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.

He helped me out at a time I literally could not get any help. I gotta give him a good review for it. Another couple days of fighting with my regular drs, and I would probably have been too weak to walk. Thank you. Fight socialized medicine, as it’s killing people through sheer neglect.

I went in as a new patient for a URI. Dr. Cook figured out I had the beginnings of pneumonia, explained everything to me, and spent a lot of time answering my questions. One of the very best doctors I have seen!!!!!!

I'm a 30 year old male and have seen Dr. Cook several times. Each time I've seen him he's been extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and just a down to earth guy providing great medical care. Dr. Cook is very easy to talk with and not only listened to all my concerns but also worked on ways to address them and other related items I never would have thought of. I feel like he's a doctor who treats without passing judgment and just wants to help. I'd recommend Dr. Cook to family and friends.
