Christine Brown, MD

I spent an hour and twenty minutes in this office this morning. About 5 were spent with Dr. Brown’s PA and about 3 were spent with the Dr. herself. The rest was me waiting. She didnt greet me and said something about being in surgery — clearly I wasnt a priority. That’s fine, I have mild (but annoying) acne that had recurred after 10 years of acne free living! She prescribed 5 things, one was a prescription and 4 were from her skin care line. She listed off the 4 from her line by name, but gave no explanation of their benefits, etc. I was handed a card with the schedule to follow and a brochure about the products and told that the total for the products was $ 185.00. It was up to the front desk to try and answer the questions I still had! I did not purchase any of the products at all and left empty handed.
The PA was VERY nice, but I feel like I wasted my $ 30 copay and 2 hours of my day and now I have to find another dermatologist and take time off work, etc. I dont have terrible acne, but I would have still appreciated my time being valued and feeling like a patient. I wont be returning. Disheartened.

Office staff is EXTREMELY RUDE! I went in for an overall skin check. The doctor didn’t even say «Hi!». She walked right past me and spoke to her assistant the whole time, used terms I didn’t understand and went straight into cosmetic procedures. I agree with the negative posts on this feed.

I came to Dr Brown because I was worried about a spot that came up on my foot. When Dr brown came into the exam room, she was talking to the nurse, didn’t say hi to me or introduce herself, but proceeded to talk to the nurse about my mole and if it was changing it not. Hello! I’m right here! I’m the patient! I also wanted a skin cancer check over my body since I have fair skin and a history of skin cancer in my family. She took all of maybe 2 minutes to look at my whole body and said I was fine. Didn’t look in my scalp or ears or neck. I felt extremely rushed during the visit. Horrible bedside manner and subpar skin check. I won’t go back to her again.

I think DR Brown is a good doctor, she is not friendly and I don’t care about that as long as you resolve my issues. Now, I don’t really like her personal line for acne it doesn’t work for me. I’ve tried it twice and no results. My bad experience is I ‘ve been there on my lunch and then sat there over an hour and then I was told we don’t accept your insurance at least three time three different insurance companies and three different visits. I was very upset, but the last time I went to her office I had to throw a fit just to see the doctor. She is a good doctor with a rude staff. My great experience, So I was sick for like 6 months with some kind of bacteria disease that cause me lose most of my hair. After 6 doctors– Christine Brown finally help resolve the issue. So my advice is be prepared to be piss off every-​time about something but you should get results.

Visiting Dr. Brown’s office was like being in a cattle call. It is obvious that they pile up as many customers as they can to maximize profits. Gave the benefit of the doubt the first time I went, as sometimes doctors fall behind schedule, so I went back a second time and after sitting in the waiting area 1 hour and 15 minutes after my appointment time without being called I decided to walk out. Never again.

I came here because I was experiencing side effects from one of my medications. Christine’s nurse was very sweet and treated me like a person and asked all sorts of questions. Her nurse acted more like a doctor than Christine Brown. When Christine walked in she was very rude to me, did not ask any questions, and just grabbed my head and pushed it down to look at my scalp without saying anything. I have never had such a horrible experience during a doctor’s visit in my entire life. I definitely will not be returning and advice you find a different dermatologist if you need to see one.

I just wish that I read the reviews on Unilocal before going here !!! I’m so upset worst dr ever all the reviews here are correct avoid going here. Waited 1 hour for 8 seconds worth of dr time wasn’t able to ask any questions the dr seemed very cold and like everyone else was told to buy her products which are over priced now I’m sitting writing this review while my skin condition worsens looking for a new doctor to go to.
Zero stars.

After moving to Dallas, and based on the stellar zocdoc online reviews of Dr. Brown as a dermatologist, I chose her. I must say that I am hugely disappointed, and I believe she lacks glaringly when compared to several dermatologists I’ve used in the past. Also, somewhat separately, I found their seeming focus on finance above all else discomforting and galling. Of course, when I saw the outrageous prices she passed along to the insurance company for the services performed, I understood why. As for patient care, I was not impressed… and will not return. I used her three times — no more!
Full body exam — Dr. Brown seems to take an arms length approach, conducting what I considered a cursory exam, rather than a full, detailed, and comprehensive search for any worrying signs on the skin. She literally conducted her exam at arms length. The exam was far less detailed than other annual (now bi-​annual) exams performed by other dermatologists. Her exam did not cover my entire body, which one would think, would do just that. Again, an example of a cursory exam and her disinterest.
Compounding the issue with the exam was that she first sent in her nurse practicioner to conduct the exam. My response to the nurse’s polite query was an emphatic NO. I was paying for an experienced Medical Doctor to conduct the exam, not a nurse. Imagine, Dr. Brown tried to delegate the full body scan to her nurse! Come to think of it, maybe I would have been better off with the nurse!
Overall, she is cold and lacks compassion, and I sensed a lack of enthusiasm by Dr. Brown to engage with me, the patient, about my skin. Given that I’ve had 3 areas of squamous cell carcinoma, numerous basil cell, and many, many areas of keratosis over the past 4 years — all of them removed, I found her lack of engagement and disinterest incredibly egregious.
Don’t waste your time, and potentially save your life — go elsewhere!

I had a LARGE melanoma removed from my face by Dr. Brown. The incision was nearly 4 inches long, from just below my left eye down to my jaw. I was terrified that I would look like I was in a knife fight the rest of my life, because I was going to have a horrible scar. Dr. Brown did such a good job on the surgery and my recovery that today you cannot see the scar unless you look very closely. It was truly amazing. I do not know how she did it but she did. I am indebted to her for her incredible work.
PS I am a grown man and don’t have acne, so I cannot comment on that facet of her practice, but she did right by me, and I ‘preciate her.

I had a terrible experience with Dr. Christine Brown. Although her office may appear to be über-​professional with spiffy marketing materials and shiny plaques lining the walls, Dr. Brown runs her office much more like a saleswoman than an actual doctor. I came to her with a mild case of acne and expected to leave with a prescription or two; but after she left the room, her nurse returned only with a long list of «products» that I was supposed to buy… from her *directly*. Bear in mind that most of these products were from her own special skincare line. They were quite expensive ($ 150 total), but since she was my doctor, I trusted her and bought the products.
After one use of each of the products, my skin reacted violently to the strong chemicals in the products and I proceeded to peel (quite painfully) for about four days until I was able to see her again. Upon our next discussion, she tried once again to «sell» her products to me and even attempted to blame me for misuse… but when I told her I simply wanted my money back, she wouldn’t even recommend another medication or engage in a discussion with me.
All she said was, «Well, that’s your choice» — and left the room. Not even a «good-​bye» or «All the best»…I mean, yikes! Can you even call her a doctor?

I also wish I had read some reviews on here before booking an appointment. I was looking for a dermatologist fairly close to my home in Dallas, and Christine Brown was one of the first names to pop up in my search. The office called me the next morning to book my appointment, and it was easy to get an appointment in the same week (but now I know why!).
First off, her office seems to specialize more so in COSMETIC Dermatology. As a fellow educated professional, I did some research as far as her board certification goes and other reviews and specialties. I did not think to look on Unilocal however. I honestly had high hopes and was expecting more than a 3 minute exam and diagnosis. She looked at my skin, asked the nurse «let’s see what samples we have to give her to knock this out». After reading reviews about wrong diagnoses and medicine, I am hesitant to use what they prescribed me!
While Dr. Brown seemed pleasant, it was more obvious that she was more interested in selling her products and cosmetic dermatology than in her normal, everyday patients who are suffering from everyday skin issues. At least she was friendly, as well as her nurse. I did not mind the staff, they seemed friendly as well. Sadly, I have been super dissappointed :(and will not be returning.
Maybe Dr. Brown is good for anything cosmetic dermatology related, but I would NOT recommend going to her for any other dermatology issues.

In addendum to my review from yesterday — I saw a family MD today and he diagnosed me with a condition, angioedema, and explained to me the seriousness of the condition — anaphylactic shock/​death. You would THINK the dermatologist would know this! This lady is awful and I hope this review serves it’s purpose and saves someone from a HORRIBLE experience with her! I literally could have died and she simply sent me away with a topical gel to apply to my lips — no steroids prescribed to be quick acting and/​or taken by mouth — not even a shot! Hate I was fooled by her credentials and «certifications». My advice: DO NOT use her products — she only knows what they «should» correct, but does not know what to if adverse reactions occur. Not only did I lose close to $ 200 in this clinic, but I also lost time away from work and grief from my family and friends considering I am traveling ALONE and I was by myself as ALL of this occurred. I won’t post pics because I really looked awful — all I can say, lesson. learned! #smh

Not a pleasant experience and I won’t be back. Waited 30 minutes after my appointment time before I even saw the doctor and no one apologized or even acknowledged it. Dr. Brown was rude and condescending… I came in complaining of acne and requesting a specific medication which I’d used successfully in the past but instead she suggested I switch my makeup (and purchase one sold in house) and also purchase an array of her in house products. She was very snappy and asked me a lot of detailed questions about my specific makeup products, and gave me a dirty look when I didn’t know the answer. She finally wrote me the prescription (reluctantly) and I left.

Rude staff, answered my direct questions with evasive answers «depends on the doctor», «If the doctor decides». I’ll pass on this one.

Only had one visit to this office and I was treated like a cash machine. The doctor is in the room with me for a total of 7 minutes, did a very quick examination of my skin and immediately started rattling off medication for me to buy to her nurse, not even explaining anything to me! Of course, she’s saying all of this as she’s heading for the door, eager to move on to the next sucker. I had to call her back twice to ask her opinion on other issues I was having. Later, I sent an email asking a few basic questions on other procedures and a week went by with no response. Find someone else who actually cares about their patients, not just their wallets.

Dr. Brown is an excellent Mohs Surgeon. She did an incredible job of repairing a bad scarring from another doctor’s botched surgical procedure where the skin cancer had returned. I wish I had know about her before I went to this other doctor! I will never go to this other doctor again and will return to Dr. Brown for future Mohs surgeries and other skin needs.

Office staff is very rude. The doctor is also rude and if you go there please understand that it is not about the best service or medical needs for you but it is all about the money. You will be over charged and if you have a question about the charges you will not be given an answer. Go to a different doctor if you want to be treated with any kind of respect.

The office staff is so incredible rude. I have emailed the office about their staff several months ago and no one bothered to respond.
I’ve been using their skin care for over a year and I’ve noticed a pattern. Many times I order products online, and it never shows. When I call the office they say 1^st it’s on back order and I need to wait. Then when it doesn’t arrive and I call back, they treat me like I’m running a scam and tell me they never charged my account when I watched it clear! They tell me they have no record of the order and I must go back and research my account from 2 months prior. This has happened more than once!!!
Did I mention how incredibly rude these people are?

OK, the poor Irish nose took another hit, and I’m back again for Mohs surgery after another BCC is discovered. I did NOT return to Dr. Brown, but instead went to another physician who I’ll review elsewhere. What I learned fro him, however, was that the skin graft on my nose that Christine Brown did was not the best repair available. Cancer gone from the site, yes — but not an aesthetically pleasing repair. The skin which was taken from my temple for the graft was not the same color or texture, and it looks like a pale erasure head right onthe tip of my nose. It always needs makeup.
If you have the misfortune to need Mohs surgery, put yourself in the hands of a competant plastic surgeon to do the repair. One who knows what he’s doing! Better yet, find a Mohs surgeon who is also a plastic surgeon for better results and peace of mind across the board.
