"Dr. Cooper is excellent. He is very slow and laid back, but don't let that fool you. He is very knowledgeable and a highly skilled surgeon. He listens to everything you have to say and makes sure all your questions are answered. He has a very gentle bedside manner. His staff is great and takes care of any concerns you may have. They report all problems immediately to Dr. Cooper and are great about returning phone calls. Dr. Cooper is adamant that WLS is a tool and only a tool for weight loss. While it is a very powerful tool, you have to be educated and willing to use it. It is not an automatic cure for obesity.
Post operatively, he makes sure that you are recieving antiemetics around the clock, and explained that nausea is the stomach's way of letting you know that you are in pain and to take pain medication when you are feeling nauseated. He is an excellent all around surgeon."
