I would certainly like to know if there are other surgeons besides Dr.
Cook in California. I say this because I would like to see an up to
date testimony by a patient of Dr. Cook or someone else in the area.
There is Cedar Sinai Medical Center, and some large teaching type
hospitals there. You hear and read everyting about adhesions, so how do
you know what is true and what is not. For example, Celebrex is
supposed to help reduce adhesions. But this drug is supposedly off the
market. Yet a study says taking high doses of Celebrex jut before
surgery and for a couple weeks afterwards helps reduce their chances of
coming back. So if this is the case, why not take Celebrex? I think as
responsible and concerned patients we need to ask these questions.
