Testimonials

Dr. Cook performed my melanoma scalp resection along with Dr. Webber. serving as the plastic surgeon. The cancer was staged at 3C. Both doctors were perfect examples of what someone who is going through this horrible event needs. Competent, caring, professional and very strong communication. I never felt during the pre/post-surgery that they had anything other than my health and other needs (I had LOTS of questions) at heart. During the office visits I was never rushed. The "meeting" was over when I had no more questions. I appreciated that. Since my cancer operation, I have used Dr. Cook for other necessary surgical procedures. I am so happy I came across both Dr. Cook and Dr. Webber! |
