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 is amazing

Highly recommend Dr. Cook for pulmonology needs
I had an excellent experience with Dr. Cook and his office staff. He was patient and explained everything and answered questions in a non-hurried manner. I had a bronchoscopy and he was very organized and professional throughout that process. Follow up appointment was timely and review of procedure was clear. I always felt like my opinions were valued as we worked through my diagnosis. I would highly recommend Dr. Cook.

excellent on all points!
Dr Cook always strikes me as knowledgeable and well up to date. I also find two-way communication with him to be excellent and he never appears rushed even at the height of Covid. As a bonus if I have minor questions between visits I find his staff handles most quickly and well. If Dr Cook needs to talk to me directly he will contact me. Friendly first class service from check-in to check-out, I couldn't ask for more!

No…have never had a doctor raise their voice in anger till my visit with Cook. We disagreed on something that had nothing to do with my visit. I told him we needed to agree to disagree and he kept on. I am 73 and he is 45. I finally said I don’t need to be there and he said I didn’t so I left. Very unprofessional behavior for a so called doctor.

This was my first visit with Dr. Cook and all in all I was pleased with him, and his nurse, Maggie, was warm and friendly. Dr. Cook was personable, asked questions about my past health history, did not rush through the visit, and seemed compassionate. I was greatly improved after a few days on the medication he prescribed. He was not pleased that I have chosen not to receive the Covid "vaccine" (which is really not a "vaccine" at all), did not hesitate to let me know he disagreed with my opinion, and indicated I was listening to the "wrong people." I don't mind someone disagreeing with me; but no mandates, please! I would recommend him to friends and family.

I have never been treated by a physician that yelled at me and called me STUPID! Instead of being kind and reassuring He was very Argumentative and took offense to me questioning the nature of the MNRA Vaccinations. I view it as new and highly experimental and he inferred I was calling him stupid which of course I wasn't and even told him that. We'll he wished me luck very sarcastically. I will no longer be under his care effective immediately and have lost all respect for the North Oaks Health System.
