About Me
I’m an allergy and immunology physician at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I chose this specialty because of the opportunity to treat a variety of people. I love that I can help improve a patient’s quality of life by treating routine conditions like seasonal allergies and food-related symptoms, while also getting to diagnose and care for patients with recurrent infections and complex immunological disorders.
My patients can expect inclusive, individualized and compassionate care when they come to see me. I ensure each patient understands all their options thoroughly before proceeding with a care plan and I provide the most innovative, evidence-based treatments available. Our field is changing fast thanks to advancements in genetic testing and biologic treatments. I love being at an academic medical center where we are up to date on medical breakthroughs and can provide these options for our patients. Our Department of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery has the most positive, friendly and fun doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses and medical secretaries you will find anywhere. All of us love to work with each other, and this translates to cohesive, compassionate care for our patients.
I’m actively involved in research efforts to find more effective and patient-friendly methods of immunotherapy, including intralymphatic immunotherapy. I’m also passionate about improving processes to eliminate unnecessary drug allergies from patients’ allergy lists. During medical school, I was inducted into the Landacre Honor Society for my research and was honored to receive the Chrysalis Project scholarship from a national allergy organization. There is an energy toward learning and growing at The Ohio State University, not only for students, but for the researchers and health care professionals who continually work toward scientific breakthroughs that benefit our community and people around the world.
I also enjoy educating the next generation of physicians. I’m currently involved with the allergy/immunology interest group at The Ohio State University College of Medicine and serve as a mentor. In addition, as a physician volunteer with the Columbus Free Clinic, I supervise and mentor medical students who are passionate about providing frontline care to patients who otherwise would lack access to quality health care.
I’m very passionate about community service and I was proud to be recognized with the Commitment to Service Award from The Ohio State University. I also serve as a physician volunteer for the Medical Reserve Corp through Franklin County Emergency Management, where I respond to disasters within our community.
I’m also passionate about advocating for improved access to quality health care for everyone at both the local and national level. My experience in this area has included meeting with legislators to discuss strategies to reduce health care disparities. I continue to work through organizations such as the Ohio State Medical Association, American Medical Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, and the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology to work toward the goal of inclusive, accessible, high-quality health care.
I’m a Westerville native and love all the things central Ohio has to offer. When I’m not working, I enjoy hiking, running and cycling in our metro parks, attending community festivals, reading and listening to podcasts. I like trying new restaurants, breweries and distilleries. I also enjoy relaxing on my porch with my dog, cat and friends.

Very professional. Listened and worked through problem with me.
Dr. Brooks was very friendly and answered all of my questions. He provided several options and plans for me to decide from.
Excellent
Dr. Brooks has always been so kind and helpful during my appointments. I had another health issue that was of great seriousness and he went the extra mile to get me information on it. My husband and I were so appreciative.
Excellent.
Dr Brooks listen very well to all my concerns and answer to my concerns with clarity
Dr Brook is the best care provider I've had since the start of my skin problem 3 years ago (and I've been to many). He listened, he explained, he understood my "quirks." He had very helpful advise.
Dr Brooks is theee BEST!He is very kind, compassionate, and caring individual.
Wonderful and full of answers!
It is not an exaggeration to say that Dr. Brooks saved my life.
PA was very good , spent more time with her than doctor
He was great at listening to my concerns, answering my questions, and helping create a plan moving forward. Explained everything in a way that made sense.
He was very professional, but also very friendly. He asked questions to find out how I was doing. He answered questions that I had about how long to take the medicine and about how the treatment was working. A nurse practitioner sat in on The visit to learn more about what the doctor does. How he does his work and how his job and her job can work together to give the patient the best care. I think this is a great idea.
Good
Dr. Brooks was definitely one of the finest doctors I have ever met! He displayed impressive knowledge of autoimmune disorder symptoms, ordered extensive blood work to pinpoint my particular condition, and treated me with the utmost respect. He spoke of various treatment plans that may benefit me, and he left the decisions to me.
Dr.Christopher Brooks utilized active listening skills in not only providing me with resources for my current allergy medications but promptly referred me to the Ear, Nose & Throat provider due to our symptoms I am experiencing.
Excellent Dr . He Dr Brooks is easy to talk to . He answers my questions with explanations I was able to understand. He was kind and took the time to really listen to me .
Very good
I appreciated his willingness to listen and not dismiss my concerns. I'm glad we're doing comprehensive testing for the issues I presented. He did well answering my questions and was very knowledgeable about the condition we may suspect.
Excellent
Exc

Very interested in my symptoms. Appeared to have studied my chart
All went well
Awesome! Explained everything
Physician are very nice and respectful. I. Every body are the same.
I love Dr. Brooks! I can't think of anything I don't like about him.
Has done all that he said he would do
Dr. Brooks, per usual, was familiar with my history, reviewed my current allergy status, inquired whether I needed/wanted additional therapy options, and was quite thorough in exam.
He took the time to listen to me
Dr. Brooks is amazing! Always listens and has alternatives to help
Very professional and knowledgeable. I'm extremely glad I went to see him, I'm breathing better than I have in years.
He did an excellent job explaining his thoughts on my bee allergy, how he would diagnose it & what treatment options would be.
No issues
Very positive experience. Received more detailed information here than with any other provider I've seen for this condition.
Very friendly and described everything very well
Dr. Brooks is excellent. He's extremely knowledgeable and I'm a complex patient. He listens and works with me to make getting IVIG as easy as possible.
Nice, attentive, helpful
He was very thorough and explained that due to the test being inconclusive that he would have me both complete the next test in the asthma diagnosis at the main hospital and visit the ENT department so they can check my throat for another possible reasoning for the results of the spirometry. He also had read my MyChart message before our appointment so he had a clear understanding of why I made this appointment.
He was good. I feel like he wanted to help find a solution to my problem.
Very patient and thorough, spent a lot of time going over my history and gaining an understanding of my issue. He explained everything really clearly and was respectful overall.
Dr Brooks is knowledgeable, personable, professional, and seems genuinely concerned about my health care. Please allow him the time as he needs for his other patients as well as he does me. An excellent doctor.
He is the best and I have sent him messages through the portal and he is great about responding.
Personable caring and easy to understand
Dr Brooks was great! He took time to explain things and make recommendations.
The care provider was very knowledgeable. He answered all of my questions and explained things well. He was kind and I did not fee rushed.
The best doctor I've ever seen.
I really didn't have any bad experiences with the provider. He was awesome, very personable, and great sense of humor. Which is good because that's how I manage and sometimes my humor is a little dark. He rolled with it. Asked a ton of questions and spent more time with me going over history and concerns than honestly anyone ever has.
My care provider was excellent!
This was my first time meeting Dr. Brooks after being referred to investigate a potential diagnosis. The condition we discussed doesn't seem to be what's causing my current symptoms, and over the course of the appointment it became pretty clear. Dr. Brooks took the time to empathetically walk me through his thought process and how we could still fully rule the dx in/out. When patients come in thinking they have a certain condition causing their symptoms and just want answers, it kind of leaves a bad taste in your mouth to just be told, "the good news is you don't have XYZ condition. Let's have you follow up with primary care and"Dr. Brooks did the opposite of that, and made me feel like we'll catch the diagnosis, if it exists, even if I need to wait a few months for symptoms to flare up, because he already ordered the tests, sent me home with a specimen collection kit, and took the time to explain it all.
Very informative
Dr. Brooks is a caring and knowledgeable provider.
