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. Cooke never followed up on a procedure I wanted done; I had to badger his office for weeks to get anywhere- then the pandemic hit (and I never got the procedure.) I asked him to write a letter recommending I work remotely as I've had pneumonia 3x in the last 5 yrs, a recent bronchoscopy for lung issues, etc; he said 'that's no excuse- everyone gets pneumonia.' I called my insurance co and had a new PCP assigned within an hour. Avoid this Dr if you care at all about your health.

He takes the time to go over your symptoms, he's thorough and loves to share his knowledge . In addition to being knowledgeable he seems to be an honest caring doctor .
