Brown Andrea V MD PA

I see there are not many reviews for Dr. Brown’s office on Unilocal and that is not surprising considering the average age of her patient: I doubt that many of them know Unilocal exist. Dr. Brown’s staff is polite enough, but the business overall has some business practices that are deplorable. Several times I would go to the pharmacy to get a prescription filled only to find out it could not be filled. This is really a problem for me since I don’t go to get meds until absolutely necessary. I would always be told to call my Doctor and the office would always tell me they in order to get the medication, I needed to come in for an appointment. I would set an appointment for 5 to 8 days later and nothing further would be done. I could never understand why if my prescription was expired and I had to see Dr. Brown to continue them, why didn’t someone call me prior to me running out. Also, why did it never seem to matter to her office that I would be out of essential medications for days – I understand it is dangerous to just stop taking blood pressure medication. They would not even approve a small supply to hold me over until my appointment. I eventually and gladly found a new doctor who I am quite pleased with. Dr. Brown seems to be quite established in such a way that it has fostered an environment of complacency in her practice – I would not recommend her to anyone.

I love Dr. Brown’s office. I’ve been coming here since I was 17 and I am in my early 30s now. As a matter of fact, I always suggest her office to people who are looking for a new provider.
Dr. Brown really seems to specialize in women’s health, especially African American women. She is really big on nutrition and living a healthy, active lifestyle starting exactly where you are. She won’t beat you over the head with facts and approaches all of her patients as more of a partner in health, which is the respect I demand in all health providers. Dr. Brown’s staff is super friendly and will try to help you get an appointment even if she is booked up, and if you can’t see Dr. Brown, you are still in great hands with Nurse Debra who is the PRN on staff. I LOVE HER! She is so much fun to talk to and is really caring and knowledgeable.
So if you are looking for a doctor who is not a jerk and who actually cares, I strongly suggest Dr. Brown. She is the business!
