Cooks Children's Network Info

All the doctors in that office are great! We see Dr. Day and have for 7 years now. I've seen each of the other doctors and liked them all. As you can tell, there are a few strong opinions about Dr. Day and Dr. Torrie. The real scoop is that most (not all) of the time, Dr. Day's patient's don't care for Dr. Torrie and Dr. Torrie's patients don't care for Dr. Day (speaking more the Mom doesn't...the kids don't care). This is not a reflection on either doctor as far as ability to care for the patients. It is just that Dr. Day and Dr. Torrie have completely different bedside manners, so if you prefer one's, then the other is quite different. But they both put the patient first and care about the kids. Hope that helps! I would highly recommend their office and any doctor. Dr. Goff's personality is somewhere in the middle, so EVERYONE likes him! His wife is nice too.

My daughter has seen her since birth, she is almost 2 now. I really like Dr. Torrie. She is frank, quick, and kind to my child. She asks a lot of questions and gives me time to ask mine as well. All of the doctors in that practice are excellent. We really like Dr. Day as well; I always ask for him when Torrie is not there! What I really like about Cooks is that they have a separate waiting room for well visits, so your baby doesn't have to sit in a room full of sick kids. I also like that I never have to wait very long and I am always able to see a doctor right away if my child is suddenly ill. I wish all practices were so efficient!

Cook Children's is great. My daughter goes to both Dr. Goff's but she will see either Dr. Day or Dr. Torrie if the Goff's are unavailable. My experience with Dr. Torrie has not been a good one. She has mis diagnosed my daughter twice now. Once she said she had a sinus infection when she really had RSV (Dr. Day caught that one) and then she said she was having an asthma flare up when she had Bronchitis. But she was the Dr. that was at the hospital doing rounds when my daughter was first born. I like all of the doctors there and she is very pleasant but I personally will ask for Dr. Day if the Goff's are unavailable now. Good Luck!

I love this office. Dr. Torrie has been our Dr. since we moved to TX 3 years ago. When we moved here I was pregnant with number 3 and I now have 4. I would not take them anywhere else. I love her. If you would like more detailed info just send me a note. My children have also seen Dr, Goff, Goff and Day. When we are sick we just take what is first available and I don't care who they see in the office. She has picked up other things that other Docors had miss diagnosed (no one in that office). I have yet to have bad experience with anyone in that office. I have heard mixed opinions about Dr. Day and all I can say is that I love him and those who don't must be nuts :).

I've been going to Dr. Torrie with both of my sons since their births and she has been great. During office visits she always takes the time to answer all of my questions and shows such genuine care and concern for my kids. A few times after various visits for various ailments she has actually called at the house later that night to check and see how everything is going and see if we have any more questions! That just seems unheard of these days! She has an excellent bedside manner and has done a very good job at diagnosing different things with my kids (she picked up a heart murmur in my youngest son last visit that the other Dr.'s missed). Hope that helps!

We have seen Dr. Torrey a few times when my kids regular pedi, Dr. David Goff, is out of the office and she has been very good with my kids. I have, actually, seen each doctor in the practice over the years and all of them are well above average, in my opinion. I feel very blessed to have found caring and knowledgable doctors for my children. The nurses and rest of the staff has always been extremely helpful to us, too.

My daughter goes there but she is a patient of Dr. Jeffrey Day which I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!

She has send Dr. T on a few occasions and I'll be honest, I really don't think she has the bedside manner that one needs for children. I don't think she is real personable or kid friendly. We have also seen Dr. David Goff on several occasions when Dr. Day isn't available and I like him just as much as Dr. Day.

Dr. Goff's wife is also there but we have never had any experience with her. I don't think she is there but maybe 1-2x days a week.

Olga,

I have not heard anything bad about her. I have a friend who uses her, and they love her. My pediatrician is a Cook Children's North in Denton, and he was speaking very highly of Dr. Torrie just earlier this week. I hope this helps!

God's Grace to you,

Lisa :)
