I had a breast augmentation 20 years ago with a physician in NYC. I was never happy with the turnout and I always wanted to redo them. I’ve received numerous referrals but it was not until I met Dr. Brown by chance that I instantly knew he would be the one to correct everything and give me my confidence back… I would recommend him to anyone and everyone who wants an expert plastic surgeon with a heart of gold to match. He’s extremely intelligent, he listens, he’s caring, he’s artistic and wants the best possible outcome for all of his patients.

Dr. Brown is highly skilled, so gentle and always has your best interest at heart! I’ve been getting Botox and injectables from Dr. Brown for a few years now and before him, I’ve tried other local plastic surgeons in the area and he is the best in the business! Botox and injectables truly are an art form and once you’ve had bad prior outcomes you will know when you find a good highly skilled surgeon who is good at what they do!! …

Dr. Brown was very friendly and easy to work with. The pain was not bad at all, and the procedure was very quick. My face was a little red afterward with lines where the device was used, but this quickly subsided the next day. I did this as a preventative treatment for minor facial laxity, and the results were very subtle if any. I would say overall it was worth it, and I was very satisfied with the treatment and care I received from Dr. Brown and his staff.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Brown’s for more than 15 years using his daily skincare products and having a few surgical procedures. His professionalism, knowledge, talent and bedside manner can’t be matched. He is honest and gives suggestions that lead to realistic outcomes that look natural and amazing…

I started with Dr. Brown in my early 60’s. I am now 80 and really look very good. My mother had pretty bad skin at a young age; and were it not for Dr. Brown, I would look very differently. He did many procedures. All of them were done perfectly. He is a lovely man with tons of talent!!!!!

Just as I expected my experience with Dr. Brown was absolutely amazing. During my research, I had only found a couple doctors I was considering to do my breast augmentation. Dr. Brown really stood out from his peers and I knew I had to schedule a consultation with him. During my consultation, he was very honest and very detailed and passionate to my needs. I was very impressed on his knowledge…
