Worst vet EVER he is hateful Nd abusive twords the animals. He takes up volunteer work to look good for his clients. I worked here in high school and can honestly say he is a walking demon. He only treats his own dog with care and love numerous times I witnessed him smack tiny Chihuahuas hit bigger dogs in the head and nobody knows because of the fake face he puts on. Talk about the devil in sheeps clothing. I didnt want to leave here and yes I QUIT because of his abuse and my dad came down and tried to toe to toe with him but of course he only picks on animals smaller than him and beats his wife black and blue. Anyone who honestly thinks he is a good person to their animals isnt someone who pays enough attention to them. If you cant see this fool for what darkness he has inside ur just as bad as he. He has anger problems severely but talking with him once u would never suspect how evil he is. He should not be in business. I felt bad for leaving all of your helpless animals with him but I cant save them all. Working for him made me not want to work in a vet ever again but I gave it a go anyways and realized there are so much more wonderful vet doctors who really love the animals but this one is a rotten APPLE. DONT BOTHER COMMENTING BROOKS YOUR REPLIES ARE ALL JUST AS FAKE AS UR CARE FOR HELPLESS ANIMALS. AND I THINK U ARE A COWARD!!!!! SHOW UR TRUE COLORS AND STOP ACTING. U NEED TO BE SHUT DOWN AND I HOPE THAT DAY IS COMING SOON I CANT BELIEVE UR STILL UP AND RUNNING. All the support from his "church" clients dont see his demons??? Strange. I will never recommend him to anyone ever I have nothing but bad to say about BROOKS. WIFE BEATING PUNK. I believe he stays in his office to contemplate the responses he will give here on Google to keep making himself falsely look good. DONT TAKE YOUR BABIES TO BROOKS THEY WONT BE THE SAME. I WILL NEVER FORGET THE HORRID THINGS I SAW AND HOW HE TREATED ME WHEN I TRIED TO STAND MY GROUND WITH HIM. COWARD, COWARD, COWARD. AND TO HIS FRIENDS UR ALL BLIND!! HIS KENNEL AREA IS DISCUSTING AND LOOKS LIKE TINY BOXES! POOR ANIMALS BEING BOARDED THERE ARE PROBABLY TRAUMATIZED BY THE TINY SPACE THEY HAVE TO STAY IN. PLEASE DONT TAKE UR ANIMALS THERE IF THEY ARE LIKE FAMILY AND U LOVE THEM AT ALL TRUST WHAT UR READING. GOOGLE OTHER CLINICS NONE OF THEM HAVE ANY COMMENTS ON THERE PAGES THAT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT ABUSE. or the animals being abused. That should tell u something. Be smart dont overlook what u read these people are being honest when they say these events took place and they saw the same things. Be smart.

I wouldnt even give this place one star! The staff that works there are nice, the doctor, on the other hand is not only abusive to his staff, he is also abusive to the animals when the owner isnt there, and mainly abusive to the animals that do not act how he wants them to act, and he says you have to correct them when doing bad behavior, i agree with that, BUT hitting a dog is NOT the answer, nor is it your dog to hit. I can take rude comments but to watch him throw his hand back as far as he could and slam the medal part of the nail clippers on top of the dogs head is absolutely horrible. He also has a major mouth on him, I am sure he thought no one was around him but I was there behind him hearing him cuss up a storm over an animal in his care, I just turned around and walked away. He also like I said is beyond RUDE to his staff. It is one thing to correct someone on his staff who may have messed up, its another thing to be super rude and making snide comments. I have heard from and know past employees or people who have volunteered there, and they will all tell you the same things I am saying. This is one place that could ruin you in wanting a career in this field if you never knew there were WAY better clinics around. He certainly has his loyal clients fooled on who they think the owner/doctor is. What staff he has that has put up with him truly are angles, he is not though. I am sure no one really has the balls to stand up and I wasnt going to but I cant take the image of him hitting that poor dog out of my head. The animals cant talk but I can. Believe what you will, I only hope more people will come forward and tell what it is like to work on the inside like I have. I wasnt there long, thank God, the situation that happened saved me from having to work at this place. Saying I hated it, is the nice way to put it. My response to Dr. Brooks response, I had a huge response typed out, not needed, because you show your colors on your own, therefore I am only going to address a few things here. First off please note i never stated I quit, I was while employed with you looking for a new job after I saw what i saw. You can in fact try and make me look bad all you want I stand by what I say and I know SEVERAL people who can back me up, even one dating back to the start of your practice. And all I have to say stating family death, 3 days of bereavement, legally never got it, note those days start the day of the death, which i was terminated in that time frame.

They must use the same unprofessional office support staff for billing as they do for secretarial services. I have received notice that I had unpaid bills for animals I do not have. They have threatened legal action for services that cannot exist because there are no animals to receive them. I know this is not a case of mistaken address as they referred to me by name in the notice. I see though from the rest of the reviews that this "clinic" is more interested in turning a profit than providing customer service to their human and animals patrons. The office staff has been of no help with the issue and insist there were services rendered for imaginary animals. I request documentation of office visits and receipts. *And just received a call from my ex-husband. BAC tried to charge his card for the alleged services. How would they even get his information? Very fraudulent that they would attempt the charge a card they are not in anyway authorized to use.

I CANT BELIEVE THIS PLACE IS STILL OPEN. I worked for Bartow Animal Clinic for about a week. While there, I witnessed the Vet tech/receptionist smack the dogs in the face with the nail clippers to subdue them while trimming their nails. She also threatened to take my check away and use it to buy new locks. I may have not turned the key in as quickly as they would have liked, considering I was on vacation, but WITHHOLDING CHECKS FROM EMPLOYEES IS ILLEGAL. The vet tech also used the N word multiple times. How could I tell dr brooks about it when he is just as evil as she was? He is SO RUDE to his employees and will call you stupid and incompetent. Its abuse. The staff and the animals are abused and its so sad. Please do not take your pets here. Go elsewhere.
