Dr. Gregory William Cooper, MD

I saw Dr. Cooper for help with a number of neurological problems resulting from a chronic, undiagnosed CSF leak. My MRI showed signs of serious problems, including hydrocephalus and several lesions. He never bothered to look at the scans himself and simply tried to prescribe gabapentin for me. My complaints included dizziness, bowel incontinence, unexplained hearing loss, excruciating head pain upon sitting or standing, pins & needles throughout the entire body, and more. He not only refused to help me, he was patronizing while simply trying to drug my symptoms away. I gave up on UVA as a result of my experience with him.

His receptionist is slow at giving Dr.Cooper messages and very rarely will call back, I also have to explain what I need to her about 3 times and when she finally understands she says she will call back and never does. I can never reach him on the phone and all my messages go unanswered.
