Andrew COOK MD
Obstetrics & Gynecology - California Los Gatos

I currently am a patient with Dr. Cook, having been treated for endometriosis, I now struggle with auto immune illnesses and side effects. Dr. Cook has always been there for me when I needed him, and has told me a few times that he is not giving up anytime soon.
After seven surgeries and years of swimming through cold, uncaring usually MALE Ob Gyns, it has been a true blessing to work with Dr. Cook and his talented staff. They truly do care and are working with me to get to an end of feeling bad. I know they are concerned for my well being when I go in to see them.
I consider Dr Cook to be a friend as well as a physician. He is a brilliant combination of extreme knowledge, expertise, compassion, patience and calm. He has a wonderful sense of humor, and is cute to boot..what more could a patient ask for?
Seriously, Dr Cook is a true gift, and I feel like I finally got a break in finding him. It may take time for me to get away from my physical woes, but I am confident that I am in the best hands possible. I wish that all women suffering with endo could find a Dr. Cook. I recommend him to everyone I know suffering with this insidious disease.

I can't thank Dr. Andrew Cook enough for giving me back my life. I'm an Endometrioisis Survivior and have been endo pain free since my surgery with him in Feb 1999. He literally gave me back my life. He's the most compassionate and skilled surgeon I have ever had and after more than a dozen surgeries I ought to know. He is extremely well educated on the diseases that concern females with Endometriosis and Endometriosis related problems. He is a highly skilled surgeon and a very nice and caring person to boot. My story on my life with Endometriosis and my surgery with Dr. Cook is on my private webpage http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/Spa/8509/ if anyone would like to read more about it. I can't speak highly enough about this man and he truly cares about his patients and continues in search of the elusive cure for Endometriosis as well. Please visit my site for more details of my story.

I had surgery with Dr. Andrew Cook in late 2004. I came to him with multiple medical complaints and chronic pelvic pain that many other doctors could not diagnose or cared to investigate. Dr. Cook is the finest surgeon I have ever had (I've had surgery enough to know). He is everything you wish a doctor would be and his staff is equally as skilled. THEY BELIEVE YOU. I never once had to justify my pain. I was never told it was in my head. I was always treated with respect and care. Dr. Cook is actually interested in the complexity of your problem and wants to get to the bottom of it. I was finally correctly diagnosed. You won't get a doctor like this in managed-care. However, if you have wasted your life trying to get answers and relief from the managed-care system, I highly recommend you consider Dr. Cook. I am so much better than I ever thought was possible. I owe so much of it to Dr. Cook and his team.

After years of suffering with endometriosis and crippling pelvic pain I found Dr. Andrew Cook in 1999 through an acquaintance I met online.

My husband and I traveled across country for my extensive surgery for severe endometriosis and adenomyosis.

Dr. Cook is a compassionate, knowledgeable and caring physician who truly listens to his patients. He treats them with the utmost respect and dignity, considering himself a member of his patient's health care team. His sense of humor is a blessing during stressful times. He manages to make me feel optimistic and encouraged when I've been down and discouraged. I know that no matter what, he'll be there for me to help me figure out what's going on.

My life is greatly improved due to the skill and expertise of Dr. Cook. My husband and I will forever be greatful to him for what he did for us and continues to do for all women suffering with endo and pelvic pain.

Our greatest desire is that all women with endometriosis and pelvic pain could find a Dr. Cook in their hometown. Whether that ever comes true remains to be seen but, until then, I'd travel across country again and again to see Dr. Cook if it ever became necessary.

I recommend Dr. Cook with confidence.

Dr Andrew Cook and his team are dedicated to treating patients with endometriosis. I suffered for several years with this difficult condition, until I finally found Dr Cook. He has a special interest in treating pelvic pain, and he really knows how to listen to his patients. He helped me to work out a treatment plan that was right for me, then his team helped to coordinate travel to Los Gatos for assessment and surgery with Dr Cook. He used laparoscopy with advanced lasers to remove the endometriosis. He was very determined to alleviate as much of the pain as possible, and he has been very successful. He kept a close eye on my progress for 3 years after the procedure, and has always been very responsive when I have had a question. I recommend Dr Cook and his whole team at VitalCare Institute without reservation. If you go to him, you will receive world-class medical care from a real expert.
