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.

We saw Dr. Cook at the Omaha location. The procedures generally went well, but there have been problems with other staff members.

Would NOT recommend. He forgets seeing you as a previous patient. Forgets what injections he scheduled you for and doesn't even chart your progress correctly. Their notes are not accurate. 4 years with them and only worse over time.

Midwest Pain Clinic has been a lifesaver. My back issues are manageable and day to day living is much less painful thanks to Dr. Cook
