- Face Lift
I have complete confidence in Dr. Cook and put any fears I may have had to rest knowing I was in excellent hands. My recovery was quick and easy I don't know if that is thanks to Dr. Cook or just good genes but I was very satisfied with my recovery. As far as being prepared for the surgery I preferred not to have too much information as that may have prompted additional anxiety.

During the whole experience the entire staff made me feel like I was their only patient. Stay with me until I felt all my questions were answered & always received a prompt email or phone call back. I'm very satisfied with the results & the after care of making sure things are going smoothly for me as well as healing correctly. I would recommend Dr. Cook & his staff to anyone.

- Face Lift
I would give my experience and results a 10". The whole process exceeded my expectations. I saw Dr. Cook 3 years before I actually had the face lift. At that time we decided we would wait a few years and I wanted to loose some weight before getting the surgery. When I did return, I had a specific date in mind that gave the office very little lead time. They accomodated the request. I was very concerned about pain and several people in the office made me comfortabel that the pain would be managed, and that there was not much pain with the procedure. They were right. Everything went very smoothly and I felt confidence with Dr. Cook and everyone in his office, to the surgi-center, and the women who stayed with me in the hotel. The whole experience was seamless. Dr. Cook's office really knows the meaning of customer service. It is so rare these days to find this. It was worth the money, the time, and I am very happy with the results. I would highly recommend Dr. Cook and have handed out his cards to several people already. Thank you to everyone at Dr. Cook's office for making a major procedure so simple and such a positive experience for me. My husband thanks you too.

Everything went by without a hitch. It was a delightful experience. The Staff and the Surgeon are without a doubt, the nicest people you will ever meet. They are very helpful and so kind. Plus the Facility itself is gorgeous. From the general waiting area to the private patient rooms, everything is tidy and the decor is wonderfully subtle. I now refuse to go to any other Surgeon. This is the one, and I've never been happier. One of the best decisions I've ever made. No doubt about it.

8/27/2012
- Face Lift
Dr. Cook is an artist. He understands the nuances of facial structure and human expression.I had a full face lift, endoscopic brow lift, and fat transfer to my face. The net result was that I look refreshed, but still looked like me. Friends, aquantances and family made comments like, you look so rested, or have you lost weight, did you lighten you hair? Ultimately, no one suspected facial rejuvenation surgery, which is exactly what I wanted! A natural result.His entire staff is highly professional and top notch. I would highly recommend Dr. Cook to my family and friends.

Dr. Cook and his staff are very professional, informative and attentive. I have total confidence in his ability, guidance and knowledge of his profession and am more than satisfied with the outcome as well. The office is always spotless and well run. The surgery center is the same level of perfection. I wish all medical care I received was of the caliber that Dr. Cook provides. I have recommended Dr. Cook to several of my friends as well.

- Neck Lift
Totally Professional, all staff, the entire experience.............I should have made one request. My daughter was at her office, waiting to hear if I was out of surgury..did not hear til I was leaving. (had she been in the waiting room, someone would have notified her that I was out of surgury and in recovery.......

8/26/2012

The results were as I expected. I look the same just a little fresher. Will consider more touch ups" in the future. "

Extremely professional office and fabulous result. Very happy.

8/26/2012
- Laser Liposuction
The results are wonderful. Laser lipo on my arms has accomplished for me what exercise and diet never could! It's motivated me to keep them toned so I can extend the result for as long as possible! My only concern, and it's minor and Dr. Cook remedied it afterwards, was I needed more pain relief during the procedure, and afterwards for the first couple of days. It was more painful than I expected! But would I do it again? Absolutely, for what I got out of it.

8/26/2012
- Laser Liposuction
The staff are fantastic,friendly and reassuring The surgery itself was difficult only because I am one to over think the process. Everyone was great in helping me calm my nerves! I will return for the other procedures once I get the courage to!

8/23/2012
- Face Lift
Dr Cook and his entire staff made me feel comfortable in every meeting and discussion. They respect their patients, are very professional and courteous. I didn't want to look like someone else: I wanted to look like me, only more rested. With our daughter's wedding less than two months post-surgery, Dr Cook and his team gave me exactly what I wanted!I know as time goes by, I will be more and more pleasd with the outcome. Thank you.

7/17/2012

I was highly satisfied with the outcome. I have no scarring and look very natural. The only issue I had with the entire process was that the coordinator gave me wrong information about the cost of the surgical center. Otherwise I was completely satisfied.

I received a great deal of information both written and verbal from the doctor and his office staff. The doctor always took the time to answer any questions I had, and encouraged me to ask anything I wanted to know. I called his office several times when I had questions regarding the surgery, cost, and what to expect, and I was always treated kindly and given clear answers. I never felt that I was rushed when calling his office. Everyone took the time in answering questions until I was satisfied. My results was outstanding due to the skill, knowledge, patience of Dr. Cook. I would recommend Dr. Cook most highly.

Dr Cook is very low key and his expertise is greater than I was expecting, to be honest. He came highly recommended by a very critical person so I moved ahead, and am happy I did. I have been to his office for procedures and facials more than once, and find his approach to be very valuable.

6/12/2012

- Mommy Makeover (Breast + Body)
at first everything looked great, then the swelling stopped going down. and now i'm still edemic a year later. it seems that all the swelling is scar tissue, left over form the surgery. i will never get a flat abdomen due to the scar tissue in there. so it doesn't even look like i had the surgery. that's not the surgeon's fault, i don't think, but nonetheless, i do not have the final image i was looking for.

I was extremely nervous about the process but the surgeon was very methodic and answered all my questions. I felt he gave me an honest assessment and provided the best recommendation for my body type and hobbies. The patient coordinator was also very nice and made me feel very comfortable.

I have not yet had the surgery but was extremely impressed with my two meetings with the Doctor, with the attention to detail, and the high degree of professionalism I encountered. For example first the discussion of my medical history was more comprehensive than other consultations. Second, the discussion with the Doctor was extremely detailed and informative. He was very hands on and examined me more carefully than in other consults. Third, the meeting with the office manager was very helpful and anticipated my desire to speak with former patients. Fourth, the Surgery Center used is top notch, requiring general lab tests and an EKG before surgery, utilizing an MD anestheologist for the surgery. Fifth, the post-op care is exceptional with provisions made for a caretaker to spend the first night after surgery with the patient. Overall, the whole approach is highly rigorous and exhibits the highest level of professionalism.

Rather than surgery I was given the option of fillers to correct my problem. I was not expecting this option but was very impressed that it was offered.

More money than I anticipated. Felt a little rushed by the dr. Nurse coordinator was almost robotic but friendly. Possibly because she had so much Botox it was difficult to move her facial muscles.

Everyone was very friendly, knowledgable and professional. Justin answered my all questions in the post surgeon consultation.
