Dr. Brown is an exceptional doctor, and I was really lucky that the scheduler sent me to the "wrong place". After the 2 months of misery, :,Care Spot, Baptist ER, and more, he removed my thumb nail in 15 minutes. He could send me away, but he decided to help. That happened yesterday, and today it's already huge improvement. Thank you Dr. Brown.

From the minute, we walked into the office his assistant was kind and spoke up so that my husband could hear her when she asked him questions. She was efficient and thorough. When Dr. Brown walked in his personality is amazing. He has top rate listening skills, he examined my husband, diagnose him and treated him. I would definitely go back to Dr. Brown and his team.Patient Submitted Review

I was a walk-in and I got in quickly! Thank you for that! I did not feel rushed by anyone there. Dr. Brown is pleasant and very knowledgable of course! I will make one comment about talking about personal stuff at the front desk. I don't believe it's professional to do and I witnessed it today. I take all my broken bones to SOS, ;) Love SOS here and Fleming Island.rater8 Verified Patient

Both the Dr. Alex Brown & his assistant Tess were personable & knowledgeable.Dr. Brown explained why he thought that a cortisone shot would help alleviate my pain symptoms after looking at the X-ray images that were taken.

My son had an incident at school involving his knee. Dr Brown did an excellent job diagnosing and explaining to us what the issue was and what his treatment options were. My son particularly enjoyed the mini anatomy lesson Dr Brown provided in his explanation. Weeks later, he still recounts Dr Brown’s definition of his PCL, LCL, ACL and MCL. His courteous staff provided us with letters for the school to limit his activity during recovery and to reactivate him in sports after he had recovered.Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Brown is the consummate professional. He takes the time to listen to the patient's symptoms, and concerns. His friendly manner and willingness to assure the patient's comfort with him and prescribed treatment make the visit easier if not enjoyable. I am grateful that I met Dr. Brown and he assisted in the care and treatment of my left hip.rater8 Verified Patient

Dr. Brown was very approachable, informative, knowledgeable, and suggested appropriate treatment for my knee after his physical exam and x-ray analysis. If further issues ensued, he suggested returning to his office for further analysis of the issue. He was very patient oriented and took the time to fully discuss my medical issue.rater8 Verified Patient

I never write reviews, but my experience at SE Ortho Mandarin was the best I have ever experienced at a doctors office. Dr. Brown is so friendly and very caring. I was a walk in to get x-rays for a possible broken toe. I was immediately greeted, x-rayed, and seen by Dr. Brown. The whole process took 45 mins start to finish, and I was out the door! Thank you so much for your greatness. It is difficult to find people who care about their work. You are an A+++++. Could not ask for more!Patient Submitted Review

Awesome provider with a great bedside manner and sense of humor. Dr. Brown saw me as a walk-in after I had rolled my foot earlier that day and was unable to walk. Even as a walk-in late on a Friday, I never felt rushed. He took his time answering questions about the diagnosis (broken cuboid bone) and had great empathy for the pain I was feeling along with the fact I was going to have to wear a boot for 6+ weeks. He and his staff made my experience at the South Side Clinic an extremely positive one, I would highly recommend!! Thanks again!!Patient Submitted Review

I saw Dr Brown due to an emergency situation. When I called in, the staff set me an appointment within an hour of my call. Although I was the last patient of the day, and it was beyond 'closing time', he, and the whole staff, treated me as though my health was far more important than quitting time.Dr Brown spent a good deal of time discussing my diagnosis and explaining next steps. I felt confident in his recommendations, and left with a temporary solution to pain relief and an ongoing plan for long term care. He, and all the staff, were professional, knowledgeable and caring. My thanks to him and all the staff for making my experience such a positive one.I would highly recommend Dr Brown to any friends or family in need.Patient Submitted Review

Wonderful doctor. He explained everything he was doing and why. I had a bike fall and went somewhere else having only x-rays and left. After a week, only feeling worse, I was a walk in here and was taken rather quickly. They did an ultrasound and had me sit with the doctor who explained what happened to my knee after the fall. Prescribed meds, given authorization for a temporary handicapped display card and given instructions along with a follow up appt. Staff also were very helpful. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a sports doctor.rater8 Verified Patient

Dr. Brown was great. He’s knowledgeable, personable, caring and and explains everything. He made me completely comfortable with my procedure. I’m already a SE Ortho patient but was unable to get an appointment at my regular office until next month for an injection. So I came to his offices as a walk-in. Great experience!rater8 Verified Patient

Dr. brown was very kind and really took his time to listen to our concerns and explain why we shouldn't be concerned and when we should be concerned. Although my son was teasing me for "overreacting" Dr Brown assured me that my concern was valid and helped my son understand that I was just a loving mom.

I can’t say enough about this office what a friendly crew! I went on my lunch break because I couldn’t stand the agonizing pain in my knee any longer, which has been going on for about 10 months. I found out that Southeast orthopedics has two walk-in locations I went to the one in Mandarin and was assigned to Dr Brown! He sat and listened to all my woes, pains and corny jokes about the pain! He was very thorough in the examination put me right into the x-ray machine and found out that I had a pretty good case of arthritis in my knee. Gave me a steroid shot and a game plan for what would happen next if this did not work. Explained everything in detail, and I can’t thank him enough as I try to heal this knee! SOS, Mandarin rocks! By the way, did I mention I was in an out within an hour and a half when I intended or thought that I would be there a lot is walking in the door.
