Dr. Brooks was raised in the Central Valley of California in the Apricot Capital of the World, Patterson.  His family farmed (you guessed it) Apricots and he had the privilege of  growing up with many different animal on the farm.  He was an avid FFA member and enjoyed caring for and showing animals.  His desire to become a Veterinarian came in Jr. High, and with hard work and perseverance he realized that dream when he graduated from UC Davis in 1986 as a Veterinarian. 

Dr. Brooks has practiced Equine Medicine his entire tenure as a veterinarian.  He owned and operated a mobile veterinary practice for the first 10 years. After that he opened Taylor Veterinary Hospital in 1996, building a full in-house Equine and Small Animal hospital facility.  Now able to provide the quality veterinary medicine he so desired in the setting of a full service hospital. 

Dr. Brooks and his wife Samantha have been married for over 21 years and have 5 wonderful children.  His Faith and Family, he would tell you, are the two most important things in his life.   Horses and caring for them will however take a close 3rd.
