Daniel Brown, MD

Very happy with Dr. Brown’s work. I had a breast augmentation and the results are extremely natural looking. Of course my friends know that I have an enlarged chest, but I’ve received nothing but compliments on how appealing & natural looking they are. Also, recovery was a breeze. His staff is very welcoming and caring — they were great before, day of and also after the procedure. I’m going back for a consultation regarding rhinoplasty soon.

My chest has always been large, and by the time I saw Dr. Brown (at 21 years old) I was a GG cup. My chest looked a little ridiculous with my frame (5’5″, 160lbs), and it was causing all the classic shoulder/​neck/​back/​posture issues, not to mention a slew of mental/​self-​esteem issues as well. One day I just woke up and knew it was time to find a surgeon and get this done.
I met with other surgeons, but I knew as soon as I had my consultation that Dr. Brown was the surgeon for me. I was completely comfortable with him and his staff, who were all absolutely wonderful. We went through some issues with insurance and the whole staff was amazing. Melanie Mason, the Patient Care Coordinator, was especially supportive and always helpful. She even gave me her cell number to call or text with any questions.
Dr. Brown was very calm and comforting, and I was very comfortable around him even as he had to measure and take photos of my chest before the surgery. The procedure itself went as smoothly as possible; I was up and walking the next day and off of the pain meds in three days. The work he did was phenomenal – my chest is completely symmetrical and I went down six whole cup sizes (a pound off of each side!). The incisions were neat and are already starting to look like thin scars after just three weeks. Dr. Brown also gave my mother and I his cell number so that I could text or call if there were any issues in the first few weeks. He always responded within the hour and was always very patient with me.
Overall, Dr. Brown was absolutely amazing and is still helping me to heal well with minimal scarring. He and his staff are amazing, and I couldn’t have asked for a more positive experience.

Dr. Brown is a true gem. I have been seeing him for several years and am consistently blown away by the results he achieves. He is extremely professional, yet at the same time has an incredibly warm and sincere demeanor. He listens to your concerns and then makes a recommendation, yet never attempts to oversell anything. His approach is a «less is more approach,» which results in a naturally improved appearance, rather than an artificial one. He also does all of his own injections, which is a rarity in this business. Dr. Brown is the perfect balance of scientist and artist.
His office is staffed by incredibly kind and caring people. He is definitely one of southern California’s best cosmetic surgeons.

Dr. Brown and his staff are exceptionally good. I have been very satisfied with the results of my procedures. I trust Dr. Brown and am so happy that I found him.

Dr. Brown and his staff are absolutely amazing! I had a rather extensive procedure done in May and I could not be more happy with my results. I still have some swelling that I was told could take up to a year to go away, I can only imagine how much better they will look in a year from now! Dr. Brown was very attentive to my needs and wants. He was straight forward, professional and mostly, made me very comfortable. I have met with 4 other doctors and I know I made the right choice by choosing Dr. Brown. I have been and will continue to refer anyone to Dr. Brown. Thank you again Dr. Brown!!!

Had such an amazing experience with Dr. Brown and his staff. I went in for a breast augmentation & couldn’t be more happy. It took me almost a year to find a doc. I liked/​trusted & I’m glad I didn’t settle with the first consultation/​first doctor I went to go see. Dr. Brown is someone I’ve started to recommend to my gf’s who are thinking about getting work done. I highly recommend seeing more then one doctor before deciding which would be best for you, but have no doubt you will end up in Dr. Browns office

I had a breast reduction by Dr. Brown, and I couldn’t be happier. He is not only delightful to work with, but is a true artist and perfectionist. I was understandably hesitant to have surgery, but after looking at several of his before and after pictures, I decided he was the best I’d seen. And sure enough. I am an extremely satisfied patient! My new perky «C“s are beautiful! I’ve recommended him to all my friends, and I highly recommend him to you.

I went to Dr. Brown for a second opinion appointment after I had a complication from lip injections from another health care professional. Dr. Brown was very professional he was also very personable. He just sat down and talked to me and really took his time and made me feel so comfortable. I really felt like he was listening to my worries and concerns about my health. He was very knowledgeable and explained things to me in a way that I could understand. If your looking for a genuine, kind, intelligent, talented and down to earth plastic surgeon (which is very rare and hard to find in this specialty) give Dr. Brown a call!

I want to thank Dr. Brown for making my dream come true. My whole life i was suffering from heavy breasts. Not only is he a great doctor, he is a great human being. He is not a salesman, he actually cares about his patients. I am really happy with the results. Thank you Dr. Brown

Dr Brown and I actually met through a professional affiliation and I know him not just as a doctor but as a business owner. It is a hard thing to find someone who is great at his practice and great at customer service and business. I believe Dr Brown is one of the best in San Diego at both. I come from a long line of physicians in my family and know good ones when I spot them. I would highly recommend anyone to Dr Brown if they are looking for plastic surgery in La Jolla, San Diego or Coronado. He is great and I am very happy to now know him!

I am pretty sure that I found my doctor! I am interested in a mommy makeover and after I left his office I was so relieved. I went to another surgeon the previous day in Del Mar and did not have a good experience. Dr. Brown was so nice, professional yet personable in a way where you really feel like you can trust this guy with your life. Plastic surgery is a big deal so rather than being impulsive, I am still having two more consults but I have a good feeling he will be the one! It is kind of like a marriage, when you meet the one, you just know. His staff is so friendly too and not in a fake way either. His before and afters that he showed me were very impressive and best of all, he is pretty affordable/​reasonable!

Dr. Brown is top notch. He and his staff, especially Chanel and Kristie, handled every aspect of my breast reduction with professionalism and positivity. They were instrumental in communicating with my insurance company, which approved the procedure on the first try. The surgery day was calm and easy, post op went great, no surprises. He was even pleasant when I called his personal number late at night with some nervous concerns! The results, after 4 weeks, are better than I could have hoped for. They say this type of surgery has a high satisfaction rate, and indeed I am very satisfied. It was easier and less painful than I expected, which I attribute to Dr. Brown and his staff. I give them my highest recommendation!

I received a breast reduction from Dr. Brown. I was so impressed with his professionalism and confidence that it gave me the reassurance I needed for undergoing such an invasive surgery. After so much research, I knew he was the doctor for me. My results were SO MUCH MORE than I ever expected from my procedure. I HIGHLY recommend this man for any cosmetic procedure you’re considering! He is absolutely BRILLIANT!!! I literally cant say enough good things about this Doctor!!! Ive already recommended TWO friends and they are extremely satisfied! His staff are just as top notch! They literally helped me though all the insurance headache and I could’t have had this done without his staff! Christina was absolutely fabulous to work with! Thank you Dr. Brown and staff!

I had implants a little over 2 years by Dr. Brown who came HIGHLY recommended to me. He was very pleasant and seemed like a perfectionist during my consult. I was very impressed with him and his staff. After my procedure I was VERY displeased with the results, and come to find out he hadn’t done what we had talked about in our consultation. I had had implants previously and was very clear to him the outcome I wanted to achieve. He assured me that those were achievable and completely failed to deliver. After contacting him and going to several post op appointments he was only willing to «Fix» HIS mistakes with more $$$$. Also I had several friends go to him and 2 of the 3 were unhappy as well. I would NOT recommend him to my worst enemy.

First of all, I am a real patient with real concerns and everything that comes with a plastic surgery like the fear and the curiosity and the skepticism. I am almost a foreigner so I am writing this review only to give an idea to you about how perfect he is.
Yes he is perfect and he is a perfectionist. These are two different things and he is both! He was the first doctor I went to consult about my case and I didn’t want to see any other doctor since I knew I would only trust my life with him. He listens to you, makes every effort possible to calm you down and put you at ease so that you feel as confident as he does. I am a very quick decision maker. I am a yes or no person, I don’t like to dig in to justify my first impressions. I told him right away that I am not window shopping for my health.
I know how difficult it is to recommend a doctor especially if it involves an operation room but please take my words seriously: He is the best in town! maybe in the country. He deserves it and I will put all my effort to say he does. It is not easy to combine all aspects of a profession like his and it is not cheap either. This gentleman probably spent his most precious years studying and now it will only get better after where he is right now.
Please don’t look any further. Don’t waste your time researching and browsing the internet.
He is a top notch, excellent, very proficient surgeon with a very down to earth personality.
I am thrilled to have known him and yes I take pride in my decision to have put my life in his hands.
Lastly, I must mention about his team as well. His assistants, nurses, colleagues he works with in the OR. They are chosen only to add positiveness to the whole experience.
Thank you Dr. Brown.
It’s an honor to be your patient.

Dr. Brown was my first plastic surgeon. I was really nervously before coming in. I had researched and researched doctors. He was the first one that I visited. And he was amazing from the time I met him till my last check up. It’s been over 7 months since I’ve gotten lipo. I feel like he did such an amazing job. I’m no longer in California, but when I do decide to get anything else done, I’ll be coming to this beautiful island to make sure he works on me. His receptionist are also incrediblely nice. They all truly make you feel welcomed! So even though I’m all the way in Florida, I can not wait to go back to Dr. Brown!!! Thank you guys for being so wonderful!!!

I’ve been to several doctors and Dr. Brown puts me at ease. I am comfortable with him and the results I’ve experienced while working with him are the best.
He is a plastic surgeon, he knows what the procedures he offers can and can’t do. I never feel like I am being sold anything. He’s expensive but quality usually is and there are others who charge more so know that you aren’t being taken for the most expensive ride out there.
Now I just need to make another appointment…

I was nervous when I finally decided to get liposuction, but Dr. Brown put me at ease. I had plenty of time to talk with him about my goals, and the procedure, and the results thus far have been amazing. I can’t wait ti be out of this compression garment and in a bathing suit!
Getting an hour to set down and talk with the doctor about what you’re exact wants/​needs are was really nice. The medical assistant was super professional, and answered any questions I had from the start. Dr. Brown took the time to explain the procedure, recovery, and expectations.
After surgery I had a question regarding what exactly I could return to exercise wise (I take pilates and weight training courses) so I sent his office an email. I was shocked by how fast Dr. Brown himself replied! he broke down all of the different workouts I like to do, into a time frame in which I would be cleared to do them.
I also got a prescription for Retin-​A, and purchased some more Latisse. (I’ve used Latisse for a while, but was happy to buy it from Dr. Brown!) The Retin-​A was interesting at first, I peeled just like Dr. Brown said I would, but now my skin is glowing! I’ll definitely be using this product for a long time to come.

It wasn’t a recent decision that I wanted to get a rhinoplasty, I had always been uncomfortable with my nose. It’s not that it was particularly awful, I just never thought it suited myself, or my face. Only recently though, has actually doing this procedure become more real, when I knew I wouldn’t JUST be thinking about it anymore, I knew I was going to do it.
So I looked into doctors, found Dr. Browns page rather quickly and decided I would have to meet with him after reading his extensive qualifications (I also liked his private life section, hes a huge animal lover!).
Now, Im someone who needs to research reviews on an eyeshadow for a week before buying it, so I figured I’d be seeing 100 different surgeons about this. But the first time I met Dr. Brown, and his incredible nurse Liz, I knew I wouldn’t have to see anyone else. We all three connected and they completely understood all my goals I had in mind for my nose. They made all the stupid ways I described my ideas for this surgery: «take off the bump and make the tip look less. ball-​ish» sound like. well, exactly what I had in mind. I felt at ease here, something I did not expect to feel at any Dr’s office.
Dr. Brown has given me the most beautiful new nose, swelling is still going down *as it does for about a year after rhinoplasty* but It is already exactly what I had wanted. He shaved down my hump, removed some cartilage from the tip of my nose to slender it out and lifted the tip so it is slightly perkier. My new nose fits my face and myself perfectly, it is so much softer looking and makes my eyes look larger.
Go and see Dr. Brown if you have any cosmetic surgery desires, consultations are free and so are follow up appointments after the surgery! He truly cares about his patients comfort and happiness with their result!
Thank you Dr. Brown!

Dr. Brown is across the board one of the best medical providers I have encountered in the last several years. He is a welcome addition to San Diego and heaven knows we need more physicians like him that actually care and aren’t a part of the HMO «monster» that has literally decimated all elements of health care over the last twenty years. Especially as it pertains to patient care, availability of appointments and accessibility to needed treatments and services.
I was referred to Dr. Brown by a friend who insisted that I see him. I have a scar that has needed revision for more years than I care to recall and I felt it was time to finally investigate the possibilities of what could be done at my tender young age (ha ha)…
At first I felt going to Dr. Brown would be a big sales pitch for all the procedures that folks my age (46) are seeking or need (Botox anyone?) which has prevented me from actually seeking consultation with a surgeon that specializes in this area of medicine.
Well low and behold there is surgeon who is a specialist in cosmetic surgery that doesn’t have an attitude, exhibits a high level of intellectualism and knowledge in his area and who treats his patients as patients… not some number that needs to be met or someone who is cutting into their HMO formula (oops your ten minutes are up, you’re out of here. sorry I was six minutes late getting in here says the HMO Doc).
Dr. Brown did a thorough consultation with me, explained the benefits of what my procedure would entail and was an all around pleasant individual, let alone physician to be around.
Funny thing is I even inquired about those types of procedures that people my age (and younger) like to have that preserve their youth and all I am going to say is that I am intrigued and if I were to have such a procedure Dr. Brown would be the only person I would EVER let or trust facilitate such procedures.
His office staff is friendly and the service is exceptional. You are really made to feel welcome and you especially are made to feel safe so that an open and honest dialogue can be had and a treatment plan can be made to fit your individual needs.
I say if something is going to make you feel better about yourself then do it!!! Forget about the haters or the people who have other opinions about aging and what should or shouldn’t be done. DO WHAT IS RIGHT FOR YOU AND THE FIRST STEP IN THAT PROCESS IS GOING TO SEE DR. BROWN!!!
