Columbia Breast Clinic: John P.W. Brown, MD

"I was scared for breast cancer diagnosis! Called they saw me the same day. Helped ease my mind!Dr Browns and his nurse was so kind and understanding!"

"Dr Brown is a kind and compassionate doctor. He is also a talented surgeon. He and Jennifer made my diagnosis much easier on me by giving me hope. I definitely recommend him."

"First off I want to say this review is souly being posted in regards to Dr .Brown. The woman doctor (I don't remember her name) was absolutely amazing and understanding and helpful. Dr. Brown made me very uncomfortable and accused me of lying about my family history. As soon as he came into the room he put his hands on my legs and was rubbing my thighs and would not remove his hands up until the time he left the room. I went in for a breast exam /follow up appointment after an ultrasound. They asked me about my family history with breast cancer(which runs on my mother's side of the family) I told them the history and that 4 of my family members had breast cancer .Dr Brown spoke to me like i I was stupid and tried talking me out of a biopsy. He said (regarding my family history) "you have a significant family history, if it's even true" and then proceeded to say "are you sure those people have breast cancer" I am speechless at his unprofessionalism .I suggest going elsewhere .please."

"He basically told my wife that he didn’t want to do anything for her since it was outside his experience and that she would just have to deal with the pain. He also had to take out his hearing aids to listen to her breathe (I.E. he might be a little to old to be practicing). My wife just felt totally brushed off by him, like it wasn’t a big deal all the pain she’s been in. Of course it’s not a big deal to him, since he’s never had to experience the pain! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GOING ELSEWHERE, based off my wife’s experience."

"Dr Brown has been very compassionate and understanding of me as his patient. He encourages even if I refuse but respects my wishes. I wish there were more doctors that actually listened to his patients like he does."
