What Dr. Brown's Patients Say About Their Treatment
"Dr. Brown is a rare find in a psychiatrist. He diagnosed me with depression and anxiety. With his knowledge and steady guidance, he helped me get my illness under control. Since my husband served for 28 years in the navy, I didn't always have the privilege of working with Dr. Brown. My illness went undiagnosed for two years until we moved to San Diego and I had the great fortune to be referred to Dr. Brown. He is not only a brilliant diagnostician, but his knowledge of psycho-pharmacology is extensive, and in my opinion, unparalleled. There are many psychiatrists out there who will prescribe medication, but few have the knowledge and sincere desire to support their patients through the whole process. Not only can Dr. Brown provide his patients with an accurate diagnosis, but he knows the proper medications for each patient's individual needs. He will monitor and support you through your journey to wellness. He is an excellent talk therapist, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other appropriate modalities to support his patients, and give them the very best outcome they can achieve. When you are in Dr. Brown's office, you feel like you are his only patient. The sessions are never rushed. You are made to feel as if you are Dr. Brown's number one priority. This is a rare find in the entire medical profession. I cannot recommend Dr. Brown more highly.
If you're reading this and you feel doubtful, depressed, anxious, scared, or any number of the things you may not even be able to put into words, take heart. Take that first step. Call Dr. Brown's office and make an appointment. I've been where you are. I didn't think my life could ever be right again. I was so afraid to take that first step, but when I finally did, Dr. Brown was there. He cares and he'll help you see the sunshine again."
- J.W.
"Dr. Brown is one of a few doctors that I feel completely comfortable sharing my entire life with. He is always considerate to my needs and listens to all of my concerns. I am very grateful to have found Dr. Brown as he has helped me significantly over the past four years."
- E.G.
"Dr. Brown genuinely understands, not only my diagnosis, but my personality as well. His treatments are more personalized than the norm, and I really value this."
- C.S.
"Dr. Brown's services have been thorough and never rushed. I feel I have undivided professional attention. He is a good listener. Dr. Brown has been a key support to my mental health and daily cares. He is like a member of the family. His sessions are worth the wait! May God be with his practice and his patients. Thank you."
- A.H.
"Dr. Brown’s help and medical expertise for my clinical depression for the last 11 months has changed my life. He helped me make it through my medical treatments for Hepatitis and he was always available to me when I needed urgent care during this difficult period. I no longer have a stigma about Psychiatry. I have awakened to life!"
- M.W.
"Before I came to see Dr. Brown I had almost given up hope of ever living a normal life. I went from doctor to doctor but none of them knew anything about the up-to-date treatments for Bipolar disorder. They wouldn’t discuss my disorder with me. They just wanted to hand me medication and push me out the door. Now that I am with Dr. Brown my hopes of living a normal happy life are still alive. I am more stable now than I have been since being diagnosed six years ago."
- B.B.
"I have been so sick (depressed and anxious) for the past four years that there were times I didn’t even know my own husband. It was through Dr. Craig Brown that I regained my life back. He has helped me to stay well for the past five years."
- B.D.
"I am privileged to write of my experience with Dr. Brown. I had been treated by other psychiatrists for years to no avail. Unlike Dr. Brown they lacked compassion and true concern. With Dr. Brown I have complete explanations about medications and my illness. He has helped retrieve me from impossible situations not only through medication but by showing me my mistakes and how to overcome them."
- J.
"My family had been dealing with my mother’s Bipolar illness for many, many years. Dr. Brown is that first doctor who has brought my family out of denial and my mother out of the hospital. Because of his explanations of the disease and his knowledge of medications my mother has been stable for the first time and longer than she has at any time in her life."
- V.C. (Written by her Daughter)
"I am Bipolar. I finally “have a name” for the things that I sometimes say and do that do not make sense to my family, friends, and sometimes to me either. It was Dr. Brown who first diagnosed me with this disorder, after I had made a suicide attempt and had been hospitalized by another doctor. It was a hard long road understanding this problem, getting stable, and researching what this meant for me and my family. Sensing my confusion and frustration one day Dr. Brown said to me “to not let it take over my life, learn to control it.” I’ll never forget those words. Dr. Brown, with his dedication, his commitment and his true understanding, gives 110% of himself to his patients in order to help them heal themselves. He has taught me to live in harmony with my problem."
- R.L.
"I am a patient of Dr. Brown’s currently being treated for Manic Depressive Disorder. I was diagnosed more than twenty years ago and have had several doctors and hospitalizations. The five-year doctor-patient relationship I have with Dr. Brown is a team effort of monthly visits and proper monitoring of my medications. As a result I have been completely stable and haven’t needed to be hospitalized. Dr. Brown is most concerned about my wellness. And he always assures me if I need help in any way before my next appointment to not hesitate to call. My illness is in complete remission with my ongoing treatment with Dr. Brown. I am very thankful to have him as my doctor."
- B.
"I came to Dr. Brown two years ago with severe anxiety attacks. I was completely overwhelmed and my family was going through its most difficult period. I found Dr. Brown to be extremely knowledgeable with years of experience. He was able to diagnose my problem and prescribe drug treatment that brought about immediate results. However it was the ongoing therapeutic relationship that has meant the most to me and my work toward recovery. Dr. Brown’s approach is straightforward and no-nonsense. He lays out a clear concise plan for recovery that works. His steady guidance and counseling has given me the tools that I need to bring about effective and long lasting changes in my life. With Dr. Brown’s help I have become a stronger, more self confident person who is leading a more rewarding and productive life."
- V.M.
"I have been coming to see Dr. Brown for about two years. What I like about Dr. Brown is that he "listens first." He takes notes while I'm talking so he doesn't miss anything that you have said. I call it my "break from the world appointment."

- J.R.
"Dr. Brown was absolutely amazing. I've seen quite a few psychiatrists and he is definitely my favorite. I was only seen by him for a few months, and he did everything he could to help me during our time. He was very detailed and explained everything so I understood it thoroughly. I feel a lot better than I did before. I feel like he really cares about what he does and is very professional. I would highly recommend him to anyone!"
- A.H.
"Many thanks to Dr. Brown for giving me the strength to deal with my husband's long battle with cancer, and his passing. Dr. Brown has given me the tools to handle other crises in my family. Without him, I don't know if I would be here today here writing this. He is truly my angel here on earth."

“Dr. Brown is an outstanding psychiatrist. I’ve been to many and they are not as thorough as he is. He cares about his patients and I wish there were more like him.

“Dr. Brown has helped me with my severe disability problems that I have been trying to deal with for over 20 years. Some visits I see Dr. Brown within a few minutes, and some visits I had to wait, but this is because some patients require more time with the doctor to properly address their problems. Dr. Brown cares and will provide you the proper care needed to help you.”

“When I first visited Dr. Brown, I was on 70 mgs of a combination of Oxycontin and Oxycodone, and I was depressed because I wanted to come off the narcotics, but couldn’t find a way to do it. I have polycystic kidney disease, and take Warfarin due to heart surgery. Dr. Brown supported me through the transition off the narcotics that I was taking for lower back pain and it only took four months. Now I’m taking non-narcotic medications and I feel better than ever.”
