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.

Dr Cooper is outstanding. Personable. Listens to You and takes time to explain things in a way that makes it easy to understand

It didn't feel like he had my history given all my surgeries were done by this office. There was no discussion of options to consider. Just felt rushed given how long I had to wait to be seen.

Dr Cooper is the best orthopedic surgeon! He operated on my foot years ago and allowed me to walk again . This will be my makeover operation after nine years when he put my foot back together after another surgeon butchered it.
