-Highly Satisfied Patient in Surprise, AZ | Jul 06, 2017
Dr Cooper & staff are the VERY BEST! I went to Dr Cooper to have my Gallbladder w/gallstones removed, was referred by my PCP but also read many raving reviews first! Dr Cooper did such a wonderful job with my surgery that I didn't even need to take the narcotic pain medicine, I only took OTC pain relievers! He takes his time to listen to all concerns. He is very confident and yet not arrogant. He has excellent bedside manners! His staff are equally as kind. Everything was explained fully!

I saw Dr. Cooper, whom I have never meant before when I was in extreme pain in the hospital. He was very kind and helpful to let me know what the next steps were on my condition. He was able to get me in the next day to have my surgery. His bedside manner was very pleasant and just really appreciate the way he treated me.

Dr. Cooper took the time to sit down with me and explain the procedure and answer any questions that I had. The surgery (hernia) went well with no problems then or afterwards.

My experience with Dr.Cooper was very good. Office staff was very efficient everything went as they said it would.The operation went smoothly and the duration was as they estimated. Recovery uneventful. My recovery at home was very easy since I followed the instructions given to me.
I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Cooper to anyone.

Dr Cooper is very patient oriented as is his staff. He and his staff answer your questions and will find out answers they can't immediately answer. They make you feel at home and at ease. The only negative I found was that I had to wait for 4 1/2hrs in pre-surgery, but I can't say that had anything to do with the Dr. Clinic appointments were handled very promptly.

-Anna in Surprise, az | Apr 27, 2017
Dr cooper is an amazing Dr! I instantly felt so comfortable with him, and he has a great personality which makes it easy to talk to him. His staff is incredibly nice also. I believe the first person you see in an office should be a friendly smiling face, and that is how it is there. I had surgery done for an umbilical hernia, and my incision is so tiny you cannot even see it! Surgery was a breeze I was in and out in no time! I highly recommend dr cooper to anyone!

Had appendicitis and had to have my appendix removed. Dr. Cooper and his staff were amazing. They got the job done, told me exactly what to expect during my recovery, and when I went to see Dr. Cooper for my post op his visit, his office staff was nothing less than awesome. Very friendly office, professional, asked how I was feeling, and when I met with Dr Cooper, he took the time to explain what my surgery was like and took the time to answer my questions. Definitely recommend.

-JPK in Tempe, AZ | Sep 26, 2016
Dr Cooper was exceptional, as was the staff. He was easy to talk to, explained the whole process (robotic surgery, inguinal hernia) in terms I could understand, and together we reached the conclusion that surgery was in my best interest. Fast recovery with minimal discomfort. Banner Del Webb Hospital was also exceptional, communicating with me through every step of the process.

-Wanda Liepe in Surprise, AZ | Aug 26, 2016
Dr. Cooper fully explains in detail the surgery to be performed. In my case it was a gall bladder removal.
The surgery had unexpected difficulties which were handled professionally and the time frame for recovery was very accurate. I felt Dr. Cooper coped well with all aspects of the surgery.

-Brian in Phoenix, AZ | Aug 14, 2016
Dr. Cooper was awesome. Symptoms of an inguinal hernia about 18 months ago with 6 months of hopeful waiting. He performed a thorough exam. No obvious inguinal hernia was present but he did observe a umbilical hernia which I didn't know I had. He thought the inguinal hernia was a sports hernia and spent some time discussing options -- surgery, live with it, PT, testing, etc. No pressure. 12 months later, I decided to have the surgery. Great experience. Robot assisted laparoscopy and Del Webb.

He was assigned by Banner Hospital to do my emergency Appendectomy. Boy am I glad they did. Dr. Cooper came in and explained what was going to happen. Operation only took about 1/2 hour and I was able to go home that evening.

Very kind and takes his time, never felt rushed. He was happy to answer questions and offer options. Did a great job with my Gall Bladder Surgery, quickly. His office staff are super, friendly and helpful.
The only thing that I didn't like was his billing office - they kept saying I hadn't paid a bill, which I had. Took over a year to sort out!

-Terry Alcala in Chandler, AZ | Jul 13, 2016
First of all, the office staff was very helpful and courteous. They are very easy to get in contact with and will return your phone call asap. And of course, best of all, Dr. Cooper is so nice! He takes his time to answer all your questions thoroughly without rushing to get out. Didn't leave a doubt in our minds of the procedure and questions we had. Even though we live in Chandler, it was definitely worth driving all the way to his office in Surprise. We highly recommend him!

-Ken in Surprise, AZ | May 09, 2016
Had emergency hernia surgery. Was released about 4 hrs. after surgery. he used modern methods to repair hernia. At that time I was in therapy for a total knee replacement. Never had any pain during or after therapy including my required 30 minute walks. Dr Cooper worked with me to allow maximum use of my therapy during the time it took for the surgery to heal. Compared to a hernia I had taken care of a number of years ago this was a walk in the park.

-Daniel L. in Congress, AZ | May 05, 2016
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. This entire experience (from initial consultation/through the surgical procedure/including follow-up) was totally professional and showed an understanding of patient stress. Dr.'s Professional and Office Staff were thorough, polite and courteous, and everyone exhibited a wonderful bedside humor, which was relaxing in a difficult situation. Dr. gave me the impression all my questions were important and legitimate, and he answered all of them professionally.

-Dave Sherman in Buckeye AZ | Mar 31, 2016
Everything about the entire experience was positive. He's very personable and I felt comfortable with him from the minute that I met him. He's a nice guy, very easy to talk to, and explains things in terms that normal people can understand. The office staff was very friendly and helpful.

Dr. Cooper is an excellent surgeon and communicates beautifully. He explains both upcoming surgery and surgical results clearly and in a relaxed manner that inspires confidence. Surgery isn't supposed to be enjoyable, but Dr. Cooper and his staff have been so good that I am wondering what I might have removed next!

-Mike in Surprise, AZ | Feb 23, 2016
Dr. Cooper exudes confidence. From the minute I met him I was comfortable that I was in good hands. That proved to be the case. The problems I had were corrected, and my recovery was free of pain or discomfort. Within days I was back to my normal routine as though the surgery had never happened

Dr Cooper performed my appendectomy, he was great, and really put me at ease meeting with him before my surgery. We had a few questions at my follow up, and he took the time to explain everything to us completely.
