Karen Larocca
Dr. Barrett Brown is a very fine physician. He is also a friend. While he is a surgeon he said this about my horribly painful shoulder. First we will try an injection performed by our specialist using ultra sound. (It was painless.) If that does not relieve your pain we will do a cat scan to evaluate the rotator cuff.
Lynn Russell
Highly recommend Dr Brown!!! He took time to answer all questions without rushing. I called his office in severe pain and received the in- office MRI and Dr appt the next day then Dr Brown explained my condition and I was booked for surgery with their on-site hospital days later. The surgery went great and I was treated great by all staff. They have valet service as well. Thanks Dr Brown and all staff!!!

I had a rotator cuff repair with Dr. Brown. Everyone at this hospital from the registration staff, pre-op nurse, surgery staff, recovery room nurse, the anesthesiologist, and of course, the surgeon, Dr. Brown were all professional and caring.
Mary Isern
I have, unfortunately, been a frequent visitor to the Fondren Orthopedic clinic as I cannot seem to stay on my feet 😅. My most recent experience with Dr. Brown has been nothing short of excellent. From the initial exam to surgery and then the follow up and discussion of how I am healing have been extremely thorough and communication has been a 10. I would definitely recommend.

What We Treat
Dr. Brown has 23 years of experience. He offers many different kinds of sports medicine services in Houston to help his patients, including:
Knee Arthroscopy
Knee surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that uses small incisions to diagnose and treat various knee joint issues. This technique provides a clear view of the internal structures of the knee, enabling effective interventions for conditions like meniscus tears and ligament injuries. Patients often experience less pain and quicker recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
Shoulder Arthroscopy
Shoulder Arthroscopy is a similar minimally invasive procedure used to examine and treat problems within the shoulder joint. By inserting a small camera through tiny incisions, our surgeon can identify issues such as rotator cuff tears or shoulder impingement and perform necessary repairs. This approach typically results in reduced discomfort and faster rehabilitation.
Acromioclavicular Ligament Reconstruction
Acromioclavicular ligament reconstruction addresses injuries to the ligaments connecting the collarbone to the shoulder blade. This procedure restores stability to the shoulder joint, often after a significant injury or chronic dislocation. Recovery involves rehabilitation exercises to regain strength and mobility in the shoulder.
Shoulder Replacement
Shoulder replacement involves removing damaged parts of the shoulder joint and replacing them with artificial components to relieve pain and restore mobility.
Patellofemoral Instability
Patellofemoral instability occurs when the kneecap (patella) does not track properly in the groove of the thigh bone, leading to pain and instability during movement.
Ligament Reconstructions
Ligament reconstruction is a surgical technique that repairs or replaces torn ligaments to restore joint stability and function. It is often used in sports-related injuries.
Meniscus Surgery
Meniscus surgery addresses tears in the meniscus, a cartilage structure in the knee, aiming to ease pain and improve joint function.
Traumatic Conditions
Traumatic conditions usually result from sudden impact or injury, requiring specialized treatment to restore function and relieve pain.
