Dr. Cook is an excellent physician and surgeon. He listens and considers a patient's concern and explains things in an easy to understand way. He sometimes runs behind with his appointments, but that is only because he takes the time needed with each person.
Forever grateful for Dr. Cook's expertise—he continues to make all the difference!
Seeing the dr was fine but I was in the waiting room over an hour was not happy about that
Excellent Dr
Good
He explained everything by showing me the ct and xrays and put me at ease at our 1st meeting. I had full confidence in him and it turned out, he was right about everything!
I am very pleased with Dr. Cook
Dr.Cook is the very best at taking time with his patients to explain his plans to get you well, and always in plain English. No questions go unanswered and he has a great sense of humor.
Dr. Cook performed a far more conservative treatment called a laminotomy when another surgeon elsewhere wanted to just do a fusion. He solved my radiculopathy in a way that retained more movement. He's very thoughtful in his responses, greatly bedside manner, and highly competent. I highly recommend Dr. Cook and am so grateful he gave me the second opinion I needed.
Dr. Cook cares for his patients in a professional and caring manner. He explained everything in a way that you could understand. His knowledge is excellent with his profession.
