Cool, calm and straightforward
I love Dr. Brooks and his staff. Whenever I start to fall apart he is the one that I return to for advice and to be put back together. It is so wonderful to go to a doctor that knows me and my family and is able to communicate and connect with. He has fixed my shoulders and knees multiple times, only because I am so reckless. He never fussed at me just fixes the problem, until I do it again. He is so very smart and knows exactly what he is talking about!!!
Pain gone. Both knees.
Good visit
We had to wait an hour before we saw him!
ALWAYS CORDIAL, “GOES OVER” ANY QUESTIONS, THAT I MAY HAVE. KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT MY ORTHOPEDIC PROBLEMS, AND GIVES ME “A CHOICE” ABOUT HOW TO BEST TREAT MY CONDITION. I AM VERY PLEASED!
