"Dr. Cook is a really great guy. He has no qualms about making certain you understand the seriousness of the operation and what is expected after. I was privileged to have someone in the operating room that I knew, and she told me that he's the kind of surgeon that is there to do it right, and if your vitals change or something he will stop and wait as opposed to having the anethesiologist deal with it as he goes on. This may not seem like a big deal, but it demonstrates that he is committed to giving you his very best. Be prepared to see someone who's in medical school before he comes in at the office visit- OSU is a teaching facility and a medical school student will likely do your history. Also be prepared to see residents while you are there for your stay. One of the beautiful things about OSU is that they are very well equipped for this surgery and they see enough patients with it. I highly recommend him, even though he is pretty booked up, don't lose faith."
"The patient care was great. Every person that I met was very nice and quite accomodating. I had a room across from the nurses desk, I was amazed at how quiet it was when the door was shut. The bariatric suite was really nice. The hospital needs valet parking on the weekends."
