Dr. Charles Cook, MD

Dr. Cook took my mangled feet to sandal-worthy! I had developed horrid bunions worse than my grandmother. I’m still recovering from surgery, but it is clear that I’ll be back hiking and biking by next summer. Dr. Cook is a kind, patient and witty expert surgeon - surely one of the best in Texas!

I had a horrible experience with Dr Cook. His office told me that Orthotics would be covered 100 percent by insurance. Then they called me and said I owed them $800. They admitted it was their mistake but insisted I still owed them the money. There are many great podiatrists in Dallas. Go to them instead of Center For Foot And Ankle Restoration. Don't fall for a bait and switch experience like I did. I even tried to contact Dr. Cook via phone and email. He simply refused to call me back likely meaning he just does not care. There is a reasons everyone rates him so low online. He should not be practicing in the state of Texas in my opinion. Apart from all this, both times I have seen him I've had to wait more than 45 minutes in his waiting room after showing up on time.

This man should have his surgical license revoked. He ruined my ability to exercise, ruined my livelihood, left me in constant discomfort and pain; all with a smirk on his face and basically blaming me. He cares nothing about his patients. He is part megalomaniac, part babbling buffoon. He does not listen to his patients because he could care less what they have to say. He performs surgical procedures on you that you are not aware of when you agree to the surgery. I went to him with a hammer toe on one foot and left with two bad feet. When asked about it after the surgery, he just babbles, "It needed to be straitened, too". Never mind your silly questions about your body, patient, who are you to question Dr. Butcher? Patients who have experienced issues with Dr. Butcher should come together and sue him for the damage he has caused them. He is a pathetic surgeon, a pathetic physician, and a pathetic person. Do not trust your feet or your loved ones feet to Dr. Butcher.

Excellent top notch surgeon. Surgery was super smooth. Dr Cook is wonderful, clear explanations, very thorough. Staff is highly competent and friendly.

Dr. Cook is a very personable and knowledgeable surgeon specializing in restoring foot function. He is a MIRACLE worker and repaired my totally collapsed foot. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs foot surgery of any kind. If he cannot fix it, no one can!

Not happy with foot surgery results. He didn't complete all that needed to be done. At post-op visit, he said we could schedule another surgery to finish everything. Did pre-op appt and forgot to ask that I get MRI of foot prior to surgery. His nurse called me back and said I would have to schedule another office visit to discuss this. I cancelled surgery. Found another foot surgeon.

Had surgery on my foot 6 weeks ago and I feel great. Dr. Cook and his staff are so nice and helpful. I have recommended him to several of my family and friends. Wish I would have found him years ago.

He worked on me long ago and did a great job on me. Fixing to make my wife an appointment. I trust him 100%.

I refer patients all the time to Dr. Cook and he has treated my family and me for over 20 years. I have been very pleased with his medical care as have my patients. His goal is to treat patients conservatively before recommending surgery. To that degree, he employs an excellent pedorthist who is very helpful in using inserts and other corrective devices to heal common foot problems. He has my highest recommendation.

I am five weeks post-op with Dr. Cook, after bunionectomy/hammertoe correction. I put surgery off for years, too afraid, or no time for recovery. I met with various doctors, but things kept intervening.Then, my friend strongly recommended Dr Cook. I liked his get-right-to-it, but kind approach. Surgery went well, plus his wonderful staff, the nurses (Yvette, Michelle), the X-Ray techs, the front staff, & their willingness to help me by phone, or in unscheduled visits when I had concerns.

Slow, always having his assistant working on his behalf. His staff are nice but didn't get the care I need from him. Changed after 6 visits.

I tore a ligament in my foot tripping up stairs last April. I had surgery last June to repair the damage with a plate and several screws. Through out the entire process of identifying what the issue was and the subsequent surgery, I found Dr. Cooke and his entire staff to be very compassionate and knowledgeable. At each appointment, Dr. Cooke spent as much time with me as I needed and I thoroughly understood what the surgery was about, what to expect and how to feel afterwards.

Dr. Cook did surgery on my foot. The bunion came back only worse, big toe is partially numb, will not bend properly, pain when walking and overall I wish I had not had the surgery. Spent time with me before surgery and after the surgery he gave me about 5 minutes. On a scale of 1-10 it would be an easy 0.

I have had two surgeries by Dr. Cook and I recommended my daughter to him and she had surgery by him as well. I LOVE Dr. Cook.

Dr Cook diagnosed and treated my Morton's neuroma. I had been told I needed surgery but with orthotics and toe-taping I have done very well and not needed surgery.

I had reconstructive ankle surgery about ten years ago. Dr. Cook insulted the surgeon I went to in Dallas (who I have a good relationship with), barely spent 10 minutes with me, told me I'd eventually just have to have surgery again, recommended some useless inserts and the acted annoyed that my daughter was there (I'd asked ahead of time if I could bring her). His xray tech also seemed shocked when I asked for a lead vest bc I might be pregnant...she had to ask him if I could have a vest?

I had an ankle fusion by Dr. Cook and could not be happier or more grateful for the outcome. It is such a blessing to be out of pain and able to live my life again.

Two days prior to surgery got a call from the Physician-owned hospital RE: $3000 payment owed, despite blue chip BCBS plan. Not sure about these payments and these surgeon-owned facilities. Question the billing coding.

I went to Dr. Cook for a Bunionectomy. Big toe was rubbing on the 2nd toe & 4th toe had been broken & I asked him to straighten it. Without my permission he removed the knuckle in the 4th toe & it will never bend. At 7 mo?s he said big toe didn?t heal properly & he could fix it with more surgery. I have more pain than before surgery. Big toe will not bend & laps over 2nd toe more than before, 4th toe is crooked & leans over on little toe. He is rude, arrogant & never showed any respect.
