Very good
Couldn’t ask for a better surgeon! 1st class in all ways. Explains things well, down to earth.
First time meeting him and he explained my issue which I had know already but after seeing him I at least felt like a human being with a back issue. I am in need of surgery but I do not know him well enough to jump into major spine surgery. Second opinion is needed.
The best
He was very helpful and truthful about my health. Explained everything that was done
Great visit. He was kind and informative about the surgery I'm having.
Dr. Cook has been absolutely amazing!!
I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Cook. From the very beginning, he explained everything thoroughly and made sure I understood each step of the process leading up to surgery. He was never pushy and always took the time to answer my questions. On the day of surgery, I felt completely confident because of how well he had guided me through the process. After the procedure, my pain was completely gone, and I’m so grateful for the excellent care I received. I’m very glad to have had Dr. Cook as my doctor and I highly recommend him.
Excellent continuity of care
Dr. Cook came into my appointment already knowledgeable about my history. He listened intently, he worked out a plan of action, he spent well over 45 minutes with me during my appointment and made sure all my questions were answered before the appointment was over. He put a referral in Before I left and I already have an appointment set up for that specialist. I have never worked with a doctor that was so efficient, and listened so well I highly recommend Dr. Cook.
