me. I also want to note that I'm 26 years old but have seen ENT doctors my entire life having been born premature, diagnosed with hearing loss at age 8, and having nothing but ear, nose and throat issues for years. I remember just about every doctor I've encountered and I thought my last physician was the best of the best. I honestly can say, and have told my family and friends, Dr. Brown is tied in my book as the best ENT I've ever had and I'd trust him again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much Dr. Brown! Go celebrate this success because you very much deserve it.

I had my entire adult family with this physician as the primary care doctor…read more Visits are brief. Conditions are reviewed with WebMD like computer searches. No treatment for conditions ranging for internal pains, symptoms of arthritis, risk or aortic rupture, or gout were ever recommended. Thousands of dollars in tests were we sent for. No review , feedback, analysis, or recommendations on any of them were ever received. Don't make the mistake of asking an extra question during a visit. You will be billed fully as if it were another appointment. (which your insurance won't cover as they don't understand two sessions with the same doctor on the same day) After 2 years of trying to get any kind of result, we shifted to someone else.

My fiancée and I switched primary care physicians to Dr. Mainali here, just a couple months ago…read morefollowing a move. We've each been twice so far, and are very pleased. It's a small office, but the receptionist was helpful and friendly. Dr. Mainali himself was very thorough in our first visit, really listening to what we had to say as well as his test results. We felt valued as people, not just as paying customers. He was very helpful when our blood test results came back, in not just telling us the problems, but going through every line of the results (full of acronyms and medical lingo we wouldn't understand on our own) and explaining what everything meant, and why we might care. For many procedures, this small 1-doctor office (he's planning to add a second soon) will have to refer you to others. So, don't expect a hospital-like experience where they can handle everything you could possibly need in the same building. For everything that can be done in-house, though, Everest Healthcare and Dr. Mainali come highly recommended.

Dr. Chun is very educated, informative, and respectful to his patients. Additionally, all of the front desk staff and nurses are kind, personable, and professional. Any of my concerns are addressed with the upmost care. Despite Massachusetts being an area dense with top rated medical care, you'd be shocked to know how many ob-gyn are quick to shrug their patients off, thus resulting in awful outcomes for mothers and infants. Dr. Chun's expertise, coupled with the wonderfully pleasant demeanor of the staff, create nothing short of a 5 star experience.

LoisAnn appreciated her expertise and abilities as a professional, but most importantly her understanding and confidentiality given to the patient.

He evaluated my dad whose residence in an Assisted Living was being challenged. I was surprised to find a doctor who wasn't shy to do the right thing by his patients. The first doctor I ever visited who has a sign on the office door which reads: "Drug Company Representatives, DO NOT ENTER". I have personally thrown drug company reps out of a doctors office, when they wanted to see the doctor prior to me. Then I apologized to the doctor for misbehaving. The doctor stood up, shook my hand, and asked me how I did that, because he had tried to do that for years. Well, doc, I told them I would write to the CEO of Lilly and the FDA, making a complaint about their marketing practices interfering with patient care and how they don't care about the public in treatment. I also let some stuff spill out of my mouth from my diamond turned titanium tongue, I don't really remember the exact words, but I got in the rep's face and didn't stop until she was out of you waiting room door. Doc, just have them wait until you are done with your patients. They won't stay until you are available. You could also have me stand sentry.

This experience raises concerns about the necessity of the treatments he recommended. He's a biller, he's going to have you in as much as possible, and keep you going. And finally his arrogance is unparalleled, I first starting seeing him at a low point in my life, he's talking about his new 5k watch, literally flexing in front of me, and talking about himself saying he could have done anything he wanted in life as a career because of how smart he was.

The entire business is greedy, dishonest, and fraudulent, and we have been most dissatisfied for years but couldn't find another PCP.

Prior to this he told me to come in and do some lactose testing, which i did, months later. The secretary administered my test. THE SECRETARY! Then they charged me for both tests when i only got one. He never called me after the colonoscopy or the testing to follow up or maybe find a way to solve my problem. and this is after SEVERAL phone calls to him.I left many messages with no return.
