Accolades

I can’t thank you enough!

Dr. Brown,

I can’t thank you enough! I would not be running track or playing football if it wasn’t for you. When I first came to you I was in so much pain not knowing what was wrong with me and your surgery changed my life. I know you can’t come, but I wanted to send you a grad card to show how grateful I am and an update on my future plans.

Thank you again.

Dr. Brown

Thank you for the outstanding medical care! 100% Success!! I had a Right Indirect Hernia repaired in September 2020. Your staff and surgery facility were both excellent.

The list of recommended supplements helped reduce inflammation. I only needed two painkillers. Your follow-up phone calls were an unexpected surprise and greatly appreciated.

One Week: I was able to gently walk around the block.

Three Weeks: Short light jog and cycle.

Six Weeks: Returned to run, bike, and kayak training.

April 2021: Full strength training for upcoming summer races. No discomfort or limitations.

Thank you!

I Feel Great – Getting Back to Backpacking

Published February 15, 2021 By William Brown, MD

I want to thank Dr. Brown for solving my most bothering issue of 2020. I got a hernia in December 2018 during three days winter backpacking trip at Tahoe mountains. I won’t tell you how much fun it was – probably the most suffering experience of my life. Carrying the backpack up and down the mountains through the deep snow in cold weather with the constant pain in your stomach – was unforgettable! Earlier, I also felt the pain after windsurfing practices, but I didn’t even understand what it was, so I didn’t do anything about it.

But coming back from Tahoe, I’ve decided to address the issue. I went to PAMF here in Fremont, CA. At first, they’ve ignored me, dismissing the hernia diagnosis altogether. After it was confirmed by ultrasound, the PAMF surgeon still has never get back to me. I let it go at that time because…

Thank You for Your Support

Dear Dr. Brown,

I wanted to write quickly to thank you once again for all of the kindness and support you have given me over the past 18 months. When I was suffering last year from the immense pain that the mesh on my right side was causing as well as the untreated hernia on my left, you took the time to call me and discuss how you could help. That phone call gave me some hope at a time when I had almost none.

When I flew to California in March to have my initial consult, I could tell right away that you were an extremely skilled surgeon. You identified very quickly not only the hernia only the left, but also an untreated abdominal hernia on my right (which multiple surgeons in Seattle had not identified). Your supportive bed-side manner also gave me confidence that you…
