General Practitioners

Arthritis
Primary Care

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Dr. Brooks was the first surgeon in Stamford to perform complex pelvic fracture surgery. He was also the first in Stamford to offer endoscopic carpal tunnel release, a minimally-invasive way to surgically treat carpal tunnel syndrome which cuts the recovery time in half compared with “traditional” carpal tunnel release.

Anxiety

Ultrasound
His practice philosophy is to first and foremost, listen to the patient. To understand the nature of the complaints, and to do a careful physical examination. Only after this does he rely on diagnostic testing such as Xray, MRI, ultrasound, etc. By far the most important to him is understanding the patient fully, to listen, and spend the time needed to make sure he understands the patient and vice-versa. He always looks at surgery as a last resort, and makes sure nonsurgical treatments are used first (unless there is a surgical emergency, of course).
MRI

Ankle Surgery
Arthritis Surgery
Dr. Brooks has recently published peer-reviewed articles on thumb arthritis surgery, hand extensor tendon injuries, and carpal tunnel syndrome.
