Dr. Claudia Cooke 
Member, Yevo Scientific Advisory Board

“Listen to the patient and you will hear the diagnosis.” – Sir William Osler
Claudia M. Cooke, MD, MPH, FACP, FAAMA, is a practitioner of Integrative Internal Medicine in New York City, whose time is mostly dedicated to the evaluation and care of her patients. In earlier years she worked as an ER physician, including many years spent in one of New York’s busiest ERs. She holds an appointment with NY Presbyterian’s Columbia division where she has served as a preceptor in Physical Diagnosis to the medical students for the past 16 years. Nutrition, environment, lifestyle, and psychosocial factors all weigh equally in her approach to clinical evaluation. Therapeutic interventions employed are similarly diversified, drawing from both standard and alternative modalities, including dietary revision and supplementation, acupuncture, and mind-body strategies. When not otherwise professionally engaged,  she enjoys long tree-lined walks, jazz piano, gathering with friends over good food, traveling to faraway places, and she never tires of rereading the poems of Eliot, Whitman and Donne.
