Dr. Bruce Cook, MD

This doctor messed me up, he did a decompression surgery on me but he didn’t properly do it!! Not only did he messed up because of incompetency but NO ONE listened to my concerns, they pinned my symptoms to something completely different than what it was. It happens that I got tired after 3 years of not being heard and symptoms came back full force… he did not(no one in the facility) wanted to addressed his proper decompression… so I left to an specialist who found that his attempt to decompressing failed, not only did it failed but he and his team failed to LISTEN to me. I had to request an MRI in a manner that I didn’t want, but finally found out that my cerebellum was more compressed than before he did the surgery. I basically only lasted 1 year ( that’s being generous) feeling some relief and then everything went down hill. I’m glad he retired, he should’ve done it 100 years ago. Him and his team basically ruined 4 years of my life ,

He has a excellent bedside manner. He is great at what he does.

I wish I could leave a 1/2 star. Had my first appointment for an MRI on 3/17/2020 (The day the world closed down due to COVID) so I was patient and understanding. I lost track of the number of times I called, left messages, emails. No report on the MRI results, findings, no mailed letters. No its mid summer, I've lost hope, and start receiving letters from the hospital that I owe for the MRI readings. I told them I wasn't paying until I was updated on the readings, hoping that they would help push for results if they wanted their money. No luck. Finally got through to someone who could help in September. No apology from her or Dr. Cook, no explanation as to why it took 6months. Had the results read to me by Dr. Cook, who then recommended the pain clinic for help with my debilitating back pain. Guess what??!! NO CALL. So here's to round 2 and hoping I'll be able to obtain my health records and find a new professional practice. Its now January 2021

My first visit was in 2013 he diagnosed and repaired damage to my neck he took great care in explaining my condition and surgery. My second surgery was on my spine. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Dr. Cook was great at explaining the procedure and addressing any concerns I had. He made me feel extremely comfortable going into a major operation.

Dr. Cook is WONDERFUL! He has treated me for the last several years. He should be cloned. He listens very well. He always finds a way to keep me going with this, at times impossible to live with condition. I recommend this wonderful doctor highly.

Ruined my life!! Total Hack. Would not admit he screwed up. Im the one that has to suffer. Should have retired 20 years ago.

After having months and months of severe pain, Dr. Cook preformed a lumbar laminectomy of L4-5 S1 in August of 2010. Pain free for many years. Now 9 yrs later, I need T12 laminectomy. I trust my life with Dr. Cook as he is patient & kind and very thorough. I can't say enough positive words about him. Thank you Dr. Cook for all you do!

Dr. Cook diagnosed me with trigeminal neuralgia after an MRI. He performed MVD procedure and I have not experience the severe pain in 6 months. Dr. Cook is kind, caring and respectful. He always has time for any questions and takes time to explain his answers. Dr. Cook's positive attitude and confident character gave me the courage to have the surgery and I'm so thankful I did.

I have been a patient of Dr. Cook's since 2003. He has removed two brain tumors from my head at two different hospitals and except for the scar you would not know that I ever had brain cancer. I trust him with my life and would recommend him to anyone needing Neurosurgery. For a busy man, I find him to be patient, understanding, and empathetic. He always takes the time to answer my questions and address my concerns.

This DR. saved me from a lifetime of pain . He is my hero in these Times don't we all deserve to live pain free. I have recommended him to all my family and friends.

I highly recommend Dr. Cook. After several visits to New England Baptist and numerous failed injections I knew fusion surgery was my only option but I could never move past the office help to work with my insurance to approve the surgery. Dr. Cook reviewed my MRI with me, gave me his opinion and scheduled the fusion surgery. I felt great the night of surgery and two months later I am pain free and cannot thank Dr. Cook enough for what he has done for me.

Had 2 surgeries by Dr. Cook on lower back. 1st recovered went back to work. Few yrs later ruptured disk on other side. Dr. Cook got me in for pain shot ASAP etc.. But surgery was needed. After surgery pain didn't go Away. I KNEW WAS SOMETHING WRONG! Voiced my agony & concern on Every Visit with Dr. Cook. he sent me to Pain Dr. A yr later Had Serious Surgery in Boston same disk Nerve was still pinched. I'm Disable x5 yrs. Struggling to KEEP my Home.. never heard from anyone. Wish I was Heard

I recommend Dr. Cook very highly. He is a rockstar in my book!! After years of pain and lots id doctors opinions. He assess my situation. Scheduled surgery right away. I walked out a new woman days later . After 5 years I can only thank Dr Cook for the quality of life I have now!

I recommend Dr. Cook entirely. He listened to me and took the steps for a diagnosis. He managed my Trigeminal Neuralgia pain and then performed the MVD surgery. He is amazing!
