    My father has recently seen Dr Brown and I am thoroughly displeased with his practice. He has been…read morethere on multiple occasions and every time Dr Brown has neglected to address his High Blood Pressure. My father recently expressed his concern with pain in his ears and Dr Brown stated he would go get something to look in his ears, then went into the hallway and told the nurses he was leaving for the day and proceeded to exit out the back door. All while my father was waiting and could hear their conversation. His practice is unprofessional and frankly seems to not care about his patients. They seem to care more about collecting theirs patients money then they do their actual patients. My mother was miss diagnosed on several occasions before finding another DR. My suggestion is to find a doctor who actually cares to practice medicine. And most definitely NOT this place.

Dr. Brown has seen my Mom through several surgeries, and various flu's and skin conditions, and has been tremendously helpful to me, my husband, and my kids (teenagers), especially when it comes to vaccinations. Unlike so many physicians, he spends actual TIME with his patients, and his nursing staff (Sabrina, Darby and Sheila) are just as talented and caring. He doesn't take our insurance, but I don't care. It's worth the $60 insurance won't pay just to chat with him about what's going on medically. He also has facilities at the Merrillville office to do blood draws and x-rays, so it's pretty full service. I wish he worked more hours, but other than that, I'm very happy with Dr. John Brown and his staff.

You would be better served going to a genuine provider who puts more emphasis on patient care and less emphasis on profit. I have been going to Family Medicine of Merrillville for over a year. I was originally in "Dr. Luke's" care. He is an LPN who got a job elsewhere and I was subsequently assigned to LPN Weronika Lugo when he left. I had two visits with Weronika Lugo. The first was on March 12, 2026. The second was on May 21, 2026. During these visits the subject of additional medications came up that I needed. When I asked about those Weronika Lugo's response was to "Take charge of your healthcare and do it yourself." This is a curious answer for a caregiver to give to a patient. Over the course of two visits she gave me this exact response at least six times to various questions. A reasonable interpretation is that she doesn't want to deal with me. And I'm fine with that. I started looking for another doctor's office. I started having problems getting my prescription refilled. After several phone calls to the pharmacy and the insurance company my wife determined that the prescription had been approved on the wrong prescription insurance plan that was employer based. The insurance company insisted on dealing with the doctor's office and it was not something that I could get done myself. The office manager's response at Family Medicine of Merrillville was to acknowledge that it would take an employee a considerable amount of time on the phone with the insurance company to get this mistake corrected. Then she said this wasn't an expenditure she was willing to make and if I wanted my prescription I needed to pay $300 to their office to get it filled instead of just paying the $25 copay at the pharmacy. That is when I knew for certain they really don't want me as a patient. Their main concern isn't the welfare of their patients. It is selling drugs out of their refrigerator for maximum profitability. I was prepared for indifference. But what happened when I went to a legitimate healthcare provider and left Family Medicine of Merrillville was entirely unwarranted. They listed my prescription as "no longer medically necessary" in my records to prevent me from getting it under insurance coverage at a pharmacy since I opted not to buy it directly from them. They did this in July when I had not had a visit to their office since May. I had already gone to another LPN for a checkup and gotten a prescription elsewhere. Family Medicine of Merrillville intentionally kneecapped me on the way out the door. I don't know if this is illegal or unethical but I am reporting it to whatever regulatory authority I can find whose jurisdiction covers it. My recommendation is a hard pass on Family Medicine of Merrillville. There are some good people who work there but the people who direct and focus the work don't have your best interests in mind. They are the kind of people who would have been selling Fen-phen out of the trunk of a car in 1995.

Now it is Saturday and the doctor will NOT call the pharmacy and tell them how often my daughter gets her medicine. So, my daughter will be out of her medicine until at least Monday. Do not go to this office. Find a better neurologist. This office is ridiculous.

They refused to see my daughter because I didn't have the cards. I had the information off the cards, not the cards. I explained my situation, after all I can't be the only one whose ex-husband makes this stuff difficult. They gave no damns at all and just rescheduled the appointment. I'm currently looking for a different neurologist, if they can turn down an 8 year old for headaches with a family history of brain tumors over not having insurance cards but having insurance...that doctor needs to find a heart and a little more understanding for families like mine that are trying their hardest to do what they can with little to no help from ex-husband. I now may have to wait another 3 months to get her into a doctor since I start my new job today. Thank you so much doctor magno and your snotty office team for being completely useless and uncaring!!!

If it wasn't for their fast lab work, care and treatments, frankly I wouldn't be here. They listened, and went right to work fast. Lynn Miskovich the nurse practitioner over there saved my life. There is no doubt. While others want something else in a healthcare environment, my experience is different. I just wanted my life . How can you ever thank someone for that? Isn't that the most important thing a healthcare facility is supposed to do? Thank you, Community Net in Merrillville, especially Lynn your the best. I know I was cranky, nervous, tired, and difficult, but you kept going, calmly and focused. Always know I humbly thank you.
