The nurse took my gpa's blood pressure and it was 195. When Dr. Brown came in, my gpa asked him about it. He dismissed my gpa's concern saying it was probably a mistake, but did nothing to confirm his BS assumption. My gpa is an old man, disagnosed with high blood pressure (he takes meds for it) and recently had a stint put in. WHY would it be a mistake? When he got back to the nursing home (he drove), the nurses took his blood pressure and it was then dangerously high at over 200. In addition, Dr. Brown did a crappy job on his ears and was in and out of the room within 10 min. Dr. Brown is either lazy or just plain incompetent. Either way, he's dangerous and I would steer clear.

In approx. 2005, my young son had a tonsillectomy with Dr. Brown, and within a night or two of being home was choking on blood in his sleep and had to be rushed to the ER. It still chills me when I think of how he came into our room and we sent him back to bed the first time without realizing what was going on. I don't know how common this is, but it seems something out of a botched job or another century. There wasn't any real explanation that I can recall, but it was presented as a possible "side effect." If it is that common, I would think twice about having a tonsillectomy for a young child because had I known, the risk was not worth it. I'm posting so many years later because I still think about it and we were so young ourselves we just kind of went along with what we were told and didn't know what else to do. This kind of result should be on a dr.'s record somewhere, no matter how well-intentioned and professional he was. Thank you.

We were seen promptly and quickly which was great with two small children. Tubes put in our 16 month old after too many ear infections to count. What a change in our child! Took out tonsils and adenoids in our 4.5 year old. No more snoring. Dr Brown and the Lakeview SurgeryCenter are great with kids!
