Beatrice M Brooks's Online Review Report Card

Another one of the "gems" in the Bartlett Regional Hospital Emergency Room. Dr. Brooks seems to be unhappy in her work, and to be entirely honest, when you are considered one of the worst doctors in Juneau, Alaska, it's time to start reevaluating your profession. Some doctors are best in specialties that don't require direct interaction with patients. That certainly not something that someone should be ashamed of. We are all different. The sad thing is that some people just don't get it, then take people when they're feeling horrible, and make them feel even worse. There's a reason that ERs have such an incredible turnover. It's not an easy job. Unfortunately, it's because of this that people who have no compassion for their patients are able to keep their job — regardless of how bad of a reputation they have. Though Dr. Brooks has a horrible reputation in Juneau, the problem at Bartlett Regional Hospital seems to be endemic. The standard is so low, that some of these doctors who would be unemployed elsewhere have terrorized the Bartlett emergency room for years. There's certainly a level perspective involved with reviewing doctors, but I believe the most telling thing is that most of the nurses who work in the Bartlett Emergency Room, share the same opinions about many of the doctors.

I went into the ER & waited 4 hrs to be seen. Dr. Brooks came into the room & wouldn't listen to me & rudely interrupted me.She said why are you here? I explained.She was rude,eyes were bugged,non concerned,disrespectful.I've have never been so humiliated in my life!!Or treated so badly!Then I realized I was not going to get any help for the extreme pelvic floor pain I was having.I was so upset and my blood pressure was already extremely high from not feeling well. I expressed that I needed a pelvic floor ultrasound.She said well that isn't going to happen at this time of night.I went into the ER at 7 p.m. & was finally seen at 10:04 p.m.The nurse Cece came in as she knows I was treated poorly to calm me down some & explained she wished she could help me but she works directly under Dr.Beatrice Brooks & she obviously doesn't deem my situation as a medical emergency.Turns out I had a horrible bladder infection.Dr. Brooks was short with me and very unconsiderate & non sympathetic!

I respect this physician's scientific integrity and medical training. Her emergency care of my ruptured vertebral disc was outstanding. I left the ER relatively pain-free, reassured, and educated about back injury prevention. Her support staff made an excellent team under her leadership.

I found her to be extremely unprofessional, after waiting for almost an hour for Dr.Brooks to return to check on me I looked out the window of my room to see her joking in the nurses station with one of the nurses. The fact that I could barely breathe hardly seemed to concern her & I felt as if I was seen as just another burden on her time. I would rather die than have to depend on Dr. brooks as a physician - and yes, it was that bad.
