Answered every question with great knowledge and in a relatable manner. Walked through every step of the process letting me badger him with questions. Made sure that I was in control of my health (as much as insurance allows) and made sure that I was confident and comfortable in the visit

I visited with Dr Cooper. He is personable, instills confidence. I did not feel rushed, he answered my questions. I was very pleased with his care, both in and out of the hospital.

Dr Cooper removed 3 painful lypomas from my arms. I am very happy with the outcome. Little to no waiting after arriving for appointments. All aspects of the surgery was very well comunicated to me before hand. His assistant, Meghann was also very helpful when I had any questions. I would highly recommend Dr Cooper
