    Dr. Brown and her staff are "the bomb" , they are the best. Dr. Brown is an expert at treating breathing issues in people with neuromuscular disease. Personally, once I started seeing her, my quality of life seriously has improved. She is kind, knowledgeable, patient, and fun. You'll love her if other pulmonologist have failed you.
