Adam Brown was a good listener, a great communicator, and very kind. He was extremely collaborative and took my preferences into consideration. He took the time to understand my complex medical history and shared decision making moving forward. I would absolutely recommend him to those looking for a rheumatologist especially for anyone dealing with lupus.

This was my first time meeting with Dr. Brown. He was awesome. Gave me great exam. Discussed medications, reviewed prior history. Spent long time talking to me to lean more about my PTSD, depression history. Very impressed, reminded me that if I ever needed help he could also get me resources. I'd give him a 110%.

The doctor asks for me to return in 3 months, on multiple occasions, but there's nothing available. I usually have to go 4+ months out just to get an appointment. I drive from Youngstown, OH and prefer early, first thing in the morning, appointments and typically cannot get one.

After roughly an hour with the intake medical practitioner under the very bright lights and in such a small room, I was basically unable to communicate effectively with the doctor. I was a hyperstimulated mess and unable to mask my tendency to talk extremely fast. The 1/2 I spent with Dr. Brown would have been more effective in an environment that didn't make me sick. I was sick for two whole days after because of those bright lights in the medical room, and it took me over a week to fully recover.

Dr. Brown was both courteous and highly knowledgeable in his field. He suspected I had a rare autoimmune disease called Systemic Scleroderma. He tested me for several autoimmune diseases and I tested positive for Systemic Scleroderma. I have suffered for years and now I have an answer.
