— USF Health Provider Review"As a two year patient I can testify to USF Health's poor care for patients. Multiple canceled appointments by my cardiologist. Impossible to get an appointment even if you have urgent medical needs. Absolutely horrible patient care."
— Patient review on Birdeye"This was a terrible experience. Dr Cook was very dismissive and borderline irritated that I even had an appointment. I would never recommend someone see him."
