Overall Experience
141 Reviews
Dr. Brown is an amazing oncologist. She always takes the time to understand how I'm feeling and to address any concerns that I have. It is clear that she cares deeply about her patients at every phase of cancer treatment. She was wonderful when we were first navigating the best approach to treatment and she is still wonderful 2.5 years later when she continues to respond to my concerns and questions. She's also smart open to other opinions and treats her patients as individuals. It's fantastic to have this quality of care on the peninsula.
