John B Brown Iii's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Brown became my parent's doctor, and that of several of their friends, after we left Dr. Forgey (who nearly killed my Dad when he had sepsis). Dr. Brown has seen my Mom through several surgeries, and various flu's and skin conditions, and has been tremendously helpful to me, my husband, and my kids (teenagers), especially when it comes to vaccinations. Unlike so many physicians, he spends actual TIME with his patients, and his nursing staff (Sabrina, Darby and Sheila) are just as talented and caring. He doesn't take our insurance, but I don't care. It's worth the $60 insurance won't pay just to chat with him about what's going on medically. He also has facilities at the Merrillville office to do blood draws and x-rays, so it's pretty full service. I wish he worked more hours, but other than that, I'm very happy with Dr. John Brown and his staff.

This doctors office is a horrible place to get treated. I have concerns about a family member and was not looking for info covered under HIPAA. I just wanted to tell them about the concerns of medications and issues this family member is experiencing. Darcy stated that there was nothing she could do with that information. Even though the information was enough to cause a high concern. The doctor does not do a thorough medical evaluation of his patients. If something happens to my family member, this office could be in jeopardy of a medical malpractice claim. Do not go here.

My father has recently seen Dr Brown and I am thoroughly displeased with his practice. He has been there on multiple occasions and every time Dr Brown has neglected to address his High Blood Pressure. My father recently expressed his concern with pain in his ears and Dr Brown stated he would go get something to look in his ears, then went into the hallway and told the nurses he was leaving for the day and proceeded to exit out the back door. All while my father was waiting and could hear their conversation. His practice is unprofessional and frankly seems to not care about his patients. They seem to care more about collecting theirs patients money then they do their actual patients. My mother was miss diagnosed on several occasions before finding another DR. My suggestion is to find a doctor who actually cares to practice medicine. And most definitely NOT this place.
