About

Mr Brookes qualified from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in 1993. He has been a consultant ophthalmologist at Moorfields Eye Hospital and Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children since 2004, specialising in adult and paediatric glaucoma and cataract surgery. He provides a tertiary level service for childhood glaucoma and a second opinion for all types of complex glaucoma in both adults and children; he has the largest specialist paediatric glaucoma practice in the UK. His passion is complex and revision glaucoma surgery in both children and adults but is also happy performing routine cataract surgery and primary glaucoma surgery. He also practises privately at the London Claremont Clinic in West London, as well at Moorfields.

As an Internationally recognised specialist in childhood glaucoma, he lectures both Nationally and Internationally in glaucoma and for the past 8 years has volunteered for the ORBIS programme, providing teaching and training to local doctors in developing countries, including Bangladesh, India, Vietnam, China and Mongolia.

Although primarily a clinician and surgeon, Mr Brookes has published widely in recent years and his outcomes of glaucoma surgery in children, 360-degree trabeculotomy, tube implant surgery and laser photocoagulation have just been published in peer-reviewed journals.

Outside medicine, Mr Brookes plays the violin regularly and has performed with the Great Ormond Street Hospital Symphony Orchestra. He is a keen runner and has raised thousands of pounds for vision-related charities by running 3 London marathons and 2 Brighton marathons.

Explanation

Mr Brookes was totally reassuring and put my mind at rest before my laser surgery. I had been somewhat apprehensive as the sight in my dominant right eye had deteriorated substantially. The procedure took minutes and was pain free and totally successful. I am so grateful!

This was my second appointment with Mr Brookes, he is always very courteous, always gives me his full attention and never holds back with the truth which I appreciate. I feel extremely safe and comfortable being treated by him as I believe his professionalism comes first in his dealings with people. My niece recommended him to me as she has been studying under him and I have found her assessment to be completely accurate.

Explanation

I have seen Mr. Brookes 3 times now and have found him to be patient, realistic about my condition, clear in his explanation and both warm and courteous in his manner. This is really important as I will be seeing him at least annually for the foreseeable future and building a relationship of trust is really important. I feel really confident that I have someone to depend upon for good care going forward.
