I saw Dr. Brooks for all my dermatology problems. I had something above eye that needed to removed other physicians told me not worry about. I went to him and he did a biopsy on it and it turn out it needed to have a mohs surgery . Dr. Brooks informed me every step of the way about this procedure. I was nervous because it was on my eyelid and I was afraid I would not be able to see. Dr. Brooks did a biopsy and it turned out to be a skin cancer. I was so grateful he cured me. His staff was so kind and caring. I was afraid to change the dressing on my eye and the staff told me just to come in and they would change it for me the next day. Thank you Dr. Brooks .

I specifically asked this doctor if he sent OUT Biopsy's for study and he said, 'I read my own slides'. However. he did send mine out and i was charged. I also have had over 9 Dermatologists and never did I hear, 'Should I take that spot off? What do you think?'. What? You have 46 years of exp. and you ask ME? Why? I'd google this doctor before seeing him and checking on any 'complaints?' or 'State Looking in to this practice?' I will NEVER RETURN. I have more to say but, will leave it. He is getting up there in age and has been dealt with by staff so why add to it! Just be careful. I am not returning. I made a huge mistake going to see him. And paid the price $$$. Out of pocket. And scars I might NOT HAVE HAD if I'd seen a more professional doctor. Just sad.

Dr. Brooks is knowledgeable, professional and caring. He is also one of the few dermotologists who doesn't try to push a line of skin care products!I have gone to him for years and highly recommend him.
