My Approach to Care

The biggest focus of care to me is getting to know each patient. There are different aspects of everyone’s life that led them to where they are and will lead them to where they’re going in the future.

Working with patients on a day-to-day basis is why I chose to get into medicine. I enjoy helping patients improve their health. Being able to take care of somebody, see them improve and follow-up with them long term is definitely the reason why I chose to be an interventional cardiologist.

Everyone has been great keep up the good work.
November 11, 2024
Doctor Cookman is by far one of the best heart specialist I've ever worked with. He listens and explains his treatments better than anyone I have ever dealt with. That's important to me.
November 08, 2024
Excellent service.

Dr Cookman and his entire staff are absolutely fabulous! I have never felt hurried and things have always been explained to me in ways that I can understand. I would highly recommend this office to anyone looking for cardiology assistance. I have my own brother coming here for his care!
October 23, 2024
Felt very well cared for!
October 23, 2024
He comes across as cocky and rushes you through the conversation. He speaks very fast in an attempt to get through the session. He didn't take into account my entire medical history and missed a key diagnosis.
October 21, 2024
I felt great after my appointment. I was treated very well and everyone was authentically engaging.

Although my visit with the provider was only about 15 minutes, he discussed my situation in a way that was clear and understandable, indicated he would communicate the results of my test, and unless a problem surfaced he would see me in a year. I am completely satisfied with my exchange and overall visit.

April 16, 2024
Yes, we was really impressed with the provider. He did a good job. He went over all the things that my other doctor had sent, explained everything to me, and we were just really pleased with what he did. And we'd sure recommend him to anybody. I'm just sorry you don't come to North Glad. He said he goes to Broken Bow. That's close enough. We live in the Paxton. Thank you.
April 16, 2024
Dr Cookman(hopefully I spelled that correct) was very knowledgeable and thorough and explained everything so I could understand it! Thank you

It was all good. I was comfortable with all personal from start to finish. All were extremely knowledgeable.
April 10, 2024
Dr Cookman and his nurse are the best.
April 10, 2024
Nice hospital and friendly people. It's about what one should expect in Nebraska. The only thing I don't like about Lincoln is the traffic and I manage that. You have a nice cafeteria and comfortable chairs in lobby. When I come for an appointment I tend to stay a couple of days and visit friends and pick up a few things and avoid stress.
April 02, 2024
Dr. Cookman explained my situation. He then presented a plan with a medication change to correct my situation. I really like the way he treats the patient.
March 28, 2024
He was professional and very attentive, maintaining eye contact while clearly explaining my options for diagnostic testing. Not hurried but efficient.
March 27, 2024
He was the 1st Cardiologist/Dr who ever read my blood panel back to me. I appreciated that! Getting second opinions is okay thank goodness he was my second opinion! I will be here with Dr. Cook for a very long time! He took the time to listen and knew what was a priority to me and read that blood panel back to me instead of saying "your fine" your hearts excellent" or have a primary Dr give you false readings, that could cause stress on your heart! I'm glad I found him and his staff and look forward to a long relationship with "Bryan Heart" and Dr.Cook. I like to add even though he was my 2nd opinion he is number #1 cardiologist! I needed that second opinion forever grateful!
March 27, 2024
All great.
March 27, 2024
Dr. Cookman is a fabulous provider and I also enjoyed Patti who is a nurse. Dr Cookman is a great listener, answered my questions and took time in my appointment. He also treats my husband and when I needed a cardiologist I asked my PCP to refer me to him.
March 22, 2024
Dr. Cookman was very professional and caring. I would highly recommend him to my friends.
February 23, 2024
Overall good visit!
February 23, 2024
The more I get to know Dr. Cookman, the more I like him. As a new patient, It's very concerning to have heart conditions and have open heart surgery as a high probability in your future. Dr. Cookman takes the time to explain your medical condition and listens to all concerns. He answers all questions and makes a true effort to get to know you not only as a patient but as a person. I highly recommend him and his caring staff.
