BLUF, I am a medically retired infantryman with 100% VA rating. Let me tell you the 800mg Motrin 5/per day is a gateway to what lies ahead in future treatments. This practice has everything you need. The staff is friendly and paperwork is simple too. Dr. Cook is realistic when it comes to treatment. I came here because I was sick of the VA prescribing me uppers and downers, then everything in between to counteract side effects of ALL the other pills; 18 total if you’re wondering. Did I mention they (VA) told me I had to plan for a kidney therapy due to all the pills THEY fed me? The VA isn’t the bad guy here though, they are simply working with what they’ve got. Many of the Doc’s within the VA will ‘off the record’ tell you that alternative medicine is the way to go. Lastly, keep in mind, I chose this direction because I don’t want to take Vicodin, Perc’s, Narco, Xanax, to name a few of the Rx‘s I have. To some it’s a dream, but I want to live for a long time and not kill my insides.

I had a choice with other doctors, this man really knows his stuff. I'm glad I've made that choice to pay him a visit. I would call first and listen throughout the prompts. You will not be disappointed. I recommend him to all the people who has no where to turn. at least he has answers.

Dr. Cook is a great man, dedicated to helping his patients live the best life they can live. He knows what he's talking about and has a way of explaining things to people in a way that they can understand which also helps you to feel confident in your mental health process. Everything with him is super easy as far as accepting my insurance, flexible hours, getting the 329 registration card (only took two weeks) bringing my 12 month old in for every appointment which is a struggle all in itself, but he makes it comfortable. So far, it seems like we are working very well together, coming up with a treatment plan and making things happen. His assistant is the sweetest girl you'll ever meet and they even send you email alerts two days prior to your visit, just to remind you. That's very helpful for me, I forget everything. I would recommend anyone to go see Dr. Cook over any other doctor, HANDS DOWN! I promise he can help you if your seeking these particular services.

I would highly recommend this place! The staff was amazing and the process was extremely smooth!

All I regret is not going sooner! The doctors and staff were so great and easy! Thank you

When I got deployed to Afghanistan in 2012, I knew that I wouldn't come home the same. I knew that I would probably see some things, maybe even do some things, that I would have to carry with me for the rest of my life. I also knew that there was a much higher than normal possibility that I wouldn't be coming home at all; if you asked me about it at this time last year, I would have told you that I wished I hadn't made it back. Up until early 2019, I had tried dozens of different treatments for my PTSD and Depression symptoms. I tried different medications and combinations of meds, different treatments using magnets and flashing lights in my eyes to stimulate my brain and facilitate healing, different therapy styles, in-patient programs, and electroconvulsive therapy. Most of these were ineffective for me, and some had side-effects that outweighed any benefit. By 2018, my health had deteriorated to the point where I was actively making plans to end my life and had already checked myself into the psychiatric ward at Tripler more than once. In March 2019, I checked myself into the emergency room at Tripler for the third time that year and knew that I had exhausted all the resources that the VA was willing to offer me. The treatment team at the Tripler in-patient psychiatric ward were able to connect me with Dr. Cook. After a thorough examination and discussion, we decided to move forward with using Ketamine to treat my Depression symptoms. My experience with past treatments had already set my expectations pretty low, but I was willing to try anything that wasn't demonstrably unsafe. My standard for success was that just by trying a new treatment option I might feel less helpless and find some hope for a future, and that those closest to me might see some improvement and let me know that good things were happening. After the first treatment, I immediately noticed that my suicidal thoughts were gone and I no longer felt like the universe was trying to crush me out of existence. Initially I thought that this might be temporary, as Dr. Cook explained to me that the medication would still be in my body even after the psychedelic effects wore off. Days went by while I tracked my thoughts and mood for signs of a relapse; nothing. Then after about a month, something amazing happened; I noticed that I had just stopped thinking about suicide all together. I moved on. In the last 10 months, I have made more progress on my treatment than in the previous 6 years since I returned home. Dr. Cook and his staff have played a pivotal role in my recovery, and even though parts of this review were extremely difficult for me to write down, let alone share with potentially 7 billion strangers, those difficulties seem small when measured against all I've gained with their help. Mahalo.

Super easy process. Great office staff, very kind and helpful. Have recommended him to lots of my friends.

The staff is wonderful, the facility is wonderful, the doctor is wonderful. It was such an easy experience. I’ve been dealing with pain management doctors for over a year and I’m always treated so badly. This was a welcome change to that! I’m so happy that I found them. Thank you so much!

Wonderful staff, easy to get an appointment. Made the process stress free. Location easy to find and easy parking. Will go back when it’s time to renew

dr. cook is a very welcoming person and makes you feel comfortable talking about your issues with him. he is a great listener and really seems to care about his patients. i defiantly would recommend seeing him if you are in need of a very caring and knowledgeable doctor!

Dr. Cook is the perfect alternative to using the VA doctors. Having worked at the VA, he knows the inner workings (and failings) of the VA system. Highly recommend him to all veterans.
