Within Atrium Health, we use survey results to better understand what is important to our patients and how we can improve healthcare experiences. The overall Patient Rating score comes from the questions on our Medallia Patient Experience Survey. Responses are measured on a scale, where 0 represents "very poor" and 10 represents "very good.” Those scores are shown as 1 to 5 stars on the provider’s profile.
Patient Comments
- September 17, 2023 Good
- September 10, 2023 She listens and addresses the problem well
- August 27, 2023 We have seen a lot of doctors over our 4 year health journey. Dr. Cooke is one of the kindest doctors we have seen yet. She genuinely listens to us, has connected us with other doctors to try new tests and she follows up with each of them. It is obvious that she cares about her patients. She is one of the best we have had the privilege to work with.
- August 7, 2023 Mary Cooke saw my sons and I couldn’t be more please with the attention and care shown. Thank you
- August 2, 2023 Wonderful experience! We felt seen, heard, valued, and understood. Highly recommend!
- July 29, 2023 PA-C Mary Cooke was really great. My grandaughter has a Dr.'s office phobia. She gets paranoid about needles, even if a needle has not been mentioned as part of her treatment. Dr Cooke was able to calm her fears, creating a comfortable environment for treatment.
- July 21, 2023 Caring and compassionate doctor
- June 26, 2023 She is always so attentive to our questions and needs. I never feel like my son is just a "patient." You can tell she genuinely cares about her patients and their wellbeing
- June 21, 2023 It was our first time in this office and the experience was exceptional,
- May 27, 2023 My daughter has been on a long and frustrating journey with persistent GI symptoms for months. We have been to other providers and have been left feeling frustrated. Mary Catherine spent so much time with us, she really listened and she validated my daughters feelings and gave her a voice. She took her opinion into consideration. We could not have have a better experience or received better care!
- May 16, 2023 Amazing with my child and family. Great pediatric specialist!
- May 2, 2023 She was very Concerned about Evan. Very personable. Offered more ways for us to help him with his Gastro problem. She was very nice to us also.
- April 22, 2023 Dr. Cooke has always had a careful listening ear and never talked "down" to my son or I about his physical needs or challenges. She always provides tips and techniques that he can use to help alleviate his challenges. She is kind, caring and compassionate!
- April 22, 2023 Mary Cooke explained everything to me and she cared about my concerns and also told me if anything changes that I could reach out to her. She’s a very caring person.
- April 14, 2023 Mary Cooke PA-C was the best she listened and understood which is important as a new patient. She was patient with me didn’t overpower me when I had concerns.
- December 13, 2022 Very caring, loving and friendly and knowledgeable on what is going on with my daughter, because we went to several other doctors before coming here and they didn??t know what was going on. Now we finally have answers. Thank you
- November 19, 2022 Mary Cooke is always really patient she takes the time to listen to my daughter. I really appreciate that.
- November 11, 2022 She was very nice and caring. Evan is usually shy while talking to Dr's and Nurses. She put him at ease and he answered all her questions. Very professional and knowledgeable.
- November 9, 2022 She is so patient and absolutely great with my son. She has been very helpful in guiding us through and doing appropriate testing to try to determine what belly issues my son is having. I would recommend her to anyone and have actually to many people. Her level of care as a provider has made me change health systems almost completely. I believe that Atrium Health has the best pediatric care in our area. They by far surpass the Cone Health System.
- November 4, 2022 Very thorough and we left with a solution and plan.
- October 28, 2022 She actually took the time to listen to me, and after 3 years and 2 other hospitals, this was a first. She will never know how much that alone meant to me.
- October 8, 2022 She??s great. Easy to communicate with and listened to our concerns
- September 29, 2022 La doctora es muy amable siempre dispuesta a ayudar con sus conocimientos.
