Dr. Brooks has a great bedside manner when you actually get to see him! Had he not done two surgeries on my husband, I would not have known who he was. All of my pre-op visits were with his PA’s.

Very attentive, clear communication about my issue and compassion.

Waiting almost 8 mos. for surgery - referred by another doc same clinic- not a surgeon. The system didn’t put me in the queue sooner as I had previous Dr for 15 mos. before this. Within current gap of almost 8 mos - I have had no care of hip at this clinic except 2 scheduling visits and brief “comprehensive” exam w/ other staff. I had to call and insist on meeting Dr Brooks before July 30 surgery as only had brief appts w/ other staff. He was obviously super busy and the meet n greet I had shld have been in system sooner instead or routine in the “joint” Ed class. I feel like a number in an assembly line. While I have heard he is good- there needs to be more care for patients scheduled for surgery in the interim time. I have had to face many issues and pain alone because I was in the gap of waiting for surgery.

Very skilled, knowledgeable and caring. I have had 3 surgeries performed by Dr Brooks each highly successful, says it all, doesn't it?

I believe Dr. Brooks is a very caring and concerned doctor.
I have an issue with leg pain and am convinced he will find the source of my discomfort .
I never feel rushed during the appointments and he seems to listen to me fully. Hopefully, for my sake, he will be able to figure out what is making my leg hurt so much.
