Dr Cooper made me feel very comfortable from the first time I met him. I was anxious about my first ever surgery but he explained everything well and even came out to the anaesthetic room just before surgery to give me reassurance.
Dr Cooper explained everything clearly & easy to understand the procedure & what to expect
I appreciated the amount of time Shannon took in sharing information regarding the pathology findings of the biopsy to myself and my husband . His explanation was very thorough and easy to follow. I really appreciated the relaxed manner in which he explained what was to follow with surgery. My followup visit experience was equally as professional.
