I had worked with a lot of his patients he sent over to the store for help with supplements as this was their preference. To meet him was pleasure, he is very good at explaining himself and ensures that he understands you case and concerns. Excellent personality. I look forward to working with him for my orthopedic needs.

Dr. Brooks is great! Very caring and I believe knowledgeable in what he does. I have had a shoulder replacement, a knee replacement and scar tissue removed from my knee. I always have the feeling he cares about my outcome. He is always willing to try another procedure to help you feel better. Because he is so good and so busy, scheduling a surgery takes longer than I like. I feel his expertise is worth it.

Magnificent. I highly recommend him and his entire surgical staff. Professional with compassion and top notch care his patients. He truly is a gifted in the skills he has, a busy surgeon but he still takes the personal time to checkin on you before and after surgery. I pray he never stops.

Just had a 4 month checkup for my total knee replacement and, as usual, Dr Brooks was great answering my questions and reassuring me that my progress is great. He listens, is respectful, encouraging and has a nice sense of humor. His being a big Boston sports fan is a bonus for me. Would not hesitate to use him again if the need arises.
