Sheldon C. Cook

Kind person soul

I had a very small cyst removed the other day which triggered a special memory of Dr Cook. Dr Cook was my Pediatrician for many years. He removed my first of several cyst during my 4 grade year. He taught me about cysts and why I kept getting them. He is fondly remember and his wife, Marilyn, was wonderful. The McDonald Family have many great memories of house calls and office visits. Rest in Peace

Sheldon was a wonderful man who helped me get started with my pediatric career in the mid-1970's. He gave me the real world foundation to begin my own pediatric practice. I think about him with fondness. My heart goes out to all who were fortunate to have spent time with him.

Lovely man and what a life! He was our family pediatrician, for all five of us, when we lived in Lafayette and then moved to Danville. My parents esp my mom thought the world of him as we made many emergency trips for falls, scrapes and other mishaps!

When my dad, unexpectedly, became seriously ill and was hospitalized, Dr Cook ran interference for us in dealing with the doctors at John Muir Hosp. We will always be grateful.

I remember Dr Cook being very tall with a deep voice,...

I would like to say I still remember Dr Cook as my pediatrician he was a wonderful Dr he made going to the Dr as easy as possible. He gave shots that never hurt and made it easy to get when we were kids. He was our Dr for my siblings and my cousins as well. Its to bad that drs could not practice forever. He will be missed. Thank you Teresa C

Dr. Cook was a wonderful family friend and my pediatrician. I truly admired his zest for adventure, encouraging demeanor and sincerely appreciated his comforting care throughout my early years. He is sadly missed but will always be fondly remembered.
