Caroline Cook

The Marigold Survivorship Medical Clinic is a telemedicine practice for women affected by breast cancer, and Caroline Cook founded it and runs it on her own. She was diagnosed with triple positive breast cancer at 37, went through chemotherapy and abrupt premature menopause, and says she built the clinic because she could not find the care she wanted anywhere else. Care covers menopause management including hormone therapy, sexual health, recurrence risk reduction and the long term health effects of breast cancer treatment. She still works as a board certified emergency physician, holds board certification in lifestyle medicine, and tells patients that medication is not a failure alongside lifestyle change. Everyone starts with a free fifteen minute call to see whether the fit is right, and the intake visit that follows runs up to ninety minutes after she has spent about a week reviewing oncology records. She cannot prescribe testosterone to patients in California or Washington because of DEA rules, and she will see women without breast cancer on a case by case basis.
