RIVER CITY ALLERGY & MEDICAL - Key Persons
Andrew M. Brown, MD, an otolaryngologist trained at the Barns Hospital in St. Louis, MO, has been treating allergies and practicing Environmental Medicine since 1971. Patients now are treated from all over Alabama and 33 other states. He developed a treatment for Shingles in the early 70's that is effective in relieving all or part of the pain while the patient is still in the office as much as 80% of the time if treated in the first two weeks. He is married to Joan Holcomb Brown. Together, they have four children and ten grandchildren.
In September of 2018 Dr. Brown was joined by Wendy Miller CRNP. Mrs. Miller is a graduate of UAB and brings clinical knowledge of common acute and chronic diseases to the practice thereby expanding the services offered while maintaining the Allergy Clinic to provide ongoing allergy treatment to its numerous patients. The name of the clinic was changed at that time to River City Allergy & Medical to encompass our newly added services.
