John Q. Cook, MD

Laser Liposuction

I FELT VERY WELL CARED FOR DURING MY ENTIRE EXPERIENCE. DR. COOK IS A TALENTED SURGEON AND VERY KIND. EVERYONE IN THE ENTIRE STAFF MADE ME FEEL COMFORTABLE AND WELL CARED FOR. I AM VERY HAPPY WITH MY RESULTS AND MY RECOVERY WAS EASY AND COMFORTABLE AS WELL.

Face Lift

Excellent result, highly skilled surgeon, Dr Cook very available after surgery.

Breast Reduction

The results are fantastic, I can't tell you how much better I feel physically and emotionally after the surgery. I felt very well supported throughout the entire process. the results from a technical perspective were better than I had hoped they would be. I would recommend Dr. Cook and team to my friends and family, absolutely. I am able to fit in clothes more comfortably. I am able to run and jog now without discomfort. I used to have to wear 2 highly supportive bras at once just for day to day activities and now I can wear a thin regular sports bra. My chest wall was very compressed due to supportive garments and that isn't necessary anymore. My ability to get from a seated to a standing position, my back and neck pain is dramatically improved. I had no idea how much better I would feel. My posture is completely different now and it is vastly improved I actually stand taller than I did before. My shoulders used to go numb at the end of the day and that is gone. A tremendous improvement in my quality of life!

Dysport®

The dysport turned out nicely. I don't have any complaints. I am very happy with my experience with Dr Cook and the office staff.

Dr Cook and his entire team are best in class. They are honest and direct about results and quick to dissuade you from doing things that won’t have a outcome that meets or exceeds expectations. I am extremely pleased with the results. Any and all experiences with Dr Cook and his team have been terrific. I will continue to be a patient for all future needs. The contour of my waist and hips is natural and enhances my figure subtly but beautifully. Really noticed a difference in how my clothes fit. .

Fat Transfer

Everyone very friendly and instill confidence especially Dr. Cook. He has years of experience which puts your mind at ease. I really liked how he had positive affirmations during the procedure. Just wish it was closer to my house - I'm in far west suburbs and neither location is convenient.

Breast Augmentation

Good care. Good results

Laser Liposuction

Dr Cook and his Surgery assistant were so good at making me feel comfortable during the surgery itself and all appointments after. I felt very comfortable asking questions and expressing levels of pain that needed to be managed during the procedure which they quickly did. Dr Cook is so warm and welcoming that I didn’t feel nervous. I also thought all of the follow up appointments with Brittany were great too. She was very thorough. I am also very happy with my results! I had Bodytite performed on my thighs and see a major improvement. I usually feel very self conscious of my thighs even just changing clothes at the gym or wearing shorts around the house. I feel way more confident already and I am looking forward to summer when I know I will have more confidence wearing a bathing suit and shorts!

Breast Lift

Dr. Cook is the BEST! My results are amazing! I feel like a completely different person. I wish I would have done it sooner! The results exceeded my expectations!

Face Lift

It's a little too soon because I just had the procedure a week ago. The swelling and bruising are very apparent. I can, however, tell that the result will be great, which is the single best thing. Everyone was highly professional and experienced. Dr Cook and his staff were very accommodating, answering all of my questions, and ensuring that I was okay.

BOTOX® Cosmetic

Botox not placed as well as previous...

Dr. Cook and staff are patient focused. They address concerns with solutions and or guidance. I do not have to wait long periods for follow up care. The results addressed most of my major concerns. My family sees positive change.

Tummy Tuck

Dr. Cook always listens to what my hopes and expectations are, and is always very realistic on what he can do. He is very courteous and I feel very artistic.

Tummy Tuck

Still early in recovery, so I'm not 100% satisfied yet. Dr. Cook, Brittany and Layla are great and always take good care of me! Waited 8 years to have skin removed and now it's gone, it's pretty awesome.

Breast Augmentation

I loved doctor cook and his staff, all very professional and attentive. We were on the same page from the very first meeting, he gave me confidence that I was going to have a great result. I am thrilled with my results! I feel like a new person.

Eyelid Surgery

I will to say he (dr cook) is probably one of the nicest physicians I have ever met in all the years I've been seeing doctors. His compassion for patients is five star and I felt very comfortable with the office procedures. He did not try and sell me or upgrade anything. And was very knowledgeable and gave me quite a bit at this time. The follow-up meetings are very important to me and I trusted his knowledge in telling me things would progress Even if it took time . He also showed me many examples of past procedures with patients and it allowed me to trust my decision in using him . I will continue to use him for anything I may need in the future. I can see better , and it's not noticeable that I had any skin removed from my eyelids at a young age . It was a hereditary thing and so glad I looked into the procedure .

Breast Augmentation

The staff and surgeon were all very nice and polite.Their experience make you feel safe and secure through surgery process. Feel more confidence.

Neck Lift

Everyone I spoke with were helpful, accommodating and friendly. Dr. Cook listed to my needs and made me feel confident that I would achieve my objectives. All of my questions were patiently answered even when I asked them more than once! The surgery itself was painless and the recovery easy with my in-house surgery. After my surgery Dr. Cook and the group went out of their way to insure that I was taken care of post-op -- from the ride home to Dr. Cook visiting me when I could not get back into the Chicago office. I am extremely happy with the results and all of the follow up care I received from the staff. You have a wonderful group and I would highly recommend your practice to others. No pain, results were exactly as promised. I look great!

Restylane®

It was my second time so I was prepared for the procedure. Easy to schedule and was performed efficiently. No bruising and immediate results.

Face Lift

The results of my facelift procedure were truly wonderful. Dr. Cook did an amazing job and I healed rather quickly. My follow up visit today with Brittany was a nice check in and assurance they provided to me for piece of mind. I was also scheduled for a chemical peel which was wonderful and when I went to pay they said it was complimentary. That was truly kind. I'm extremely happy with my facelift procedure and amazed how quickly I healed.

Neck Lift

Dr. Cook and his staff did everything possible to assure an excellent outcome with my surgery and they succeeded. Due to logistics, since I could not get to their office the day after surgery, Dr. Cook even generously accommodated me by coming to my home to unwrap bandages and check on me. After surgery everyone from the receptionists to the nurses could not have been more thorough or friendly when answering my questions.

Eyelid Surgery

Absolute professionalism! Very good outcome

Rhinoplasty

Dr. Cook was referred to me by a friend. Saw his work and did a lots of research before deciding to have my nose job done. Dr. Cook went above beyond to answer my questions and to prepare me for the lifetime change. There was no rushing he took his time to explain all the details. His bedside manners coupled with his remarkable skills. He is very professional and his staff is fantastic. They make a dream team. I am 2 months post op and can see great results. Can't wait to see the final work after the swelling goes down completely. Knowledgeable Friendly Staff

Face Lift

I look better, but still look natural, like myself. Every aspect of the experience was handled in the most professional manner

Laser Liposuction

Everyone was so nice and helped calm my pre-procedure nerves. Andi and Justin gave me lots of info on what to expect and calmed my nerves. Brittany was awesome - so nice, helpful and caring. And of course Dr Cook is very very talented and I'm very very happy with my results. I've already recommended friends to Dr Cook and I wouldn't trust anyone else! My results are better than I expected!

Tummy Tuck

The doctor and staff were great and did a great job

Laser Liposuction

I think that Dr. Cook must make excellent customer/patient experience a priority with his team because everyone is always friendly, informative, patient, and professional. I also appreciate Dr.Cooks honesty about what will yield the best results. I think he wants the best results, too... I trust him... and that is really important to me.

Breast Reduction

I feel so much better about myself, my clothes choices are different, I feel stronger...just wish I had done it earlier in my life. The entire experience changed my life. The staff was professional from the very first visit and continues to be so...the outcome could not be better.Dr Cook is the ultimate professional and caregiver. I never felt rushed which is a rarity in today's world.I would highly recommend Dr Cook. Kudos to Brittany as well for always being there.

Other

Although I am only 6 weeks post-op and therefore I still have a lot of swelling, I can see that the results are going to be exactly what I wanted. The level of courtesy and friendliness of staff is exceptional.

Injectable Fillers

Again, I am still a bit swollen and sore, but I can already tell I am going to look less gaunt and a bit younger! Yippee! Can't wait to see how I look in a week. I am very pleased with my experience. Dr. Cook is wonderful and even though today I am a bit swollen and sore, I can tell I am going to like how I look. Very happy with this! I have never had to wait a long time at his office and it seemed as if I did this time but I understand that there can be extenuating circumstances. That would be my only negative and it is a minor one. Overall it is a very pleasant process coming to Dr. Cook's office.

Fat Transfer

The expectation was achieved. The level of information provided by the coordinator was not satisfactory. The follow up requirement was not clearly mentioned at the time of scheduling for the procedure and the conflict of follow up scheduling was stressful.

Eyelid Surgery

I was very satisfied

Breast Augmentation

Dr Cook's staff is personable and professional. Dr. Cook is a very skilled and talented plastic surgeon.

Tummy Tuck

The way you look and feel after the healing process is complete. . Justin is absolutely amazing, he explained everything that would take place and all the information needed and how the day would proceed. Dr. Cook did an amazing procedure and followed up with holistic ideas instead of countinous medication.

Eyelid Surgery

Dr. Cook is so easy to talk to. I never felt intimidated or rushed. He has great bedside manner. The staff were ALL approachable, and gave me the time I needed to ask questions and were very knowledgeable.

Fat Transfer

Feeling better about myself. . Dr. Cook is extremely technical, patient, caring, and has a high regard for his patience's emotions, fears, and always takes the time to make them feel extremely comfortable. I have had 7 surgeries done by doctor Cook since I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer 18 yrs. ago and he has never disappointed me. He saved me from utilizing both my litmus muscles in my back being used for reconstruction, when all other Best" doctors said it could not be done. His staff lives up to his standards and it is obvious. I personally can say I would never choose anyone but Dr. Cook. He is the Best in his field in Chicago. "

BOTOX® Cosmetic

The commitment and skills of the entire staff, including Dr. Cook. He provides a most comfortable and professional experience. He is a great listener. It takes time for the Fractora to do its work in building collagen so I am not able to see the result for several months. Also, I need more Botox injections to get the effect of raised eyebrows that I desire. Plus I still have a lot of crepiness under my eyes, which will involve additional procedures.

Tummy Tuck

Kind and Concise care. Professional environment. I'm still healing but the results make me feel better about the previous surgery that caused the problem.

Fat Transfer

I was not expecting a scar infant of my hairline above my ears and as I like to wear my hair back this came as a shock.

BOTOX® Cosmetic

I had no major issues.

Liposuction

I feel like I look so beautiful now- more like myself than I did before. My body is in much better balance now than it was before. I am ecstatic! I was extremely satisfied with my overall experience at Dr. Cook's office. I had slim liposuction of the abdomen and flanks, and the procedure itself was much easier and more comfortable than I expected. The best part, however, is my amazing result. I am so happy with how I look now. During the procedure, the staff was so caring and reassuring- I felt so at ease. I would recommend Dr. Cook to anyone considering cosmetic surgery.

BOTOX® Cosmetic

The filler to smooth out my tear troughs made a nice difference in alleviating my tired appearance. Dr. Cook is highly skilled and provides caring, appropriate advice. He explains what the procedure involves, possible side effects and reminders about proper post-care. I believe he will not do any procedures not in my best interest.

Axillary Breast Tissue Removal

BOTOX® Cosmetic

Confidence - the best accessory!! Dr. Cook reviewed my file and examined my face to produce the best possible result with the least amount of discomfort. My sister was with me during the appointment and noticed immediate improvement. I wouldn't trust my face to anyone else! He responds to your concerns but never makes you feel you are being "sold". Kudos to him for choosing a top notch staff, from Justin who always goes out of his way to accommodate my schedule and truly makes everyone at ease to Andrea whose attention to detail and COMFORT are unparalleled.

BOTOX® Cosmetic

It's beautiful and no one knows I had a face lift! Dr Cook performed a face lift that came out beautiful. The continued maintenance care has become a nice Dr/patient experience, he knows what I expect in addition to his high level and a keen eye

Juvéderm® XC

I did not have bumps or uneven results with Juvederm. Dr. Cook treated me several times and knows exactly what I want to have accomplished. On a different matter, previously, when contacting The Whole Beauty Institute online, there was an option to tick how one would like to be addressed. I strongly believe in going back to gracious times when people were "Mrs." plus last name, "Miss" plus last name and "Mr." plus last name. First names should be reserved for family and friends, unless the individual allows the use of his/her first name.

Voluma

The natural effect that was achieved. The high level of Dr. Cook's aesthetic judgement and medical expertise always guarantees a great result for me. I have complete confidence in him and his friendly, knowledgeable staff. My visits there are always fun as well.

Restylane®

It takes 10 years off of my face and takes away that tried look or dark circles under eyes. Yes, I've had Dr. Cook do my injections before and he seems to know exactly where to inject to achieve the perfect results!

BOTOX® Cosmetic

Doctor Cook's skill and sensitivity. Dr. Cook is wonderful. He understands the patient's needs, and is a real artist in crafting the procedure to meet those needs. He is also a lovely person.

BOTOX® Cosmetic

Dr Cook is attentive, knowledgeable, and precise. That is what I'm looking for when I'm having any type of facial injection.

Laser Liposuction

Nothing with the staff, it's just that the laser lipo of the stomach did not turn out as smooth as I had hoped. The contour is a little bumpy. The back area looks great.

Laser Liposuction

The laser lipo I had was a necessary step in my overall weightloss goals. The procedure allowed me to target some stubborn areas and gain confidence for wearing clothes I avoided wearing! The staff are highly professional and friendly.The surgeon is skilled and very knowledgeable. I was well prepared for the procedure and the follow up was more than adequate.

Laser Liposuction

Incision site is still healing so it might take more time to be highly satisfied with the result

Breast Augmentation

The end result of my procedure exceeded my expectations. When receiving my 3D simulation in my initial consultation, I had a pretty good idea of what the end result would look like. Thanks to Dr. Cook's expertise and attention to detail, they delivered on what I expected! I can't say enough about Dr. Cook and his staff. Everything about my experience exceeded my expectations, from my initial email contact to schedule an appointment for a consultation, to my post-op follow-up appointments. Dr. Cook is extremely professional yet caring, and takes great pride in his work and his patients' satisfaction. The staff was wonderful - everyone I interacted with was genuinely pleasant and engaged, and I felt comfortable the moment I stepped into the office. As for the actual surgery itself, I was very well informed about what to expect following my procedure. This put my mind at ease going into surgery. My recovery was much smoother and less painful than I expected, which was an added plus! The results were even better than I expected, and very close to the 3D simulation that I received in my pre-op consultation. I would highly recommend Dr. Cook for any surgical procedure, and would definitely consider going to him again should I choose to undergo further surgery.

Face Lift

I am very happy with the results of my surgery, and feel better about my appearance.I enjoy going to the Cook office for post op visits because of the good care that I get from Lauren, John Cook and others in the office.My recent experience with Andrea was excellent, as well. She was attentive, well informed and offered to accept my calls if I had questions. Dr. Cook is the best in terms of actual surgical skill and patient relationship.I would never go anywhere else for surgical or aesthetic treatments and recommend Dr. Cook, along with his in-office staff frequently.Andrea is great, as well.

Laser Liposuction

All staff were friendly and engaged. They were always readily available to answer any questions. The Dr was equally so. He was honest, listened and most importantly committed to ensuring that I was 100% satisfied with all of the procedures performed.

Fat Transfer

I was HIGHLY Satisfied with all the services and staff. Experience with Dr. Cook and his staff is always excellent. Just always wishing for a miracle, permanent" cure for aging!"

Breast Augmentation

Dr. Cook and his team were friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely concerned for my well being as well as my desires from the very first meeting. I met with them several times before surgery, as well as was readily available to talk on the phone to answer any questions several times prior to surgery. The surgery itself was quick, comfortable, and I was able to go home that day with mild pain. I have visited the office several times for routine post-op check ups, each time Dr. Cook and his nurse, Lauren, took time to answer all my questions and ensure I was comfortable and happy with results. I would definitely recommend Dr. Cook to anyone.

Tummy Tuck

I had a great experience from start to finish!

Breast Reduction

Where do I start? I LOVE, LOVE and LOVE Dr. Cook and his staff. It all started back around 2008 with a $99 special for laser hair removal on a couple of areas to choose from which lead into a consultation which then lead to a few surgical procedures over the years. I've referred a couple of people who in turn had work done as well and were thrilled. Thank you Dr. Cook, Justin, Lauren, Kim and Susie.

Tummy Tuck

I think I was well informed about the procedure and Dr. Cook and His staff were always helpful and available. Post-op was the only thing I was not happy about. The nurse that they assigned me left 2 hours early because she had to go to another job. I paid for her services and the room, and I thought I should have had her the full time I paid for.

Rhinoplasty

The staff as well as the surgeon were completely professional in every aspect. Questions we had prior to the procedure as well as after were answered in a very timely manner. Appointments always run on time and we were able to be seen even on short notice

great Dr. Great staff

Face Lift

all of the above, Dr. Cook has a light hand, he does not over do it". I look refreshed Not stretched!"

Face Lift

I like Dr. Cook and everyone on his team, but I am not happy with the results. I look better, but not better enough for the time and money. If some of the swelling doesn't resolve, I am going to be really unhappy.

Neck Lift

I couldn't be happier with my neck lift. Dr. Cook and his surgical staff were competent, confident and compassionate. My biggest concern was that I wanted to look natural. The whole staff assured me that the natural look is what Dr. Cook does best! They all were right! I look like myself, just refreshed. Everyone on staff is caring and knowledgeable. They treat me like family. I can't thank Dr. Cook and his brilliant staff enough.

Face Lift

The staff at Dr. Cook's office were extremely professional and approachable. I felt comfortable with them and contacting them at any time I had a question. Dr. Cook is a premiere plastic surgeon who has performed two surgical procedures on my face. I look natural and I feel beautiful and I could not be more grateful to Dr. Cook and his staff. Lauren deserves a special mention as she has treated me for suture removals etc. and is always available for me. I am extremely pleased with the results.

Breast Reduction

I have had a number of follow up visits: the staff was attentive and responsive, appointments were convenient and easy to schedule, I never felt rushed.I appreciate the time everyone took and the care I received.

Breast Augmentation

Dr Cook was not only informative and comforting, but he delivered the EXACT results he promised. I felt 100% relaxed every step of the way. And his whole staff is incredible.

Breast Augmentation

Dr. Cook and his staff were more helpful than other doctors I had consulted regarding the specifics of the procedure (before, during and after surgery) and the most helpful to me with determining the SIZE for breast augmentation.

Laser Liposuction

Everything was thoroughly explained in terms of what to expect, before, during and after the procedure. The whole office staff is pleasant and helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Cook to anyone.

Neck Lift

This was one of the best things I have ever done in my life! I have always been attractive and have been blessed with good genes but in the last couple of years(i am now 64) every time I looked in the mirror my neck drove me crazy! Now I look in the mirror and see the person I once was. It is a wonderful feeling and I thank Dr. Cook and staff from the bottom of my heart! All I hear is not what have you done to yourself but you look wonderful", what more could you want. Go for it!!!"

Fat Transfer

I have trusted Dr. Cook over the years for several procedures. I value his skill and judgment. I am very fortunate to have benefitted from both his talents and those of his staff.

Eyelid Surgery

Excellent patient service and outcome/results of the procedure.

Neck Lift

It was all done very smooth, I never had a moment of doubt. Everything was anticipated before I needed to ask. I will totally go back.

Laser Liposuction

I am extremely satisfied with the care I received recently for laser liposuction on my arms and inner thighs. Dr. Cook did an amazing job contouring my arms and slimming my inner thighs and I couldn't be happier. Beginning with my first consultation with Dr. Cook and his staff (Justin, Susie, and Lauren have been amazing!), I have always felt very comfortable and completely cared for during my office visits and surgery. Dr. Cook was always very through during my consulations, surgery, and pre and post op visits and has always taken the time to make sure all my questions have been answered.

Face Lift

Dr. Cook was amazing surgeon. He is an artist as well as a scientist. He has a wonderful bedside manner and I trusted him which is saying a lot for me.

Laser Liposuction

The results were not satisfactory, and much of my time wasted trying to correct the surgery

Fat Transfer

Dr Cook is so professional, so skilled and has a lovely demeanor. Lauren and Suzie made me feel comfortable and attended to my needs and questions promptly and thoroughly. The entire experience was so much calmer, easier and better than I had anticipated.

Face Lift

I consulted with six surgeons, before chosing Dr. John Q. Cook based on his portfolio, location, and bedside manner. His staff was wonderful, and the whole process was seamless from surgery to after care. I had a full facelift, neck lift, fat grafting, and my lower lids done. The procedure was done at an off site surgery center downtown. I received wonderful after care beginning with the private nurse for overnight stay at the Four Seasons (same building as the surgery center), and all the follow up visits in Winnetka (more convenient than downtown) with surgeon and attentive staff. I wanted a meaningful change without looking like I had been done." The result? I still look like me—only better. I have my cheekbones back, and my jawline is clean and defined without looking stretched. I have not felt this comfortable going without makeup since high school, and I am in my late 50s! I still have some swelling in my lower jawline, but it is not noticeable to anyone but me, and I expect to feel completely normal in a month or so. All in all, it was a wonderful experience, and I would recommend Dr. John Q. Cook to anyone looking to turn back the clock 15 or 20 years. I am so pleased."

Fat Transfer

This was my first fat transfer and it was not successful. I felt that the surgeon over committed and over sold the results. I am a very thin and petite person. I have a very low percentage of body fat on me. It was never mentioned to me that people with high metabolisms have a higher risk of the fat transfer not working as the fat is quickly absorbed into their bodies. Once the swelling went down, you could barely tell I had anything done. I was very disappointed for the money that I spent on the procedure. I feel I could have gotten the same results with filler. Dr. Cook did rectify the situation with filler in both of my post op procedures to give me a higher level of satisfaction without charging me, but it is not as natural looking as the fat transfer would have been and will not last as long. Overall, I would not do another fat transfer knowing what I do now.

Neck Lift

The outcome was a good as expected.

Tummy Tuck

Dr. Cook is the best surgeon I have ever met. Dr. Cook and his staff go over and beyond. I would highly recommend them to anyone!!!

Neck Lift

Dr. Cook is a very good listener and he's a perfectionist. I trust him. He is always patient and kind in answering questions and putting people at ease. The surgery was more than I expected but I believe I have a good outcome

Laser Liposuction

I feel like The whole staff was genuine and helpful not only when I decided to have my procedure but before and after. I am genuinely pleased with my results and wish I would have done his years ago. Dr. Cook is such a kind man and seems as happy with my outcome as I am. The office staff is always so friendly. I never feel like there is any pressure to have extra things done or to buy products. The day of my surgery was handled beautifully. I had a car service take me to the office and my driver was running late. It caused me a little presurgery stress and they calmed me down and allowed me to go into the procedure in a good mental place. I didn't feel rushed at all and I think that was so important. Overall, I could not be more impressed with my results and the care I received.

Breast Reduction

Dr. Cook and his staff are professional, warm, sweet and gentle!I was totally comfortable and new I was in good Hands!I had a Breast reduction and a mini tummy tuck and have never felt better!

Laser Liposuction

Expected different results, shorter wait for final look. Likely my own over expectation and lack of patience.

Face Lift

Plastic surgery is an art as well as a science - Dr Cook strives for a natural effect so you still look like yourself, only better - & no one can really tell that you've been worked on. Dr Cook is thorough & deliberate during the consultation phase - he's an artist & perfectionist when he operates. This is the 3rd time he's operated on me & I've been delighted with the results every time. The post op care is first-rate with everything arranged & coordinated so that you don't have to worry about anything!

Friendly staff, clean and pleasant looking office. The best surgeon in the nation.

Dr. Cook is extremely good at what he does. He also is cautious, which is great. And if anyone is not pleased with the end result, Dr Cook will do what he can to make it right. He is a total professional and I would use him again for cosmetic surgery if needed.

Breast Augmentation

The staff was very attentive to providing me with pre-operative information and post-operative information about what to expect. They promptly returned my calls and were easily accessible. If there were any delays they were thoroughly apologetic. Everyone was very professional and pleasant to work with. I felt cared for and safe with my surgeons, anesthesiologist, and all the ancillary medical staff. I was extremely pleased with my outcomes and wish I had done this sooner!!!

Neck Lift

I look much younger, which was my sole purpose of the surgery. What was explained to me was what took place, highly unusual in today's world.The pain was tolerable. If I were to have one compliant, it would be my disappoint-ment with how quickly the fat transfer disappeared. I assume that this could not be known in advance by the Doctor. Wonderful group to work with and always attentive.

Laser Liposuction

Doctor and staff was great, I still don't know if the procedure was that good for me.

Face Lift

My results seem terrific - am hoping they hold up. Liked Dr.Cook's low key manner. Office seemed organized except for lack of a return call from Denise twice. Second time she returned a Friday request to my cell on Monday, but by that time I had taken the plane and hoped for the best (had chewed down on meat and got earache night before and was worried).I wish I had been told about chewing limitations. I needed to bring soft foot to hospital-I needed to have that food at the ready at home. Wish I was told earlier of limitations on turning my head-I needed to turn my shoulders while driving.

Laser Liposuction

Dr. Cook is amazing, and met and exceeded all expectations. Justin is an amazing too, and was very helping pre and post opt. I would go nowhere else. Period.

Great surgeon! Very informative and friendly staff. Dr. Cook took very detailed notes on my first visit and made all of my concerns a priority. He was accessible to answer all of my questions by phone or in person. Dr. Cook has the ability to calm my nerves almost immediately and made me feel like I was in great hands. The outcome is exactly what I wanted and looks even more natural than I had hoped for. I've already referred one of my friends and is going in for a consult for the same procedure today!

All the participants in the pre and post surgery were wonderfully helpful and positive

Fat Transfer

I simply trust Dr Cook and his entire staff. I can't imagine what is more important than that when having any medical procedure done. I have had a couple of procedures with Dr Cook and he is great. His facilities are excellent.

Breast Augmentation

Dr Cook and his team were great! They were always available to answer my questions and seemed very calm anytime I was nervous. The day of the surgery the nurse made me very anxious because she kept missing my veins when attempting to give me an IV. She asked the anesthesiologist to do it instead. I'm not sure why I was less than highly satisfied with him. I would guess it was because the nurse had me on edge and he came into the room too perky. I don't know, he was nice and was trying but I just wasn't in a mood to hear him. Once Dr Cook came in though I was immediately more comfortable and calm.

Eyelid Surgery

The entire staff concern for your health and well-being as a patient. I like that attention detail very much...

Breast Augmentation

Everything went smoothly. I felt like I was with friends. They were easy to talk to. My breasts look great!

Face Lift

Dr. Cook was patronizing and did not listen very well. I had second thoughts from the first time I met him. I thought it must be me, since I did know his father well, who did nothing but praise him. So I went back for a second time 2 years later, this time I went forward with a face lift, brow lift, lower Lid lift and neck lift. I had ask him to pay attention to my jaw line, he did not. The eye scares where to low, one side of my face was larger then the other, from the fat injections he thought I needed. At 3 months he did an adjustment to even out the face and get read of the pleating that was happening under my ears and the jawline w a local in his office. That did not work too well. A few month later he was gong to fix the excessive crows feet that happened after surgery( I did not have before surgery)By the way, after care, they had some nurse take me to the hotel they use, she was useless, she had a great time watching TV.The total cost was about $38.000.00. One year later, I went to [another doctor] to fix everything, he did a great job for an additional $21.000.00Expensive !!!! To get what I wanted

Fat Transfer

I've had this procedure several times, and each time staff has been very professional. Exceptionally Justin, he makes everyone comfortable and welcomed. Thank you!

Fat Transfer

Dr. Cook is the only plastic surgeon I would ever consider. Besides being an absolutely gifted surgeon whose work is superb, he is a kind and gentle man. Despite his surgical talents, he remains modest and approachable. This past surgery was my second experience with Dr. Cook. I would see no other plastic surgeon, would return again in the future, and would recommend him to my friends and colleagues.

Dr. Cook is highly skilled and talented in his profession. He did an excelled and subtle job in performing my face lift that made the result look very natural, taking 10-15 years off my appearance.I was highly satisfied because of the result and because of they way I was treated before, during, and after the surgery. Dr. Cook is meticulous in paying attention to every detail, keeping the patients safety in mind the whole time. I completely trusted his competence and abilities to operate on my face and to deal with any emergencies that might arise (which didn't happen). I did not feel the same way with other surgeons I interviewed.

The results were awesome. Felt very relaxed and confident in the surgeon and staff.

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.

Dr. Cook was very professional, and his expertise showed in my great results.

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.

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.

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.

Extremely professional office and fabulous result. Very happy.

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.

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.

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.
