Orthopedics / Bones & JointsApproach To Care
Dr. Brooks specializes in foot and ankle, and his goal is to get people back up on their feet. Whatever their goals are, and whatever they love doing, from walking their dog to running a marathon, he is dedicated to getting them back to doing those things. “Even though I’m a surgeon, my goal is always to do the least amount possible to get patients back to their desired activities. Whenever appropriate, we’ll try conservative and nonsurgical options like bracing and orthotics first,” Dr. Brooks said. “But if surgery is what’s needed, we’ll move in that direction as a patient-doctor team.”
Overall, Dr. Brooks hopes his patients find him to be a caring, compassionate listener who always addresses their needs with well thought-out plans.
