Once inside the room, the RN is doing a great job of explaining what Glenda needs to do. She looks familiar. Turns out we went to school together. First time I've seen her since 1974. God, I'm old. Anyway, Glenda's all hooked up and ready to go. Other than Cardioligists that are hard to understand, this place has been a goldmine of help and information. Thanks!

HORRIBLE PERSON! Terrible doctor!! My handicapped mother fell and could not walk for months. We…read moreBEGGED him to order an MRI (you cannot get an MRI in Abilene unless a Dr. orders one) he LITERALLY WOULD NOT ORDER an MRI for my mother! He was her primary care physician for gosh sakes. She went to rehab for two weeks all the while he was prescribing medication for her, but NO MRI. When she left rehab, she went to her lung doctor and told her the story. Her lung doctor could not believe he hadn't ordered an MRI yet. She ordered it and received the results...her FEMUR WAS BROKEN!! It has now healed incorrectly and she needs surgery to fix it, however, she cannot have surgery because of her health. She was bed ridden for a year thanks to this idiot. Going forward, she was scheduled to see a new doctor for two weeks, the morning of her appointment she was told she cannot see this new doctor because Dr. GAO has black listed her. If you value your health and your LIFE, I would NEVER see Dr. GAO. WOULD'T GIVE HIM ANY STARS, BUT ZERO STARS IT IS NOT AN OPTION.

I accompanied my husband to see Dr. Pate for a follow-up appointment since his regular…read morepulmonologist was unavailable. From the moment he walked in, something was off -- he appeared either extremely tired or possibly under the influence. He barely opened his eyes while speaking to us. He asked my husband, who has a brain injury, if he had been using his inhaler twice daily. My husband replied that he thought it was only once daily. Dr. Pate's response was jaw-dropping: "You can't come in here bitching about breathing problems if you're not taking your medicine correctly." I was stunned that a physician would speak to a patient -- especially one with a brain injury -- in such a disrespectful, unprofessional, and downright cruel manner. This was not only inappropriate but also completely devoid of compassion or basic bedside manner. This level of disrespect and lack of professionalism is shocking. My husband left furious, and we will never see this doctor again.

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!

If you'd benefit by seeing a Cardio doctor who does their best for you, you couldn't do better than this brilliant and dedicated Abilene native!
