I take pride in being well-versed in the most up-to-date techniques and advances within the field of minimally invasive surgery, and I offer laparoscopic, robotic, and endoscopic options. My goal is to create an evidenced-based, individualized treatment plan for each of my patients.
I am a minimally invasive general surgeon who specializes in treating diseases of the stomach and esophagus, gallbladder, appendix, small intestine and colon. This includes GERD (heartburn), hiatal hernias and esophageal motility disorders. Additionally, I treat both simple and complex hernias.
I received my medical degree from Jefferson Medical College and completed my general surgery residency at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. I then completed a fellowship in advanced GI and minimally invasive and bariatric surgery at Stony Brook University Hospital before joining St. Luke’s. I am a board-certified general surgeon and an active member of SAGES (Society for American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons) and the American College of Surgeons.
Outside of my clinical practice, I have an interest in teaching medical students and residents as well as conducting research dealing with minimally invasive surgical techniques.
Personally, I enjoy running, cooking and playing golf, as well as exploring the Lehigh Valley with my wonderful wife Meredith Harrison (a thoracic surgeon at St. Luke’s) and our young son.

The Patient Satisfaction Rating is an average of all responses to the care provider related questions from our
nationally recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question.
Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score.
The comments are submitted by patients and reflect their views and opinions. The comments are not endorsed by and do
not necessarily reflect the views of St. Luke’s University Health Network.
“Some of the questions did not relate to my visit. This was my first visit to Dr. Brown and related to a health concern and was seeking a second opinion. Having said that, in the future I would see Dr. Brown for any services related to his field of medicine. Dr. Brown was very patient with me (I had cancer of the mouth and it's difficult for me to speak and equally difficult to be understood) and listened to what I had to say and answered all of my questions. He informed me that the procedures I have scheduled are appropriate. He's going to follow up with me after the procedure, I already have an appointment.”
