Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Knowledgeable and kind
Dr. Cooley is an excellent doctor. He is kind and easy to talk to. He listens and spends all the quality time you need to solve your issue. With 40+ years of knowledge and experience, I think he can address any gastrointestinal problem.

Still seeing Dr Cooley after all these years
My wife and I have both seen Dr Cooley for roughly fourteen years. I’m on a three year watch cycle, and can’t picture going elsewhere. Dr Cooley (and his long-time office nurse, Tammy) have been attentive and responsive. We’re known, which counts for a lot. At procedure time, it’s apparent Dr Cooley knows the history. He’s reassuring and post-procedure does a great job of communicating what he saw and did. I don’t hesitate to recommend Dr Cooley.

Doctor that listens and genuinely cares about you
I have seen Dr. Cooley several times over 15+ years. Usually for routine stuff but recently for a more complicated matter. Dr. Cooley took time to answer all my question, discuss options and was even available for post appointment follow-up email questions. I have never been been disappointed or dissatisfied by the care Dr. Cooley provided me.

Recent colonoscopy
Dr Cooley performed my colonoscopy and I highly recommend him. He’s caring, professional and courteous and very knowledgeable. And he has a sense of humor. His staff is friendly and efficient and all of the nurses and healthcare professionals assisting in the procedure were great.

WAITING!
He was 2 hours late for my first procedure and I was the first in the morning. I tried to get a different doctor for my second procedure but none of the other doctors in his practice would accept a patient transfer of his. So on my second procedure a patient was squeezed in right in front of me causing my procedure to be delayed 1.5 hours. This is BS! I made my appointment 2 months in advance. If you are going to squeeze a patient in do it at the end of the day

Discussed issue that I was having and process we would use to find issues. Had episode next morning that required emergency room visit. After determining issue and hospital alerting Dr. Cooley of diagnosis he came looking for me at hospital provided expert advice and counsel to assure course of action was correct and assisted in getting test and scans completed ASAP. Next day (Saturday) he was there to view scoping procedure. Provided me his review of findings and exactly what was done. Counseled me as to the urgency of having gall bladder removed. Came to room on Sunday to assure me things were good and I would be on schedule for rapid removal. Followed up after procedure to see how I was doing. I ask this question how many doctors in dfw would provide this effort to assure his patient was taken care of properly? Answer NOT MANY!! Doctor Cooley was a great provider of information and a source that assured hospital personnel were on the A game as well. Great Doctor and caring man!!

Recent Colonoscopy by Dr. Brian Cooley
I recently had my, hopefully, last colonoscopy by Dr. Cooley. As always he makes me feel at ease, and very confident in his ability to perform a very difficult colonoscopy on me. I have always admired Dr. Cooley in his ability to make me feel good about what he is doing. I have always recommended Dr. Cooley to all of my friends, and they have always thanked me for the referral to such a kind and caring doctor.

Dr Cooley has done my colonoscopies for several years now. His office staff follows up to make sure I am on schedule as my mother died of colon cancer. . I know I am in good hands and have full confidence in him. I am so thankful he is my doctor.

Amazing doctor
I have been dealing with ulcerative colitis for over 14 years, Dr. Cooley was the only doctor that could help me to keep it under control. He is an mazing doctor, extremely patient and understanding, and never rushes through the appointments. I very much appreciate everything he has done for me, I am very grateful.

Upper Endoscopy
I recently had an upper endoscopy and although I wasn’t looking forward to it, the procedure went well. The staff, nurses, and Dr. Cooley did a wonderful job of making me feel at ease. Dr. Cooley explained the results to my husband and told me about what the results were. I had no after effects and would rate my experience an A +. Thanks.
