    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.

    Dr. McKenzie and the resident were extremely kind, listened to my concerns and were able to give me an explanation for the health issues I am experiencing. It has taken multiple physician visits over the course of more than 3 years to get someone who listened to me and finally give me a diagnosis. It is extremely sad that it took this long but thank you Dr. McKenzie!
