My bio

Hello, my name is Dr. Jimmy J. Brown, MD, DDS, FACS. I graduated from the George Washington University School of Medicine with my Doctor of Medicine Degree in 1988, and completed my residency in Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery at the Charles R. Drew University Medical Center in 1993. I subsequently served in the USARMY as Chief of Otolaryngology & Audiological Sciences from 1993 -95. I later went on to complete advanced training at Stanford University School of Medicine in Advanced Surgical Oncology.

On completing fellowship training at Stanford University, I returned to Charles R. Drew University School of Medicine & Science, where I served as the Program Director and Chief to the Department of Otolaryngology, Head & Neck Surgery. I subsequently returned to Stanford University as faculty, where I served as section chief for Sleep Surgery.

Previously, I received my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Howard University College of Dentistry in 1983, with honors, and completed my General Surgery Internship at Georgetown University, School of Medicine, Medical Center in 1989. Prior to joining the faculty at the UF College of Medicine's Department of Otolaryngology, I was a Professor of Surgery for the Department of Otolaryngology and the Chief of Head & Neck Surgery, as well as Plastics & Reconstructive Surgery, at The Augusta University, Medical College of Georgia, where I administered my own fellowship training program in Facial Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery. I held these posts for 10 years before joining The UFL.

As an academic physician, I provide training to resident physicians, those in fellowship training, medical students, and staff. I actively participate in teaching conferences and Grand-Rounds lectures as well as clinical research forums. I am Board Certified in both Otolaryngology, Head & Neck Surgery as well as Facial Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery. I am also Boarded in Dentistry. Here at the University of Florida School of Medicine, I am the Professor of Otolaryngology, Head & Neck Surgery and, Chief to the division of Comprehensive Otolaryngology, Head & Neck Surgery.
