Well, I'll stick with 4 stars cause he's a good doctor. I do like him and he always works with me…read more But the wait times are ridiculous. You might go to an exam room on time, but then it's 30 minutes to an hour before he comes in. Takes my whole lunch hour and then late back to work. Thank god for words with friends.

I've seen my fair share of doctors in the last five years, and I can say without reservation that…read moreDr. Cooksey is in a league all his own. My mother recommended him to me and couldn't quit raving how wonderful he was, boasting that there are people who drive from other towns just to be treated by him. After I met him I could see why. He actually listens to what you have to say, and makes the interaction with him pleasant and welcoming. After so many doctors being curt, rude or just plain dismissive, this was a revelation to me. He's also thorough, but doesn't put you through a litany of expensive tests you may not need. I've been suffering with back trouble for years and he was the first one to tell me I have bone spurs on the spine - some doctors wouldn't even *talk* to me without my having an MRI first. He works with you to find solutions that best fit your circumstances, and restored my faith in doctors. Possibly my favorite (and most trusted) physician ever.

Dr. Cooksey is something else! I've been to many Doctors and I know a gem when I find one! He is a…read morereal human being that listens and generally cares about the people of Abilene that he cares for. He is switching to MDVIP which makes total sense knowing his level of expertise and care for his patients, and although not everyone can join with him, the ones that do will be getting even better service from an already outstanding Doctor. He is as close to that "Olde Country Doctor" as you're going to find! Would definitely recommend to all friends and family!

I'm old and fearful of hospitals, but the staff put me at ease, interjected a bit of humor into my morning and got the procedure done in a timely fashion.

I arrived at the north entrance at the same time a young couple with a baby and bags was dropped off. The north entrance was locked because no one was at the desk. This young couple, with baby and bags, had to walk all the way around the hospital to get to the main entrance. I felt terrible for them. When we got to the main entrance, there was no one there either! This wasn't a problem for me, but it sure was for them! Hendrick just recently took this hospital over, and I am SO NOT IMPRESSED! Staffing appears to be at a minimum. Please do better for your patients and visitors.
