This doctor was rude, dismissive and literally fell asleep in ALL my sessions. Wasn't helpful at all. Told me there was nothing wrong.. I was diagnosed w/CPTSD by someone who listened. Awful doctor. Would NOT recommend.

Saw Dd Brooks for a few years & found him always compassionate & supportive. He had the patience of Job, to listen to me ruminate about my ‘issues’. He helped me to see that self-recognition is the key, & supervised as I began to rebuild some self-love to improve my life. Tks Doc!

Pig , is first way to describe him and a cowardly bully .After seeing him I requested all my mental health records and I now have documented proof that I did not receive one word of advice or counciling that is why I say coward and if he is not a gutless coward, he would have recorded his own words. Then again no one in mental health industry records their own words, self protection must be the only explantion .

This doctor was brash, arrogant, rude and dismissive. He makes you feel ridiculous for having problems and uses you as an audience to ramble on about other patients he has helped and in no way offers anything useful to your treatment. I left my first appointment feeling more frustrated and confused and upset with myself then I had ever felt before. He launches into grandiose speeches about how he won't just hand out drugs DESPITE being explicitly and repetitively told you are not there to get medication - that you want to try and work things out without resorting to medication. My experience with him was that he was a self absorbed soap box anti-drug preacher who has nothing to offer but degradation, shame and frustration.

It seems to me that some of the positive ratings are "put on". However, I'm under the impression that he has retired and in my opinion, that's a good thing.

Terrible. He did not read my file, told me that he had no idea why he was seeing me, implied my illness was in my head after being diagnosed and hospitalized and treated for the same disorder for 12 years, said that I was pretty much just a bad person and had to pull out the DSM to check my symptoms. His diagnoses/opinion was based on 2 appointments totaling 20 minutes each. I felt terrible and humiliated. He was a waste of my time. Why is he practicing psychiatry?

I am blown away by alot of these comments for this doctor! I have been seeing Dr Brooks for over a year now after being refered to him by my family doctor. I had been seeing another doctor who was TRULY a nut case. I find Dr Brooks very professional and patient.I have no problems talking to him and always leave the office smiling. Just the thought of losing him makes me shudder. I know I could never fill his boots as well. He made a comment yesterday that made me realize that it is not ME that is nuts, it is everyone else. * It is not the person seeing the phychiatrist who needs them...it is everyone else.!

I saw this doctor about 15 years ago, and it appears from the comments that nothing has changed. I was in the same building this morning, and I looked at the office listings to see if he was still in practice. I was hoping not. So, my story: I was referred to Brooks by another psychiatrist who was moving to the States to take a research position. Shortly after this, my fiance died very suddenly. Three weeks after this I returned to a weekly group therapy session, and became upset and had to leave. Understandable at this early stage in grieving, one would think. NOT SO. At my next individual appointment I was shocked at his unprofessional behaviour. There is no other word for it - I was berated for having upset the other group members by leaving the meeting. He was very angry with me and his conduct was completely inappropriate. I did not see him again. Fortunately for me, my original doctor returned soon after, but I would never have set foot in Brook's office again.

helped me through one of the most difficult periods of my life...I thought I was losing my mind until Dr.Brooks made me realized he was treating the wrong person (should have been my husband) I was suffering from a situational depression...meaning I was depressed because I was dealing with someone who was totally put of control and blaming it on me...I 100% and he is still nuts!!!...Thank you Dr. Brooks
