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.

Debilitating back pain
Dr Brooks listened to the problem and defined the issues. He performed complex surgery, removing old hardware and putting in new mult-level hardware. The results are that I went from not being able to walk to the end of the driveway to walking over a mile a day. Dr Brooks treated me with caring and compassion throughout the whole journey.. To Dr Brooks and his team, Thank You.

Dr. Brooks helped me get through a bacterial infection in my spine. He was wonderful in the hospital and always in our appts. I felt (feel) lucky to have had him as my surgeon.

I was looking forward to getting answers on my back issues that have been ongoing for several years. We had to travel 3.5 hours to see this doctor and with a bad back that is very painful. I was extremely disappointed that Dr. Brooks didn't look at my back, didn't review an x-ray or MRI with me, didn't explain any of the reasoning behind his diagnosis that "nothing can be done for your back". Very rude, cruel, & no patient care. I'm 42 & would like to have some quality life ahead, not pain.

He is a genuine grade A jerk!!! Doesn't care about patients main problem or treat them with respect. Just comes in saying to quit smoking and loose weight. Like this will cure all my wife's problems!!! Would not recommend to anybody or even a sick bacteria! So sad medical care gets a bad wrap from guys like this!!!

I originally came in after an accident with a broken t10 l3 l4 l5. I was treated well and on my feet the next day. I went two years and somehow broke the screws in the hardware. Dr. Brooks removed the rod with in two weeks from the visit and I'm up and going again. Thank you to your staff and your expertise Dr. Brooks
