Dr. Brown was the first doctor I had when I moved to Roanoke. From my first visit he was the perfect fit for my condition. He is so knowledgeable about my care, listens to all my concerns, helps find solutions to solve my issues, stays on top of my medication, orders tests as needed, and always leaves me feeling like I have been heard.

I really like Dr. Brown. He explains what he is doing & why & what test results mean in layman's terms.

I have worked with hundreds of doctors in my career and dozens as a patient. Dr. Ralph Brown is one of the best physicians I have ever worked with. Kind, good at listening, intelligent, thoughtful, good at listening, thorough, evidence-based. He is a blessing to his community and I am very thankful to have found him.

He is one of the most caring providers I've seen. He takes the time needed to be thorough, explain the procedure and reviews images in the room. He is knowledgeable about complex conditions and takes the whole picture into account.
