Meet the Team
Dr. Nathan Brooks knew from a young age that he wanted to be a dentist. There was just one problem—he didn’t care much for science. With encouragement from his grandfather, a biology professor at Purdue University, Dr. Brooks persevered, even receiving his Master’s Degree in biology from Purdue. He then enrolled at Purdue’s arch-rival, Indiana University, to pursue his Doctorate in Dental Surgery. Although his grandfather had forbidden him to wear Indiana’s colors, he was proud to take part in Dr. Brooks’ graduation ceremony.
In preparing to take over his dental practice, Dr. Brooks reflected on his own childhood trips to the dentist. He remembered how his family dentist took the time to explain why it was important that he take care of his teeth and that no matter, his dentist always made him feel at ease.
“That’s one of the things that I pride myself on: education. I don’t want to just take this instrument and put it in your mouth; I want to explain why I’m doing it and how it can benefit your oral health. Knowing what’s going on eases fear and anxiety and gives every patient the tools to improve their oral health in the long-run.”
On weekends, Dr. Brooks and his wife love to go “adventuring” with their four young children. They pull up the map, drive somewhere they’ve never been, and explore it—completely spontaneously. At home, they play board games, read, play music, and hold dance parties. Dr. Brooks and his wife have recorded an album in Nashville and plan to keep making music together. He serves his community through his church and with special projects at his practice like “Free Cleanings for Veterans” each Veterans Day and “Toys for Tots” every Christmas.
