Marie Brown, MD

Dr. Brown is genuinely a very wonderful doctor, I have met many who are not equipped with the soft skills to be a human being in that role, and she always makes me feel heard and understood. Everyone I have worked with at Oaklawn Albion has been great. [NAME] is also wonderful at her role.

Overall my experience with Dr. Brown has always been positive her nurse Ashlynn is always so sweet & helpful! These ladies are the best.

The MA took my blood pressure over my sweatshirt sleeve.

My first time being there. I was happy with all of the staff.

I have recommended my health care provider

Very satisfied with everything.

Good

Thank you for such a great medical team Close to where I work & live.

Our experience with Dr. Brown and the staff at Oaklawn has been nothing short of great. We are welcomed with open arms as the staff recognizes us, and our visits are always thorough, and always warm and extremely friendly and relaxed.

I strinhly believe that I have been receiving excellent services from my doctor specifically and the entire Oaklawn clinical/ hospital team in general

Todo la atenci?n fue excelente

I'm happy with the care provided and the location in albion.

Excellent staff

Overall good job in providing whatever was needed.

I always take one of my adult children to my appt. Dr. Brown is really good about explaining what I need to be doing ____ so they can reinforce what I need to do.

The time was kinda fast. My provider didn't really give me answers to my questions but she does any other time. She's a good provider though.

This visit was for a follow up after IUD insertion. I did express concerns about the extreme pain I experienced during insertion, and did not feel it was taken seriously. For reference, if I'd been asked to rate the pain, it easily was a 9. I nearly passed out during the procedure, then sat in my car crying outside of the office due to extreme cramping. It took over 20 minutes for the cramping to let up enough that I felt I could drive home. At the insertion visit, I asked about pre-treatment with pain medications, specifically, lidocaine which is now guideline recommended. I was told that very few providers in this area utilize lidocaine or other pain management options. I do feel that the pain of this procedure is wildly underestimated and pain expectations are not set well with patients. Specifically, I was told by the nurse and the physician that they had fair painless IUD insertions, so "it shouldn't be that bad." After expressing additional concern about the pain at this visit, I was told "it's hard to set pain expectations because it varies so much." While I understand pain varies, setting a more realistic expectation based on women's individual health history is crucial, ESPECIALLY for women who have not had children. Case reports consistently show this procedure is extremely painful and pain management is virtually nonexistent - hence the updated guideline recommendations. Women who have had children typically report a less painful experience given their cervix has been dilated in the past. I will not return to this office for follow-up and plan to go elsewhere for the removal in several years. I hope by then, Oaklawn will have caught up with current pain management strategies for women's health. FYI - I am a pharmacist, so healthcare is familiar territory. I hope this comment will be taken into consideration when providing care to future patients.

I liked this doctor very much for meeting her for the first time.

A very good doctor

I will always recommend the hospital for any procedures/surgeries and the doctors because they are considerate and caring.

I feel Dr. Brown truly cares about my wellbeing.

I was very happy and comfortable with what I was told about my treatment and increased my confidence in what my doctor and her assistant said.

I had an appointment today. I was very pleased with my Doctor!

I feel very fortunate having Dr. Brown has my Dr.

I was told I would be able to pick up a prescription that evening (Friday), but it had not been called in to the pharmacy in time. When I called the office, it was closed but I got the after hours on-call line, where I had to wait for over ten minutes to talk to someone, and then he dismissed my concerns and told me I would have to wait until Monday, since it was a prescription. (I had low hemoglobin & Dr. Brown wanted me to get started on iron right away.)On the other hand, Dr. Brown obviously checks her messages over the weekend & she read mine and called my prescription in herself. So I am happy with her. Not sure who dropped the ball in the office, though.

Switched from [NAME] to Oaklawn about two years ago vary pleased I did

I like having doctor marie brown as my doctor.

They're just good people! And thank them. They don't get thanked enough.

She took the time to talk to me and make a plan to figure out what's going on with me. Finally found a dr who might fix my problems
