Testi "From the moment you walk into the waiting room you know this is like no other doctor visit. The staff is friendly, and kind, answering all questions without hesitation. Dr. Cooper's professionalism and sincerity when going over procedure options is unprecedented. I was allowed to ask questions and get answers. Because I have an extensive surgical history due to cancer as a teenager I had some concerns about having trouble with my implants in the future. Dr. Cooper researched my case and we both agreed I was at no additional risk. I also like that Dr. Cooper had a clear understanding of the look I wanted to achieve and did not encourage me to go any larger than what I wanted. I recommend her to anyone who asks, and compliment her on her staff of professionals."

Testi "I had a wonderful experience through my surgeries. I am a stay home mom and loved to work out at the gym, however as much as I would work out I could never get my stomach flat. My stomach muscles were torn from having three children. One day I was speaking with my neighbor and she had recommended Dr. Cooper, she had used her in the past and she loved her work. After talking it over with my husband I decided to go for a consultation and I new after that first visit that there was hope for my body. At my first visit I was ready to have the works done, but the one thing that I love about Dr. Cooper is that she is looking out for what is best for you and NOT HOW MUCH MONEY SHE CAN MAKE! So my first surgery I had a tummy tuck, and loved it. After having my tummy tuck I felt so much better about myself, you see it was never about what other people had thought it was how I felt about myself and all of my hard work at the gym.

Seeing a big change in me, my best friend went and had a tummy tuck. She also had a great experience with her surgery!

Even thought my stomach was my biggest problem, I also had trouble with my breast. I have always been a 38 c-d, but since I had children they were hanging to my toes! Still working out and my stomach looking great I am having to wear 2 to 3 sports bra's to keep me from having two black eyes. So I decided to go see Dr. Cooper. If I was going to have them done I wanted them to be perfect. Being I was already big, I had a reduction, a lift, then implants. (NOW I AM PERFECT). Dr. Cooper is very smart, caring and a beautiful woman (inside and outside). She listens to you as a person and does not see you as an experiment project. I have put all my trust in her several times and I have been very happy with my results. After having my tummy tuck and my breast redone my husband and I are very pleased on Dr. Cooper and her staff on making the both of us feel very happy. I tell people all the time, having surgery was the best thing I ever did! I still work out every day just because I love to eat!!

Having a tummy tuck made my stomach perfect but like everything else you still have to maintain and work at it. My breasts are wonderful!! Never thought that I would still be a 38 c-d and wear a top with out a bra and feel good about myself. The bottom line is that when you decide to have a surgery you need to do it for yourself and make sure you have a great doctor!!! In my eyes Dr. Cooper is a GREAT DOCTOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Testi "I consulted with several cosmetic surgeons before I found Dr. Cooper. Once meeting with Dr. Cooper and her staff I knew I didn't need to look any further. Dr. Cooper was very considerate and informative. My surgery went great. I couldn’t have asked for better results. If I consider cosmetic surgery in the future Dr. Cooper will definitely be my choice."

Testi "I have had three procedures with Dr. Cooper and absolutely love the results. Dr. Cooper truly cares about you as a person, she is extremely professional I would recommend her to anyone looking for a life change."

Testi "For many years I pondered the idea of breast augmentation but always talked myself out of it over and over again. I was so scared that I would regret it or feel like it would be a mistake, but the only mistake was that I didn't get it done sooner. It really has changed my life. It really has boosted my confidence level, enhanced my self-esteem, and made me feel more feminine than ever. Shopping for clothes, especially swimwear is actually fun now. I couldn't be more satisfied with my results. I love Dr. Cooper and her staff, they are the best!!!"

Testi "After searching for several months for the right surgeon, I found Dr. Cooper. From the moment I met her and her staff, I knew I had made the right decision. Dr. Cooper walked me through each step, before and after surgery. After talking to several other women who have had the same surgery, I soon realized just how great of a job Dr. Cooper did. During an appointment with my gynecologist, about four months after surgery, she praised Dr. Cooper's work. For any future cosmetic needs, I will chose to Dr. Cooper."

Testi "When I went to Dr Cooper, I was very nervous and afraid. I mean elective surgery is a big step. Not only did she make me feel at ease, I felt she was sincere. She didn't make me feel as thought I really needed the surgery. If anything, I walked out of there with more self confidence and that was before I actually had the surgery. She was there for me every step of the way, before and after. I have received so many compliments from the work she did. I have and will continue to recommend her to everyone."

Testi "My personality is not the type to do something so extravagant for myself, my giving is always for my family. With that being said, the results of my breast enhancement surgery were a tremendous surge in my self esteem. Even though my husband never said a negative word about my breasts, I always felt insecure during intimacy. My results have revived me in a way I did not think possible. My experience with Dr. Cooper and her staff was fantastic, and I have already recommended her to two of my friends, one has already had her surgery, and loves her results."
L.E.


Testi "After my surgery, follow-up visits at Dr. Cooper's office were pleasant and always very professional. Her staff took time to make me feel comfortable and relaxed at each appointment. Any problem I thought I might have was quickly attended to medically or emotionally. What I was most impressed with was Dr. Cooper's attention to every detail concerning MY surgery, also she called me personally to see how I was doing the day after my surgery. Thank you, Dr. Cooper!"

Testi "Can I start by saying that I am a very satisfied patient? I went in to speak to Dr Cooper after seeing the results of my daughter' surgery. I went to Dr. Cooper's office for an initial consultation and found her staff very friendly and very helpful. Dr. Cooper spent time with me and answered all my questions and even asked some of her own that I would not have thought of and helped me make the final decision for the type of surgery I was looking for. She gave me the pro's and con's and directed me to search the web and do research on my own before deciding. I am glad I made the decision that I did and found Dr. Cooper and her staff more than helpful before, during and after my surgery. I have recently had my first mammogram after having the breast augmentation done and the technician could not believe I had implants. She said as a professional she had seen many but that the doctor who had done mine did a remarkable job. I am now 51 & about 16 months post op and loving it."
