Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Cook I appreciate you so much. Thanks again.

I am an OLD polio patient whose spine was fused over 60 years ago and one who has broken several bones. I had to begin wearing braces again later in life. I now have post-polio sequelae. I have outlived 5 other orthopedic doctors in my lifetime. Dr. Cook is rare in his understanding and patience with old polios. He takes the time to listen to me and explain my current problem. He never seems rushed or too busy to listen to me as my problems are mostly due to over 70 years of compensation. I find his staff to be considerate and friendly. That reflects on the doctor. Several of my family members also see Dr. Cook. He is an old fashion physician...and that is better than just a doctor. I am very critical of doctors as I am also an old orthopedic/neuro RN. Dr. Cook is a very special physician and I pray he outlives me.

Dr. Cook has taken great care of me and my mother. He did everything possible to keep me from having a knee replacement; but it just wasn't in the cards for me. He did a partial knee replacement and I'm much better. Great doctor with a great bedside manner.

After suffering with hip pain for over 20 years that interfered with my running trails or hiking, Dr Cook was able to determine what my problem was and did surgery that has alleviate my pain. I had seen several other orthopedic surgeons who misdiagnosed me and who'd said there was nothing they could do. Dr Cook did my surgery in February and I'm back biking and hiking PAIN FREE. I can now sleep without waking up in pain. Obviously I highly recommend Dr Cook.

Had carpal tunnel and ulnar nerve surgery by Dr Cook. He is professional in every way, as is his staff. His "surgery as a last resort" was exactly what I was looking for. He thoroughly explains things in :layman's terms and really takes his time in those explanations. His PA, Michelle, got back to me instantaneously when I had questions. My surgery was June 13, 2017. A BIG A-PLUS for Dr. . Christopher Cook!!!

Dr.Chris Cook and his office staff are both professional and dedicated to provide excellent service. Dr.Cook preformed a partial knee replacement on me. Everything went smooth and he did an amazing job. Everytime I needed his office to assistance with insurance documentation he or his nurse was right on top of it. All it took was one call and his office was calling me back. I recommend Dr.Cook and will use him again if I need an orthopedic surgeon.

A month has passed, my open carpal tunnel surgery was very successful !! I plan on having my other hand released soon. Doctor Cook and staff are very professional and pleasant. His manners, concern of your wellbeing and surgical procedures are excellent! The facilities are very adequate, clean and waiting area large and accommodating. I would recommend Summit Medical hospital to anyone wanting or needing in my case, outpatient surgery and care! Thank you Doctor Cook and Staff!!

Dr. Cook is amazing! He listens to your situation/s and cares about how you feel and how your ailments effect your daily routine. Dr. Cook offers multiple options of treatment, and prefers minimally invasive treatments as first treatment. Surgery is a last resort or explains if the only resort. He is very knowledgeable in his field and makes you feel important. A truly kind Doctor. I am very pleased with his staff of nurses, Physical Therapists and administration team.
