Vital Health Institute

dr cook and his staff are wholeheartedly dedicated in treating women with gyn issues. they put their time, their hearts, and their brains on the line to help you as a whole person. i have been a patient of dr cook’s for over five years and have had many surgeries with all kinds of specialists from Stanford to UCSF, but none have come close to the treatment and care i have received here at VHI. G-​d bless dr cook, his family, his staff, and his cause.
if you have severe chronic pelvic pain, call dr cook. it is a bit pricey for the average person, but quit putting your body and life in the «cheap» category. you probably spend more on maintenance a year on your car than you do treating your health /​body. start here.

Please be aware that the charges for a first 15-​minute appointment are $ 500. this gets you 15 minutes with the doctor who has a difficult time looking you in the eye and if you’re not there for surgery, he will refer you to the nutritionist. no longer are exams done so if you opt out of the ultrasound, you do not get an exam. Plus pre-​appointment waiting time runs about 30 – 60 minutes. not sure what the back office staff has to do to prepare but they insist you get there one hour before your appointment.
i would not recommend this doctor/​institute for women who have dealt with endometriosis in the past and are wanting basic gynecological care.

Dr. Andrew Cook provides the BEST care and treatment for endometriosis, abdominal and pelvic pain. He really listens to his patients.
Dr. Cook worked with me. I got my life back thanks to him and his fantastic staff. Women travel from all over the world to Vital Care Institute for a reason. They also have a great web site :-)

my previous review was filtered. no idea why, but Dr cook is awesome, though they charge a high price for what they do really really well. it is totally worth it
