"I was very impressed with Dr. Cook when I met with him for initial consult. My best friend and I will be going through this surgery together and Dr. Cook let us do our consult together with him. It was great! We asked a lot of questions and he answered everything very upfront and honestly. He was very professional,and was open concerning risks of surgery vs. risk of continuing to be morbidly obese! The only step Dr. Cook did not cover as a step of having surgery during the initial consult was the psy eval. I met Lisa (who handles the whole insurance side of things). She was supportive and seemed excited for us! I have called her several times and she is always pleasant. I recently talked with Missy, R.N. over the phone. I just love her! She seems to have a great sense of humor and was very expedient in getting a letter sent to my company regarding medical necessity of the surgery. Dr. Cook emphasizes the support group at Jackson Hosp. I went to my first support group meeting there in July before my consult and it was wonderful! It meets every 6 wks and I plan on going to these.
