Very concerning and attentive.

Both Dr. Browner and the fellow [staff] were focused on my reason for this consultation, my past history of disease, and my plans/desires for future care. They both had read my medical history shared via the mychart portal and identified what is still needed for them to make an informed decision about next steps. They provided a preliminary sketch of what my future treatment and options would be if I relocate to the area and begin care at Johns Hopkins.

This provider is my oncologist since my first bout with breast cancer in 2009 and she is now monitoring my current episode of breast cancer. She determines my level of medication, the tests necessary as we go along, and schedules my next appointments.

Dr. Browner is the most knowledgeable,caring doctor that I have ever been privileged to have as a caregiver.She reviews her patients medical history before the appointment because she will ask questions about conditions before you have a chance to tell her. She will discuss test results and in ways that you understand.She gives great advice, if asked. She has never made me feel rushed through an appointment.I leave with feeling that I have just had the best care possible!
