member comment:
Dr Brooker is situated in the pain management clinic of the hospital, he is very understanding and up with the lattest treatments available. All he deals with is pain of varing sorts. There are a number of programs offered through the Pain Management Clinic and different treatments available. You will need a referal from your local GP and it might be wise for the GP to call and make an appointment for you as there can be a bit of a wait.
