Dr. Cooper was extremely informative and had a very easy, comforting and favorable bedside manner. She seemed extremely intelligent and well informed. She went through every single MRI image with me and explained my pre-diagnosis, plan and all options with me thoroughly. I really liked her and am very happy to go forward with her as my doctor.
