Professional profile
About Dr. Brooks
Naomi Brooks, MD, came to AREOLA from an aesthetic practice where the surface question was often raised only at the very end of a much longer course. She developed a consultation style that makes space for patients who want completion, patients who want a visibly distinct plate and patients who are not yet sure what the next step should mean.
Dr. Brooks sees elective, unilateral and selected revision patients in Boston, including adults who have lived with an earlier plate system for a decade or more. She coordinates with established care teams when appropriate and pays close attention to timing, fatigue from prior treatment and the patient’s desired pace of decision-making.
