The fellowship-trained, board-certified sports medicine physician was voted 2022 Best Sports Medicine Doctor in Cy-Fair, earning patient praise for his positive and friendly demeanor, personalized care, and genuine concern for their well-being.
Providing non-operative management of orthopedic/sports injuries and osteoarthritis for adults and children, Dr. Brooks uses evidence-based medicine and educates patients on treatment options and beneficial diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes. “My role is like a primary care doctor for sports medicine, and my goal is to help get patients moving and back into the game without surgery, when possible,” he says, adding, “Playing sports myself and having been injured, I can relate to what my patients are going through.”
