Dr. Fitz J. Brooks was born and raised on the beautiful island of Jamaica. He earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and Chemistry from Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach, Florida. He then pursued his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree at the University of Florida College of Dentistry.
During his time at the University of Florida, Dr. Brooks was actively involved in several organizations and played a key role in organizing and attending multiple dental humanitarian trips to the Bahamas and Jamaica. After completing dental school, he proudly served in the United States Army for seven years, practicing general dentistry for five of those years.
Dr. Brooks later specialized in pediatric dentistry, completing his training at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital in Miami, Florida. Passionate about providing exceptional dental care, he is dedicated to ensuring the children of South Florida receive comprehensive treatment while educating their families on the importance of oral health.
Outside of dentistry, Dr. Brooks enjoys traveling and spending time with family and friends, exploring new restaurants, and relaxing at the beach.
