A board-certified family medicine physician, Dr. McCook joined PeaceHealth Medical Group after several years of practice with Providence Medical Group in Portland, Oregon. Born and raised in Florida, his interest in the Northwest was realized during several months of clinical rotations. Upon completing his family medicine training with the University of Nevada School of Medicine, he enthusiastically accepted the opportunity to practice in the Pacific Northwest and call it home. His philosophy to patient care is working collaboratively, treating care as a conversation including listening, educating, setting attainable goals, and providing close follow up. He strongly believes satisfaction for both patient and physician are obtained by agreeing on the definition of success for not only each visit, but for health. While a generalist by training, he has developed particular skills in asthma, diabetes, select small skin procedures, and LGBT medicine.
