Byron Cook, D.P.M.

This is my 2nd visit to see Dr. Cook. During the first visit we spoke about the constant pain that I feel EVERY step that I take. We discussed taking x-rays during my next visit & future surgery because I wasn't insured at the time. Based on our initial discussion, I chose the most expensive insurance to prepare for surgery. This will cost me a couple of thousand dollars extra over the next year. During today's visit, without any x-rays. he flat out said, surgery isn't an option & sent me home with pads that I could have picked up at CVS for about $8. Please update his bio because it makes him sound like he's capable of complex surgeries which in reality, he's just a general podiatrist.

He is very personable along with being very knowledgeable! He explains the diagnosis thoroughly. He takes time with you to answer your questions.

Very knowledgeable and speaks to you scientifically. Excellent doctor.

He did a fantastic job thank God so grateful

Excellent doctor.

He is the best answers all your questions

This was my first visit with Doctor Cook. He listened carefully to me and seemed to know the answers to my questions before I finished asking them. I definitely will be returning to him.

Dr Cook was very thorough and provided information and instruction so that you can relate and understand. Very personable and professional! I would highly recommend him.

Very nice person

Nice doctor, funny and personable

I came with foot pain . I can barely walk and he gave me nothing for the pain . The time before this visit I had to beg him to remove a corn from my little toe. Prior he filed it down. When I asked him to remove it he gave me a hard time and then removed it. He don’t want to do the work he just wants to collect. He didn’t wear a mask.

I feel like I am in good hands when he is checking out any foot problems I might have.

Great bedside manner

A visit with Dr. Cook is like visiting with a friend. The condition of my feet is much improved since I started coming to OAA. Every one there is great.

He was awesome, talked to me like a friend. I felt comfortable and my anxiety completely went Away!

We like Dr. Cook a lot...He’s the best..

Dr. Cook has excellent bedside manners. My son was nervous about the procedure (ingrown nail) and Dr. Cook was very reassuring and explained in simple words what he was going to do. He also made sure that my son was comfortable during local anesthesia. Great doctor, as expected at OAA!!!

Dr. Cook is the best my feet have been happy since I started going to him.

Our family has seen Dr. Cook for years, long before he joined this practice. Dr. Cook is the reason we came to OAA for our care. Along with being an expert in care of the feet, he is very knowledgeable in many aspects of medicine. I learn something new at every visit.

He is very knowledgeable and personable.

Dr. Cook carefully listened to all I had to say before giving his opinion. He put me at ease while giving recommendations. Bedside manner was very good. I felt very comfortable throughout the visit.

Love Dr.Cook. Takes great care of my feet. Gives me tips on how to take care of any problems. Also very personable. Makes you feel like a friend instead of just a patient.

Dr. Cook was amazing. He took his time explaining the mechanics of my issues to me and offered options. He had great recommendations and really seemed to care about my issue with my foot. Being an athlete, I appreciated his approach in diagnosing the problem and not trying to offer just a “quick fix” to bandaid the issue. Looking forward to getting better and back to working out with the help from Dr. Cook!

Dr. Cook's expertise and manner in which he cares for the patient are simply amazing, and honestly very appreciated.

Dr. Cook was very informative on my upcoming surgery. We have a plan in place for when we can get back to "business as usual", as schedule in person visits and elective surgery. He explained the steps, and what to expect. Dr. Cook is a good communicator. I feel confident that he is the surgeon for me.

I had the issue with my foot for several years. It was very embarrassing and scared me to think about it. Dr. Cook was a complete professional and took care of it in one visit. I couldn’t be happier this is behind me.

He is a loving and caring doctor! He is tentative and extremely competent.

Awesome foot surgeon..my hero

Exceptional doctor. Dr. Cook takes the time to talk with me about my diabetic related problems. He is patient and he listens to what I have to say. Thank you doctor.

He took the time to explain what was going on with my foot and gave easy to follow suggestions for stretches.

Dr Cook was super nice, polite, and actually "cared" to figure out my issue.

First time visit with Dr Cook took his time to explain everything

I took my 6 year old to Dr. Cook for treatment of a plantar wart. My son was being brave but I knew he was slightly nervous. Dr. Cook was friendly and explained the options and what he would be doing in manner that kept him at ease. We go back in 2 weeks and I know I won’t have any issue getting my son to go :)

Efficient, very competent, and extremely personable

Very good patient interaction.

Dr. Cool is amazing. I went to him with foot pain left after a break I had 7 years ago. He explained everything to me, answered all my questions and provided me with the best treatment plan. He performed surgery on my foot and repaired my muscles. I am 6 weeks out from surgery and feel better than when I went in. The healing process was easy and him and his staff were there every single step of the way to answer all my questions (and believe me, I had many). I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Cook.

Professional, succinct, friendly, gave good instructions

Nice and to the point.

Good

I was really hoping Dr. Maehrer and Dr. Cook would be able to help me. But in both times with the contact cast, I felt they stopped the boot short of the heel healing. They do not see that the skin meets but forms a soft scab. Both times the scab fell off and the ulcer opened up again. I am now treating this on my own and will have to seek another doctor who can help me. I was so hopeful and sure that they could help - but now just disappointed.

every thing you could sk for your doctor. Caring, understanding and compassionate. Would not have any other doctor take care of my amputated foot but him

Best explanation I've had about the structural problems creating pain in foot, and noninvasive remedies to start. Thank you!

He is the best

He's great! My only reservation is that he spoke a little too fast. I had to pay very close attention to what he was saying. I know he probably says the same things many times a day but, it sounded a bit automatic which made it difficult to follow at times. I was comprehending at about a quarter of a second delay of his delivery. Not a major crime but, just saying ...

Dr. Cook is a very kind and caring doctor who explains everything to you. I would recommend him without hesitation.

i am so pleased with him being a diabetic he exams all angles of my feet and takes his time . great doctor number 1 for me
