For ortho & hip issues, I'm confident he knows his stuff. Thx.

Dr. Cook was incredibly kind to [...]. He went out of his way to address my son's concern about growth and gave not just medical, but life advice. Though this entire three year process, I have always felt that Dr. Cook cared about my son's future and the practical realities of the diagnosis. He spoke directly to my teen in a direct and practical way. I always left the office feeling "in control" of the diagnosis. I am so thankful for Dr. Cook.

Dr.Cook always talks to my husband and I about our girls with hip dysplasia in the most understanding way. We greatly appreciate his bed side manner. He is truly wonderful

We switched from UB Ortho to see Dr. Cook and couldn't be happier. The level of care provided here far exceeds what we have experienced in the past.

Our child is a neurologically medically complex and very orthopedically involved child. Dr. Cook took time to explain and draw pictures of potential surgical procedures etc. He also handled the dynamics of uncomfortable stressed divorced parents in same office very well and that was compassionate and thoughtful.
