I had a traumatic experience with Dr. Cooper during my pregnancy, which I hope no other mother has to endure. When I came to her with symptoms clearly indicative of preeclampsia, her main priority seemed to be pressuring me to get the Covid vaccine rather than addressing my immediate health concerns. My symptoms were ignored, leading to a placental abruption that nearly cost me my life and the life of my son.
As a result of her misdiagnosis, my son was born seven weeks early with a devastating Apgar score of 1, which in our case meant he had only a faint heartbeat, with no other signs of life. He spent a harrowing 32 days in the NICU, fighting for his life, something that could have been prevented if she had taken my symptoms seriously.
Even more upsetting, after this ordeal, she suggested that "maybe it was Covid," attempting to place blame on me rather than acknowledging her failure to diagnose my condition correctly. I cannot stress enough how important it is to have a doctor who listens, cares, and respects their patients' concerns, especially during pregnancy. I would strongly caution anyone seeking compassionate and thorough care to avoid this doctor. read more
