Stephanie Cooke, ARNP

Stephanie Cooke, ARNP, working with surgeon Dr. David T. Watson was highly recommended to me by someone in the ortho business. I needed a total hip replacement and to do the procedure, I wanted to ensure I had a team that not only included a skilled surgeon, but an experienced assistant/medical staff whom I'd spend most time with as a patient. Stephanie is simply phenomenal! While the surgeon focused on the actual operation, Stephanie did so much else to answer my questions, explain all of the procedures pre-, peri-, and post-op, and put me at ease in general. She even explained in detail to me how she herself would close the surgical site up and what to expect afterward. Every visit, Stephanie listened carefully, took notes, answered questions, and responded to every request (work excusal notes, etc). Her reputation at Tampa General Hospital where the procedure was done is superb--and everything went so smoothly in what is a very concerning event! Thank You Stephanie!
