DR. BROOKS is the BEST Shoulder & Knee SURGEON❗️ I feel blessed to have found Dr. Werner Brooks 🙏. In 2025, he performed Full Reverse Shoulder surgery on my Right shoulder in the spring and my Left shoulder in the fall. I have no stress because I already KNEW how GREAT he is
because he was voted Surgeon of the Year before he performed Full Knee Replacement surgery in 2022 on my Left knee in the spring & my Right knee in the fall. I always tell people my recovery was so good because I started with an Excellent Surgeon and did my part doing Physical Therapy after surgery. Now I am the Bionic Woman with No Pain, and Full Mobility after surgery! 5 ⭐️’s for DR. BROOKS!

Dr. Brooks is talented, based on my personal surgery which so far is an amazing improvement. He is personable and caring - with the sort of compassion you hope in a medical professional.
