Dr Kooser has my most confidence in the many doctors I've seen in the past year. He cares, he is understanding and always answers my questions or concerns with respect and tries to help me in everyway possible. He is not only an excellent doctor but a very good man.

100% great doctor, staff and receptionist. Only problem is appointment times are difficult to arrange, probably because doctor is so good, he has a LOT of patients. Worth the wait though.
