Dr. Joseph Brooks, MD

Awful practice. They will ignore your calls or hang up on you if you do get through. Look elsewhere as the office staff are rude, condescending and should really not be in this business.

My mom spent the last months of her life in pain. Dr. Brooks and Katie Grose care more about the use of opioids than their patients. She felt like she was being treated like a drug addict. She spent 55 years serving in Colorado Springs as a registered nurse. When she was finally admitted to the hospital for her last days the physician who treated her said she was not on the right pain medication or dosage for what she was suffering through!!! May God have mercy not everyone is a drug addict and she didn't deserve to suffer like she did!!!

Excellent front in staff. Excellent nurses and techs. He surrounds himself with very competent people. Been with him for about four/five years now. Lots of respect for the man.

I have had at least 15 spinal injections from Dr. Brooks and I have always had good results. He does not spend much time with you just before the injection, that is because the office visit or since Covid, telemed or phone visit is where the determination of the best way to proceed to help you. He is friendly and concerned about relievng your pain.

Office and billing employees seem to be absolutely HORRIBLE!!! I overpaid my sons bill by $872 due to a mix-up with insurance and the EOB and no employee from Pain Consultants will address this. They WILL NOT contact me, speak with me, or fix this error!! Unbelievable!! I have been working on fixing this for just under 3 months. I have called them, I have faxed, them, I have mailed them, I have had my son call them and I am still receiving a bill from them saying it is unpaid and it was overpaid by $872 on April 1, 2021. What is wrong with this office and this business practice to allow this to happen and to be unwilling to fix it.

Having worked in a very fast paced environment with a lot of heavy lifting, walking reaching twisting stooping for 30 of my years I have accrued through age and hard work ?? a few areas of severe pain in my neck and back. Finally at a point in life that I am able to address these issues. I really want to enjoy life and the outdoors. So many things I couldn’t do before and now I can at least do some things now and I am doing more. I have found all the staff at Dr.Brooks office to be kind and Knowledgeable. Dr. Brooks surgical center runs smoothly. His PA’s are phenomenal. They listen, and do what they can to help. If they can’t they can’t and are open and honest about what they can or cannot do. Much appreciated relief. Thank you Dr Brooks and Staff for making my quality of life so much better.

I was very unsure what all a pain doctor does. But every one just walked me through. With having had COVID I was quickly assured that there was hand sanitizer and I felt safe. My shots were done with no sedation but Dr Brooks walked me through everything. His voice is so calming you are put at ease throughout the process. Thank you Dr. Brooks!!!

Dr. Brooks Very Understanding and caring. The surgery center is run very smoothly from the start to the end

This is my 3 rd injection with Dr. Brooks.He takes the time to find out exactly where the best solution to the best results is needed. Relaxes team and patient.Gently shoots the local giving it time to take.Walks you through each step before he does it.I d only go to him with my back.I can walk today after shot w/o pain.

I've been seeing one of the NP's(which I prefer) for sveral years and have found them to be very professional and knowledgeable. Since I'm a retired Critical Care RN I tend to be hypercritical of healthcare providers and I have no complaints regarding the Professional staff, but the office staff are at times a little bit on the rude side. Overall I'm staisfied with the care I have received, the neuropathic pain I have in my feet is well controlled.

I have seen several pain doctors over the years, but Dr. Brooks has virtually eliminated all pain in my lumber, thoracic, and cervical areas. I receive his Radio Frequency Ablation (RFA) of the nerves in my lumbar and cervical areas. Tricare is not allowing him to perform RFA on my thoracic area however Dr. Brooks was able to do a facet nerve block that eliminated 80% of my pain in that region. Dr. Brooks is a consummate professional with a great staff. He works out of two surgery centers, one on Tuesdays and another on Thursdays to fit almost any schedule. Interestingly, he also has back problems and so is easy for him to understand the kind of pain I am experiencing. I cannot say enough good about him and his practice. He tells you the truth about what he can and cannot do, and therefore does not oversell his capabilities like I have experienced with other pain doctors. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment with him.

I had an appt to see one of Dr Brooks NPs for an intake evaluation. I was NOT told I needed to bring a Colorado ID in, I was told I needed to bring my insurance cards. I realize most likely the NP could NOT prescribe a narcotic as evidently the ID card is an office requirement. However instead of either seeing me and telling me a narcotic could not be prescribed and then bring the ID in and medication would be prescribed or even saying they would reschedule the appt when I had the ID, they just said I would not be seen. When I asked for my paperwork back the receptionist did not acknowledge me and started to copy the paperwork. When I removed my paperwork from the copier (as they have zero rights to my information as service was refused) she yelled at me and told me to get out. Truly this is a practice with no regard for clients.

I really like Dr. Brooks and all his staff. They have always been kind and respectful to me. I have fibromyalgia and the last pain clinic treated me like a drug addict seeking drugs only. Dr. Brooks offered me lots of options for pain relief and has always given me more than what I ask for.

If you are in pain satay away from his clinics. My name is adam bentz and after 5 visits in 5 months ive never even seen joseph brooks, notice i didnt include th Dr. If he does exist he needs to fire everyone. I dont want pills, said that on my first visit, be it sugary or whatever. Your wasting your time i promise

Never seen Dr Brooks in the office. The staff he hires are horrible people, making fun of you while you’re standing right there. Plus after my 2 visits I’m in more pain than ever. Thanks so much for all your help lol. I’ve actually thought about killing my self I’m in such severe pain. Wrote a note and everything. His office that is run by little girls. Dr Brooks, if you are actually ever in the office. You’re practice sucks.

I have read good reviews on Dr. Brooks but in trying to call to his office for information the phone number has been disconnected. After many tries to find another number it leaves me in disappointment.

This used to be a highly professional doctor but now he is on the band wagon with whatever makes money and is less risk to him. He will literally give you a mad that will kill you and then not answer the phone or call you back to help you. The staff is extremely rude on behalf of the doctor and in their own right. He told me I should never have a procedure done again and then when I called in pain he offered me that procedure as my only choice.

Provided excellent pain management care and advise on treatments. Highly recommended Dr. Brooks for your pain management.

Dr. Brooks is an amazing person! He takes the time to listen to you and addresses all of your concerns. I have NEVER felt 'rush' or unheard by him or his staff. His procedures are life changing and professional! Gretchen is also amazing at helping you with any referral problems or needs! I can't speak highly enough about this establishment or the people who work there!

I saw Dr. Brooks in 2014 to 2015, moved and came back in February of this year. He and his staff really very compassionate and do a great job. If you are looking for a pain management physician in COS, I would highly recommend him.
