Provider Bio
Jonathan C. Cook, MD is an obstetrician/gynecologist with Women's Healthcare Associates in Portland, Oregon. Dr. Cook's primary hospital location is Legacy Good Samaritan Medical Center in Northwest Portland.
From the Provider
"One of the things I love most about obstetrics and gynecology is the diversity of situations and challenges I am able to help people through. I want each person to feel safe in my care and know that their concerns are heard—and I am taking those concerns as seriously as they are."
About the Provider
Dr. Cook’s path to becoming a physician began as an emergency medical technician after college. With a thirst for more knowledge, challenge and responsibility, he enrolled in medical school two years later and eventually chose OB/GYN for the variety it offered—being able to help people through medical challenges, manage their reproductive health and welcome new life.
Dr. Cook helps his patients with gynecologic issues, including polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS); heavy, irregular or painful menstrual bleeding; menopausal symptom management; and management of abnormal Pap test results. He is a skilled surgeon using hysteroscopic, laparoscopic, advanced robotic, vaginal and traditional (open) techniques. One of the things he looks most forward to is seeing people after they have worked together to address an impactful issue and are at the point where they don’t even think about it anymore. Dr. Cook also helps people address infertility and enjoys caring for both routine and more complicated pregnancies, as well as a special interested in the treatment of PCOS. He welcomes gender diverse patients, providing wellness care, gynecology, obstetrics and some types of gender affirming surgery, including completion hysterectomy with oophorectomy.
Dr. Cook was born in Santa Monica, California, but feels most at home in the dense forests of the Pacific Northwest, where he has resided since 1989. He is a married parent of three and takes every opportunity available to instill his love of nature in his children. He also loves live theater, cross country skiing, cooking, yoga, travel and political advocacy—and looks forward to returning to volunteerism, which he began in the Seattle area as part of the King County Health Reserve Corps serving the medical needs of unhoused people.

Dr. Cook is so knowledgeable. We haven’t been able to find anyone else with his expertise around pcos. We are so thankful for him!
The assistant (CMA or RN?not sure dont remember) in with me and Dr Cook was on POINT, she looked over everything and actually understood it, explained everything, posed questions regarding my previous mammograms, which I later reach out about since I was confused as to where/what and when I needed to get that done. I sent a MH msg after the appt and the RN that responded gave me all the info I needed, clear and concisely. Not only was Dr Cook great, almost too smart... but the support staff is crazy good. I work at NWGastro and do a lot of the on boarding stuff so honestly keep your eyes on those employees, pay them what they are WORTH not what you see on your data sheet for market value. Or I will try and recruit them. =) Thank you so much for your care.
This was my first experience with a doctor who genuinely listened to me and cared about my concerns and immediately took action to address them. I can’t stop bragging about how great my provider is.
Dr Cook and Jamie his assistant are wonderful
Thank you for a little topical pain relief. That made an incredible difference!
Dr. Cook is the best!
Dr.Cook and his MA were amazing. I work in the medical field and sometimes it’s hard to be a patient. This was my 3rd IUD, Your team knocked it out of the park! I felt comfortable, and heard. They were fast, courteous, and skilled. I’ll never go anywhere else for my GYN needs. Thank you so much!
I had exceptional care from both nurse Charlotte and Dr.Cook.
Dr. Jonathan Cook is brilliant! He explained my heath and ways to stay healthy extremely well. Doctor Cook especially explained in detail about the use of Hormone Therapy, vitamins etc. I have recommended Dr. Cook to friends and family. Stellar office visit and I feel confident in Dr. Cook if I would need serious medical care.
