About Us

Welcome to UR Country Doc. I have over 30 years of practice experience which I look forward to sharing with you.

As an osteopathic physician I offer the full spectrum of care with an advanced background in the musculoskeletal system. Your membership will even include osteopathic manipulation if indicated.

Professionally I practiced in Woodbury, MN for 30 years and have been practicing in the lakes area for over 3 years. I belong to the Minnesota Osteopathic Medical Society where I have served as president twice. I have been a national delegate to the American Osteopathic Association House of Delegates working on national healthcare issues. In addition I served on the Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (the osteopathic profession's school board) and on the National Osteopathic Board of Medical Examiners. Over the years I have had students rotate through the office as part of their medical school experience.

The Mpls/St. Paul magazine honored me with the designation of one of their Top Doctors in 2012.

In 2017 I was awarded the Distinguished Fellow Award by the American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians, one of only 75 members.

Family has always been a top priority for me. Pam and I are celebrating over 39 years of married life. We have been blessed with 4 children and now 9 grand-kids. Life is good.

Dr. Brooks is board certified in family medicine. She graduated from the Sanford School of Medicine of the University of South Dakota in 2007 and completed residency training at the Rapid City Regional Health Family Medicine Residency Program in Rapid City, SD, in 2010. During her clinical practice, she engaged in infant and child care, women’s health, and general adult medicine with a special interest in dermatology and preventative healthcare. Most recently, she worked with insurance companies to review prior authorizations for imaging studies using evidence based guidelines. 

Dr. Brooks lives in Baxter with her husband, Troy, and their two cats. In her free time, she enjoys photography, paint-by-numbers, hiking, stand up paddle boarding, and traveling. 

A note from Dr Brooks:

I am so happy to be here! I grew up in SW Minnesota and absolutely love this state. I’m looking forward to serving my fellow Minnesotans. 

My care philosophy begins with treating patients as I would like to be treated and finding out what truly matters to them so that we can work towards those goals together. I’m excited to begin this new chapter in my career that will allow me to practice medicine the way it should be. 

Choosing a primary care doctor is a big decision, and I would be honored to care for you and your loved ones.
