Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Highly recommend provider, but unfortunately he is now retired. He took great care of both me and my mother during our bouts with cancer. He great care and dedication to his patients speaks volumes of the providers character. He will be sorely missed!

Update on completion of cancer therapy
Dr. Brooks performed a 6-month check of the previously completed successful cancer therapy, after 5-years. He also reviewed lab tests for a possible blood abnormality. Dr. Brooks is thorough in his examinations and concerned with the patient's well being. His is very gentle and carefully listens to patient's concerns.

Love Dr. Brooks
Having been referred to Dr. Brooks by my previous oncologist, upon his departure from Tucson, I have been seeing him for many years. Dr. Brooks is always considerate, thorough, and ready to answer questions. The entire staff at Arizona Oncology is friendly and welcoming.

dr brooks is an excellent oncologist
the front staff is friendly and efficient and won't leave you hanging at the counter. they do however do need a card swipe device rather than manually entering cc numbers. the nurses are top notch in every aspect. being friendly, concerned and knowledgeable they understand the agnst of cancer and do from the bottom of their huge hearts want you to do well. if any of all this I've gone through is a blessing it was the referral to this group. dr brooks is what we all want in a physician. lately being rode hard and put away wet he never falters in his compassion and dedication. I can't say enough good about him without getting soppy.
