If I could give zero stars to this man I would! Went to see him years ago on the recommendation of a friend. Had three or four visits. One time I waited in the room for over 45 min. listening to him through the wall chit chatting with a friend. My appt. was at 2 and he finally graced me with his presence at 3:30.
As my primary care I told him on several occasions that I was not sleeping well. He concurred with the previous doctor that a relaxation pill would do best. Lorazepam? It did nothing for me and I just stopped taking it. I told him I thought that I had Sleep Apnea on several occasions. My husband had said that he thought I stopped breathing in the night and sometimes gasped for air. I even woke up mid night with what I thought were anxiety attacks. I had always thought that apnea was the problem and asked Dr. Cooper to request a sleep study. Dr. Cooper's response was, and I quote "Sleep studies are very expensive and very difficult to get. There is a lot of paperwork involved and I am just not willing to do all that, as most of the time it gets rejected. I don't want to waste my time. I can tell by looking at you that you don't have apnea." Well five years later and another doctor, I described all my symptoms and the doctor said "Have you ever thought you might have Sleep Apnea!" I couldn't believe it! I told her the story and she laughed and said "I'll be happy to do the paperwork. I want you to feel better!" Lo and behold I have been suffering for 12 years of Sleep Apnea! 12 years of feeling exhausted all the time, gaining weight, anxiety and depression because nothing would make me feel better! I am a new person with my c-pap!
Do I sound angry? That is because I AM!
Thanks Dr. Cooper. Great job caring for your patient! Sorry that I was such an inconvenience? I hope you sleep well at night {insert sarcasm here}. I have my life back! No thanks to you! read more
