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.

Dr Brooks is Ok but his nursing staff needs to have better people skills. Rude on the phone!

I was referred to Dr Brooks after experiencing a rash on a large percentage of my body. At first I thought we were moving ever so slowly slowly but as my condition progressed he was amazing -- calling be to see what meds were working, requesting tests, and once a confirmed diagnosis he quickly referred me to a specialist in the field. I was very impressed with him, thank you Dr Brooks!!!
