I recently moved to Ann Arbor and chose Dr. Cooke as my PCP based on Yelp reviews, but this time Yelp has let me down. I have a chronic condition that was being well-managed in my current treatment plan, which I developed with a sub-specialist in my previous city. I took the trouble of sending over my inch-thick medical record before my appointment with Dr. Cooke. It turned out that my appointment was with a resident, who hadn't bothered to read my previous chart. She happily re-prescribed everything I asked for and sent me on my way. When I attempted to fill the prescriptions, they were all rejected by my insurance. Thus began my 6 month battle with Dr. Cooke and the insurance company. All the insurance company requested was a letter from Dr. Cooke justifying the prescriptions. My extensive medical record had all the information necessary, but Dr. Cooke refused to look at it and prescribed different medications, which I'd already failed. He prescribed what he described as a generic form of one of my medications which I knew to be currently under patent. He insisted that it would be the same and wouldn't write the insurance letter until I tried and failed the "generic version". When I asked his nurse to explain how the generic version was equivalent when the drug was still under patent, she basically told me to quit being bothersome and trust my doctor. I went without my medications for 6 months and suffered intense pain because of his laziness and refusal to write a letter. Dr. Cooke, you are FIRED. read more
