An International Treatment Center
As one of the world's top specialists in the surgical treatment of endometriosis
and pelvic pain, Dr. Cook is in international demand. His surgical patients have traveled from throughout the US and Canada, as well as 12 countries worldwide.




The medical definition of endometriosis does not even begin to describe the reality of what it means to have endometriosis and how it truly impacts a woman's life, her family, her career, her sex life, and her ability to live her life in very basic ways.
Dr. Cook appeared on Fox 11 News in Los Angeles and Fox 5 News in Atlanta. The segment was entitled “Killer Cramps” and profiled a woman who struggled for 10 years to find the cause of her debilitating pelvic pain before being correctly diagnosed and successfully treated by Dr. Cook.
