Real Patient Ratings

Face Lift

Dr. Cook explained the procedure as well as answering any questions I had. I trust the doctor to give me natural results. I have had another procedure with Dr. Cook that I was very pleased with the long lasting results.

Breast Augmentation

The outcome was exactly what I hoped for, I enjoyed Dr. Cook’s approach to the procedure, appreciated his demeanor and found he and his staff to be very accommodating and helpful. I feel great and look natural!

Tummy Tuck, Breast Reduction

Dr. Cook and all of his nurses and staff were kind and didn’t make me feel embarrassed about my body. I was there because I don’t like my body, and having such a kind team of people looking at me and measuring me made me so comfortable.

Breast Lift

Everything was 100% perfect…from the office staff, to Dr. Cook, to the surgery center, and especially the results.

Face Lift, Neck Lift

Dr. Cook listens to his patients and makes surgical recommendations that delivers beyond the desired result. I loved that my procedure was done right in the office with minimal sedation. I was surprisingly relaxed and comfortable throughout the procedure.

Eyelid Surgery

Dr. Cook and his entire staff are amazing. He’s very honest and will only do what he thinks looks best while looking natural which is very important.
