Dr. Hosea E Brown

After my first rapid treatment I wound up in the ER within hours. I called the office from the ER to find out exactly what they gave me. I was told he was busy. When I finally got him on the phone, he was unconcerned and uncaring. Then I called to get my records so I can take them to my PCP, and they refused to give them to me. One would think with the seriousness of my reaction to allergy testing, they would have monitored me and adjusted the treatment based on my severe reaction to the testing. One would think they'd be concerned about a patient winding up in the ER after treatment. Nope.

They are….Very carefully with the pandemic.

On 10/23/2019 I went to Dr. Brown's Office to do an Allergy Test. I was there for quite a long time. After my test was done I was told that I did not have any allergies. After a few days I called the Office to request a copy of my Medical notes I was told by a staff member that they cannot give me my Medical notes and that my Medical notes will be sent directly to my Primary Care Physician's Office. I have never had a Doctor's Office tell me this before. I am the patient and if I am requesting a copy of the Medical notes it should of been given directly to me and a copy then should be sent to my Primary Care Office. I asked to speak to the Office Manager who was extremely rude, and unprofessional. Since October of 2019 I have seen other Allergies Specialist who have advised me that I do have Allergies. Dr. Brown however told me that I did not have any Allergies. This was one of the worse Doctor's Office I have ever attended. Very rude and unprofessional staff, I am a person with a disability, a person of color and a gay man. I was not treated well and or felt welcome. Dr. Brown's Staff were advised that I have hearing issues and still yet the Office Staff refuse to speak to me by looking directly at me. This Office have been reported to the California Medical Board for misdiagnosing me by telling me that I do not have any Allergies when in fact I am Allergic.

⚠️WARNING⚠️ DO NOT GO HERE⚠️ I have been dealing with negligence from Dr. Brown since the beginning. I only stuck with him because I thought it would be extremely difficult to find a new doctor ,but I rather not have a doctor than ever go back to him, or wait around for him to call for our scheduled phone appointment just for him to call hours late or not call at all like our first phone appointment which I had to wait over a month for. I have been having to go to the emergency room over and over for unknown allergies (hence why I’m see dr.brown.), after I told them that they told me I it would be a month before I could even talk to him on the phone. When that day came, he NEVER called, and it was in a Friday so I couldn’t call them until the following Monday which then I was rescheduled, not for that day but another week later. He was once again very late for this phone appointment just total disregard for anybody but himself. When he finally did get around to calling on the phone call was so short, less then five minutes, all he did was tell me to come into the office. When I when into the office and met him in person he was abrupt and short, just a super unpleasant person. When it was time to leave I felt really weird, but I didn’t want to be rude so I looked the man in the face and told him “thank you and to have a good day” and he just looked at me like “ I’m done speaking to you..”... that was embarrassing. I thought I would be able to keep coming here because I would have super minimal interaction with him because his nurses are really the ones I worked with after that, but even then the office felt strange and the last time I went in one of his employees was saying he was really grumpy... that’s crazy, you’re a doctor, that’s so unprofessional, and honestly just really bizarre. The last straw was my last interaction with dr. Brown or maybe lack there of an interaction would be a better way to put it: I tried to get my three Allergy medications filled that he put me on, and they told me that he doesn’t do refills without a phone appointment, so I made an appointment for Thursday, May 27 at 10:30 AM, I called at 10 to double check that he was going to call me and told them about how he just decides not to call at all and will be very late, they said yes The doctor will call you at 10:30, 1030 came and went of course, over an hour after my appointment the doctor finally got around to calling me, The phone call was short and awkward as usual. At the end of the day my prescriptions had never been called in and at that point the office was closed. I had an appointment to go into the office the following day Friday May 28 at 12 in the afternoon. The first thing I did after I signed in was asked them if they could send my prescriptions in and told them that it was supposed to have been done at 10:30 the day before. They said they would do it, this was the day that I was warned about the doctor being in a bad mood that day, you could see how quiet and strange everyone was being in the office it’s like they’re scared of him. Whispering to each other asking where the doctor was when the whole place only has three rooms in it.... The weekend went by and my prescriptions had not been filled, and sure enough it was almost time to go back to the emergency room because of it. Thankfully I found an old prednisone prescription from my primary care physician and it stopped the attack. I called on Monday but they were still closed I left a message saying how unacceptable it was, I never got a callback so it’s been over a week and he did not ever fill my prescriptions it’s pure negligence. So this guy just straight up doesn’t care about his patience and definitely doesn’t value their time, also by the fearful look in his employees faces and their general demeanor it seems like a hostile work environment on top of it. Go somewhere else don’t waste your time, he is the equivalence of not having a doctor. ⚠️WARNING⚠️ DO NOT GO HERE⚠️ I have been dealing with negligence from Dr. Brown since the beginning.

A TRUE Allergist!! He quickly found my allergies and started me on the regiment to get better.

Friendly staff. Dr. Brown found all that I'm allergic to. Great Doctor and staff

This man is amazing. He saved my life 40 years ago, and kept me healthy through my teen years. My mother trusted him to be at our house when her last child was born at home and all went well. I know that many of us owe our lives to him. I can say from experience that wait times seemed long every week when I went to my standing Wednesday appointment as a child, but it was always worth it when he smiled at me and sometimes actually hugged me. He always had a smile and something nice to say.

Always a long wait.. 45min to 1 hour. A few of my appointments I'm there 45 minutes before he is even in the building. Poor scheduling.

He's an amazing doctor. It is very productive, but he is very knowledgeable.

I called the 800 number to inquire about the possibility about having my mother see Dr. Brown for her allergy problem. I asked, what I think is customary when considering a doctor for my mother. Did they take her insurance? She said yes. I asked for their La Quinta office address and she didn't want to give it to me. She said when I made the appointment I would get that information. My mother is elderly and had previously had a very bad experience with a gastroenterologist who was very rude and was "annoyed" by her asking questions about a procedure she was having. I asked the girl on the phone how was Dr. Brown's personality and I explained to her why I was asking, I told her I just wanted to know if he was easy going or very serious? I just wanted my mom to feel comfortable with her appointment. That girl was so unfriendly and had no clue what telephone customer service skills are. She cut me short every question with a very short and dry answer, almost like I was being a pain in her behind. I have never met Dr. Brown and I never will because his office manager obviously does't realize that first impressions count big. The first impression I got from the first member of their staff made me feel like they don't need or want my business. There are curteous and diplomatic ways to answer a question yes or no, but their service is not about courtesy or respect toward the patient. My mother is seeing another doctor whose staff is more professional and curteous. Dr. Brown's staff obviously doesn't realize that without the patients, there is no need for their position.

He's a fantastic Dr. if you would only know how many people he has helped in all his years. He's the best allergist you could find and of course you need to follow up with the immunizations and the treatment. Of course depends what kind of insurance you have that pays for the follow ups. If you have Medi-Cal it will only pay the minimum what twice a month if so, surely you will not be getting the help as someone who has insurance and pays a co-pay because they are getting their treatment.

What a great experience. Had very bad allergies because of all the rain here in the desert. Really listened to my issues and came up with a great plan to tackle them. I can now sleep at night and function during the day. THANK YOU SO MUCH DR> BROWN. I also have to say what a great group of people at this office. They really work to accommodate me. Thank you!

He is incompetent. You should go to a real ENT. He is old and tired and only wants to give you shots on a regular basis. He will do no real exam or evaluation of your problem. Do not get sucked in by this guy. He travels all over the place to keep people coming to him but no office to go see him other times. Stay away!!!!!!
