Personal Information

I have always been drawn to people with disability. So, I chose Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation as my specialty. I find that working in multiple sclerosis is always challenging and rewarding on a personal level.
I grew up in Colorado and California, the son of a nurse and a radiologist. After residency, I wanted to work with disadvantaged patients and spent nine years at a leprosy and rehabilitation center in Northern Thailand. I came back with a lot of good memories and married a nurse who I met over there. Together, we have a son who is going to public school in Kirkland and always keeping his parents entertained. In my free time, I enjoy going to soccer games, jogging, gardening, listening to audio books. I am a dog-lover.

Community Involvement

I am on the Healthcare Advisory Committee of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and meet with three MS Support groups on a regular basis.
I have helped teach a course to physical therapy, occupational therapy and orthotist students at the University of Washington annually since 2005.

Dr. Brown is the best. He listens to my concerns and gives his recommendations. In fact I am changing Insurance companies. I did not want to change but it is more important for me to have Dr. Brown in my network and doctor. I feel if I have any concerns, Dr. Brown is always quick to respond as well as his assistant. It is rare to find a doctor that truly cares about their patients well being and treatment.
