Dr. Brown is the only compitent Pulmonologist in Utah that specializes and treats patients with different forms of Muscular Dystrophy and their unique breathing issues. Other Pulmonologist in the area claim they treat these type of patients, and with their limited knowledge they do try and do their best. However, "they Do not know, what they Do Not not Know."! After years of suffering by so many patients, inxluding me, the University of Utah recruited Dr. Brown to treat the unique needs of these patients. Finally, patients from many different states all over the Intermountain West travel to see her. Thank you Dr. Brown!
