I've seen Dr. Cooper since 2002. He usually sees me immediately when I enter the building..being that within 5 minutes. Dr. Cooper always has been right on the money as far as knowing what was wrong, and even found something that two other doctors had missed prior. I didn't realize I had asthma; after treatment with an inhaler, life is completely better for me. Dr. Cooper also helped against a local corporate giant in that I was being blackballed for medical discharge from the company, and Dr. Cooper stood up for me and helped prove that the company was lying. I completely gained respect for Dr. Cooper for standing up to this corporate giant, despite gaining nothing from me, nor any media attention. Lately, he's been a pillar in my recovery in dealing with personal issues that have caused some medical problems collaterally. He's a great man, and definitely has honor. I've yet to see anything negative as the other posters claim. In my 30+ visits (altogether with other family visits,) nothing has ever been of detriment in any treatment or service rendered. Dr. Cooper has gone above and beyond at least twice for me, in helping during after hours. I, at this point, feel the staff, of which I have no knowledge, shouldn't have a reflection upon Dr. Cooper in that captioned by this logic: If you are at Wal-mart, for example, and a cashier gives marginal service, it doesn't mean that their manager, nor Wal-mart itself, is bad. Dr Cooper's minions' behavior, as explained in the other posts - if accurate - needs to be brought to his attention outright. A doctor cannot know of his staff's attitude if not informed, personally.

While the office may be his to run as he sees fit, I do believe the powers that be set up guidelines and a degree doesn't justify a drug pusher. I have no personal knowledge of this physician but anyone that would make such a retarded statement as such needs to be a little more education in what a medical degree will/willnot allow. The title MD or DO doesn't give freedom to drug the world. While this may or maynot be the case here, the DEA does regulate.
Based on opinion? It sounds like the patient above is stating what was based on her experience as both patient and observing family member. I would tag that experience as well as observation. Opinions would be the insane Wal-Mart comment as well as 'man of honor'. Of course, this is my 'opinion'. Than again, isn't this board about sharing experience and opinion?
Is this Dr. a surgeon???
Just to add an additional comment to this obviously 'intense' discussion.....
I too loved Dr. Cooper when he practiced elsewhere. Once he moved to his new office, he changed. I had heard through the hospital rumor mill that he was having some personal problems, so, I gave him the benefit of the doubt. Things only got worse. He gave me what sounds like his standard cocktail, antidepressants and xanax. I was completely over medicated and miserable. When I complained of stomach pain, he told me I was bi-polar. Needless to say, I'm not bi-polar and actually went to a MEC doctor to find out I needed surgery!!!! not more medication!!
Anyway, physicians do make mistakes. And people deserve to know about the good and the bad...and then form their own opinion. I don't know about any other staff issues, and do know the 'original' staff. My opinion is based solely on my experience. My family and I have moved on and have continued to hear negative things about this physician.
Best of luck in your search.
I was a patient of Dr. Cooper's for many years. I once thought he was a wonderful doctor. Fortunately I woke up. Since finding a new doctor, my health has been great. I was so overmedicated by Cooper that my health was getting worse. My husband and daughter were also overmedicated. Has he put you on antidepressants and Xanax? Those are his favorites. Comparing his office of 3-5 employees to Wal-Mart ( thousands of employees) is ridiculous. Before I left I heard numerous complaints regarding his new staff. He knows what is going on. It was his decision to replace the former staff. I have spoken to one of the former staff and what he did to them was not something a man of 'honor' would do. Maybe I was not behind the scenes, but I can tell you that the former staff was amazing. They were truly caring and I could count on them. The new staff is rude and act like they don't have time to care. His decisions regarding his business ARE a true reflection of the kind of person he really is. All I have left to say to you and any other patient of Cooper's is--BE CAREFUL.
