Dr Cooper is unusally skilled in technique and knowledge of treatment methods. He stopped the bleeding behind my right retina after having explained the several methods of doing so, then extensively discussing the one I chose. Subsequently I learned how rare Dr Cooper's expertise. His attentive follow up has given me great peace of mind. Too, his answers to my questions are so thorough that last time I interrupted him for too much information! Appointments with him are a total pleasure, his calm, polite and personable manner. Doesn't take much exposure to him to realize why his staff adore him!

As a professor who depends on my eyesight for hours upon hours of reading, research, and grading, the urgency of getting treatment was matched only by my anxiety to get answers. Dr. Cooper has been fantastic. He has gone out of his way to treat me and responded with all due promptness. I am truly appreciative of his expertise and caring demeanor.

Dr. Cooper was honest and not afraid to send you to another specialist if the condition warrants. Very personable and easy to talk to.

Dr. Cooper has no compassion for his patients. Makes you feel horrible when asking questions reguarding procedures.
