Summary

  • Dr. Ian Cook is a psychiatrist in Los Angeles, CA and has been affiliated with multiple hospitals in the area since 1990, including Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center and Stewart and Lynda Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital at UCLA, where he had been Chief of Staff. He received his medical degree from Yale University School of Medicine and completed his psychiatry residency and research fellowship at UCLA's Neuropsychiatric Institute & Hospital. He is experienced in the management of mood, anxiety, and cognitive disorders, with particular expertise in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and the use of ketamine. He held the Miller Family Chair in Depression Research at UCLA before becoming Professor Emeritus in 2018.
    He founded the Los Angeles TMS Institute in 2018 to bring advanced procedural treatments out of the lab and into clinical availability in Southern California. TMS, and particularly accelerated TMS treatments, and treatment with ketamine, have been shown to be of particular benefit to patients with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD.
