Dr. Brownlee is exactly what you want in a doctor. He actively listens and makes detailed notes as you speak. He also explains things in a way that you can understand easily. He makes you a part of the process when planning next steps. He addressed my questions with care too.

I accompanied, as an interpreter, my friend who is profoundly deaf. Dr Brownlee was kind and considerate and directed his questions at her (the patient) and not at me, which is often not the case. He was thorough, caring and made the correct diagnosis.

Brilliant Dr and an expert in his field. I had a successful first consultation with Dr Brownlee and will be returning for follow ups. Clearly cares and wants the best for his patients with a clear passion and knowledge for multiple sclerosis.
