| I knew of the hospital's excellent reputation, so when I chose Dr. Slotman who is affiliated with Cooper, I was just thrilled. |

Cooper has one of the best hospital reputations in the state of NJ. |
| Comments: |
My overall stay at Cooper was wonderful, with the exception of a few NA's and housekeepers everyone was fabulous. |

I had no problems at this hospital. It was rather busy after my surgery, so it took awhile for me to get a room. |

| Wanted to go to Cooper Hospital because they have a trama center there and thought if anything happened that would be the place to be. |
| Competitors: |
Other hospitals in the area I believe are not that equiped and I know of several people who have had bad surgical experiences in them. |
| Comments: |
Everyone at Cooper was very good to me except a couple of the day temp nurses who did not get me out of bed when I requested. If it wasn't for this one RN named Sue (God Bless her) who came on at 7pm. I don't know what I would have done. You can bet I'm going to send her something for taking care of me especially since I got my monthly friend right before surgery. It seemed that the other nurses wanted me to fend for myself in the bed and bathroom. I could not really move or take care of my needs too well. |

| Competitors: |
Treatment is professional. You feel comfortable knowing that Cooper has a renowned trauma center. They can handle any complications you might have. |
| Comments: |
Many patients fail to consider the nursing staff when choosing a surgeon/hospital for their WLS. The nursing staff can make or break your recovery. I was lucky to be cared for by a young lady named Audrey for her shift of three 12-hour days. Do not underestimate the power of one nurse. |

| My surgeon is associated with Cooper Medical...but it is a very well known and respected hospital in the area. |
| Competitors: |
It is a much bigger hospital than any local hospitals in my area. I felt very safe there. Very well known for being able to handle any major problems. |
| Comments: |
I felt the staff took execellent around the clock care of me. I had two minor issues...Once with the food they gave me (not the correct diet) and when I left they didn't sign my perscription for the pain med. (That sucked!) It was all taken care of. |

| I chose Cooper because of past experiences there. I searched for a Cooper doctor for my bypass and was happy to learn of Dr. Slotman. I have long felt that Cooper is the best hospital in the southern NJ area. |
| Competitors: |
It all came down to a matter of trust, this was the only local hospital that I was comfortable having this major of a procedure at. |
| Comments: |
I had an excellent experience at Cooper. My surgery went without a hitch which is the most important thing, but the kind, responsive care that I received from the floor staff made my stay as pleasant as possible. |
