Brown Sheldon C MD

I saw Dr. Brown about many many years ago and I’m so glad there is Unilocal now so I can write a review. Apparently the same lady who was his office manager back then is still his office manager today. Totally rude and incompetent and not someone who you want to be handling your billing and insurance questions.
Dr. Brown was treating me for a broken bone. Boy was that a mistake. Went into the surgery thinking it was going to be a simple set-​n-​forget and came out of the surgery with parts of my bone taken from another part of my body and a full-​on bone graft. BOY WAS I SHOCKED WHEN I WOKE UP!!! When it was time to take the staples and drainage tube out, he just yanked the drainage tube out and threw it on the floor. Are we dealing with a medical professional here or a auto mechanic?
The recovery was the worst part. I hadn’t healed in OVER A YEAR and Dr. Brown wasn’t exactly very receptive to my requests for cast changes. One period, he refused to change my cast and I had the same cast for months. A stinky, decaying cast. I asked him, when is this going to heal, and all he could say was «we need to give it more time.» Later, I would find out from the next surgeon that my bone was decaying and I had to have another surgery sooner than later. Very different than Dr. Brown’s advice to hang tight.
I decided enough was enough and changed doctors. The next doctor had me in surgery weeks later and I was healed in 5 – 6 weeks. Some may think this is coincidence but in those 6 weeks I had 2 cast changes and everything was way more professional.
Unilocal was not around back then and I’m glad I searched so I could write this review. Avoid this guy.

OH MY GOD. Do not go near this office with a barge pole. They billed insurance too late so insurance won’t pay and now they are asking us to!!! Not only that the woman in the billing office (Judy) is the rudest, most disrespectful support staff person we have EVER had the misfortune to deal with. Sheldon = you need new staff!!!
