Dr. Brown was understanding and kind. He showed concern and knowledge of the low quality of life I have been stuck living at a young age due this syndrome before I even described anything to him. I appreciated that he truly grasped where I am physically, mentally, and emotionally due to Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. I appreciated his relaxed attitude and posture during our discussion and how he allowed me to ask some questions more than once for clarity. 10/10 recommend.
