I am so happy I chose Dr Cooper as my surgeon. My husband and I were very impressed with his competency as soon as we met him. He has a great bedside manner as he is calm, attentive to answering all questions and concerns, and he explains everything clearly. I felt very confident with him, and he and his team did not disappoint. I had been very fearful about having surgery, however, I went through it rather easily and experienced very little pain, only needing extra-strength Tylenol for a few days. I was also able to leave the hospital a few hours after I recovered. He and his team followed up with me over the next few days, and I was encouraged to call with any questions. I highly recommend Dr Cooper to anyone needing hip surgery.

Amazing doctor and very happy with the recovery.I would feel very comfortable recommending him and I have already and will continue to do so.He takes his time w his patients and the team he has assembled is great. Highly recommend 😀

Cannot express my gratitude enough to amazing Dr. Cooper who did total left hip replacement for my mom two months ago. It was an emergency situation and Dr. Cooper went above and beyond fitting her surgery in his already busy schedule. The level of care and professionalism we experienced with Dr. Cooper and his team is unparalleled. We are very happy with the outcome of the surgery and feel blessed we trusted Dr. Cooper 💯 percent every step of the way.Dr. Cooper is a brilliant and extremely experienced physician with compassionate heart and terrific bed side manners. His calm presence, humble confidence, and professionalism put us at ease creating the best possible healing environment.Thank you Dr. Cooper and CPMC Ortho team!The level of care you provide to your patients is truly unmatched!

I have heard Dr. Cooper lecture and read his research in journals. He is a game-changer in the field of Orthopedics. One of only a few in the NYC area I would trust with my family’s orthopedic care.

Not only was the level of care extraordinary as my injuries involved multiple fractures which required surgical revision of my hip the degree of follow up and responsiveness to my needs post surgery were text book - no concern of mine was not immediately addressed and throughly explained to my satisfaction. My excellent recovery is truly a tribute to his talents.

Doctor Cooper has been a fantastic physician and “Sherpa” through the unavoidably awful experience of breaking my ankle. In our first interaction I found him immediately accessible , willing to indulge my questions with meaningful answers, patience and good humor.On one occasion I had trouble making it my appointment exactly on time, due to the difficulty of getting around with a healing injury (and a touch of poor planning on my part) Doctor Cooper was extremely understanding and accommodating oh this, seeing me even though I was well over a reasonable amount of time that a busy doctors office should be deferring an appointment.He helped me understand what I had to do to make sure my surgery wounds would continue to heal properly in a pragmatic and friendly manner.And the surgery itself, breaking all three bones of the ankle and each requiring hardware of its own to heal and become better was executed rather perfectly. I’m sitting here about seven weeks later with phones they’re completely healed and solid and strong.

I am so happy. I was so impressed I was able to walk the very first day after my hip replacement. I suffered for years and after a week I was already back to work. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr. Cooper and his entire team. From one to ten, I give him 11 and 10 stars!!!!

Dr. Cooper and his team are wonderful! Couldn’t ask for better! Thank you!

Dr. H John Cooper is an incredible surgeon! I was born with narrow hip sockets. I had Anterior Left Hip Replacement at the end of Oct 2020 and recovered so quickly. In only 2 months I can do just about anything now (except running is put on hold). Dr. Cooper is brilliant, attentive, and has a terrific bed side manner. He listened to my questions and concerns. He added length to my left side and I now walk evenly, without pain. I am on the younger side for Hip Surgery and Dr. Cooper made my incision inconspicuous by my bikini line. I LOVE my new hip. Thank you Dr. Cooper!

I deeply appreciate the accomplishments of Dr. Cooper and his team. Simply stated-They have restored me to my full and active life. And while I am in awe of their masterful professionalism and skill, it is their compassion and warm sense of humanity which will stay with me for a lifetime. Thank you for restoring my optimism. Thank you for my new hip.Whatever else 2020 throws my way-I can meet the challenge standing and walking, as I have throughout all my years. Priceless!

That is a picture of me(on right) after climbing Manchu Picchu Peru.Thank to Dr Cooper and my two new hips,I was up and walking without crutches in less that a week.Thank you Dr Cooper

Im 14 years old and had end-stage arthritis in my right hip which caused constant pain every single day. There was no more cartilage left, so it was just bone rubbing on bone. My Mom took me to visit Dr. Cooper to schedule a total hip replacement. I thank God almighty because going to him was the best decision ever made. Dr. Cooper was kindhearted, friendly, compassionate, polite, and explained the procedure well enough for us to understand what was going to happen. I have a high level of respect for him. He and his team made no rush and took their time to ensure everything was done properly. Its been two weeks since the operation and my recovery is going great so far. Soon Ill be able to walk normal again, pain free. God bless you Dr. Cooper! 💖

I found all of the people who work for Dr. Cooper to be very competent and professional. I can say the same about Dr. Cooper. I had total hip replacement surgery and I am no longer feeling any pain in the hip and can climb stairs like I did when I was 25 years old.

I gratefully give the highest possible outstanding in excellence award to Dr. Cooper and his incredible team! Down to every last detail, Dr. Copper and his team absolutely exceeded all expectations and provided the highest quality service I have ever experienced. Besides being extremely efficient, Dr. Coopers team is caring, warm, kind and a delight to work with. Dr. Cooper, besides being highly educated and extremely experienced is by far one the most humble and caring people I have met. I am truly beyond honored and grateful to have been one of his patients and If I need the other hip replaced, there is absolutely no question who will be performing the surgery!

Dear reader . My name is Dr. Barry Brahver . Last Dec 7th , I had a second hip replacement done by John Cooper MD . The previous surgery was done 2 1/2 years ago by Dr. Cooper with great results. I am an avid tennis player , a swimmer , and a bike rider , and 3 month after the first surgery, I was playing tennis 3-4 times a week , and then every day . I also walk 5-8 miles a day . I was pain free , and I was able to compete , and win many matches. Dr . Cooper is a superb surgeon , and in addition he is the nicest person . He took his time to answer every question I had , and the results are Fantastic . Now , 8 weeks post op , I am progressing nicely, and I am looking forward to resume playing tennis in one month .. I spoke to other surgeons who know him well and he got the highest praises as a surgeon,and as a physician. I highly recommend Dr John Cooper . Sincerely. Barry Brahver .

Three years ago, I had a Full Knee Replacement procedure [of the right knee] performed by Dr. Cooper at CUMC. The entire experience was a great success. I havent had any complications whatsoever, have virtually no scar and have been able to walk, hike mountain trails and take long bicycles rides without effort ever since. It changed my life dramatically, after many years of suffering. I have Dr. Cooper and his incredible staff to thank for that.I now have a slight issue with my other knee and was due for an annual visit, so I made an appointment for a date within a week. Surprisingly quick. Phone support was efficient and, within minutes of hanging up, I received an email confirming my visit and and it was entered into the My Chart app with check-in paperwork immediately available.On the morning of my appointment I received a call from the Intake staff to make sure my diagnostic x-ray was timed well, prior to my seeing Dr. Cooper later that day. I was very impressed with that level of follow-up.On arriving at Dr. Coopers office, Intake staff were incredibly helpful, pleasant and efficient. They made sure my chart was completely accurate and up-to-date. I saw other patients receiving the same level of care.The Intake Nurse was awesome during the initial review of systems and taking vitals. She was very friendly, thoughtful. listened well and answered questions I had. She was also very careful about patient ID verification and made sure to ID the correct leg before Dr. Cooperbegan his examination.Dr. Cooper gave me more than adequate time to explain the reasons for my visit. He listened carefully, asked insightful questions and offered me an understandable assessment along with several possible approaches to resolving the symptoms I was experiencing with my left knee. He also confirmed that my previous knee replacement was still rock solid!After agreeing to a solution Dr. Copper offered, I received immediate treatment in an immaculately clean exam room that was comfortable. A day after my treatment, my knee feels so much better, thats such a relief.I have great confidence in Dr. Cooper. He looks you in the eyes as hes listening, then he always addresses each concern and explains things thoroughly, following through to a resolution you have a choice in making.Its collaborative.Dr, Copper has a fantastic support team who all possess exemplary skills, are great listeners and offer understanding and empathy throughout the appointment.It would be wrong not to mention how safe the environment felt in this time of Covid-19. I had no concern or fear of exposure during my visit. All CUMC Entry staff wore protective equipment, my temperature was taken and I answered the standard COVID-19 questions regarding travel, exposure or feeling any symptoms. The elevators have clear floor marking for proper social distancing. There are Purell dispensers at many points of entry.The Waiting Area had every safety measure in place and was working well. It was comfortable, clean and there were clear markings on seats to ensure proper distancing. Every staff member wore appropriate protective covering and the rooms were spotless.I cant recommend Dr. Cooper and his team highly enough. On a scale of 1 to 5, Id give a rating of 6.

My dad suddenly developed avascular necrosis of the right hip this spring. His disease progressed very quickly and was barely able walk without pain. Dr. Cooper and his team saw my dad and arranged for total hip replacement within 10 days. His team is very organized and nice. They went through preparation, surgery, and physical rehabilitation very thoroughly. The surgery was very smooth and quick. Within two days, my dad was able to walk easily. In two weeks, my dad has returned to normal and pain free. Thnaks so much, Dr. Cooper and his team!

I am 55 years old and have been athletic my entire life. The last 2 years of my life I have been debilitated with pain. When I was told I needed a bi lateral hip replacement I was nervous as expected. I literally spent months researching the various procedures and consulting numerous surgeons. Time and time again Dr Coopers name came up. After meeting with him and later consulting directly with him via phone to assure me and answer any questions and concerns that I had, I finally scheduled surgery, and had both hips replaced at the same time. It was the best decision I could have ever made. My surgery went perfect. I was up walking with a walker hours after surgery. Within days I was walking with a cane, and basically no pain. In 9 days I was walking unassisted and feeling great. I am currently 5 weeks from surgery and I need to remind myself that I had surgery. I am back at the gym and enjoying life with my family.Coincidentally, when my 85 year old father (with a heart condition) needed his right hip replaced 4 weeks after my surgery, there was no question who I was bringing him too. Prior to surgery he was basically unable to walk, within 2 weeks he is mobile, has very little discomfort and is already looking to get rid of his cane.I am typically a critical person by nature and expect a certain level of professionalism. This experience surpassed any expectation I could have imagined. I honestly feel blessed to have had my surgery done by Dr. Cooper. In roughly 2 short hours, he gave me back my life, pain free. If you need a hip replacement, dont think of it as a negative.... when you have Dr. Cooper perform your surgery, it is a new lease on life. I would not allow anyone I know to ever go to anyone else. Dr. Cooper is the best.

I had gone to another specialist for a year and he kept telling me to “come back in 3 months”. With the pain in my knee getting more severe I was told about Dr Cooper. With in one visit I was given more xray’s to assess my knee and told “this is fixable”. I can repair this. I am walking better than I ever have. Very little pain after surgery. Excellent staff. Very kind and caring. Dr Cooper himself calling me at home to make sure I was doing okay. GREAT SURGEON.

This August, my grandmother (70 years old) had a bilateral knee replacement surgery with Dr. Herbert Cooper, and she had a fantastic experience with him and his team. Dr. Cooper was extremely professional, polite, and caring, and made her feel secure and at ease. Though this was a risky surgery for my grandmas age, it went incredibly smoothly, and the recovery was very quick and painless. She stopped taking painkillers 2.5 months after the procedure, and both of her knees healed phenomenally. My grandmother is walking very comfortably now, her legs are straight, and her scars have recovered very well. We are all very grateful to Dr. Cooper and his team of anesthesiologists, as well as everyone at the NY Presbyterian at Columbia University: the nurses, the physical therapists, the staff, and everyone else who was involved in helping my grandma get back on her feet. Thank you all for your expertise, professionalism, dedication, hard work, and care!

Dr Cooper is smart, easy to deal with and did a great job with my surgery. His particular anterior approach technique allowed me to have a faster and easier recovery than my previous hip surgery (performed elsewhere) and Im so happy! His staff was responsive and knowledgeable. I would recommend him to any of my friends and family. And I could get an appointment with him in a timely manner, to boot.

Miracles do happen at my age--91, ,but it takes this incredible surgeon and his great team to perform my total hip replacement after over a year of increasingly intolerable pain. Low key, listening, compassionate and understanding. I am now totally pain free with more energy than I have had in years. And that smile ! Are there any stars above 5 ?? As someone else said This man walks on water !!!

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Cooper. The takeaway of my review is this: Dr. Cooper is a rarity in the world of doctors and specifically orthopedics -- not only is he an excellent physician/surgeon and the only person I would trust with my health and body, but he is also an incredible human being with a comforting and kind bedside manner. If you want more detail, please keep reading: I was unfortunately in a horrific accident where slipped and fell on black ice, and cracked the head off my femur and broke my left hip. I was alone and scared, and taken to the ER for emergency surgery. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to have Dr. Cooper as my surgeon that day. Not only did he go out of his way to talk to me as I was being wheeled into the operating room to assure me he would take good care of me, but he also went above and beyond by calling my mom before and after the surgery to let her know that I was in good hands and that I was going to be okay, and to come meet me at the hospital to be there when I woke up from the operation. He saved my life that day (literally), and then continued to check on me and treat me holistically when we saw that my case was further complicated by a rare bone disease that was not allowing me to heal. It has been quite the unanticipated journey over the past 5+ years since I met Dr. Cooper, and each step of the way, he has continued to exemplify excellence on every level and has demonstrated that he is someone who improves the lives of everyone he touches - whether it be his patients or the members of his wonderful team (his nurse Christina is also absolutely amazing)! Dr. Cooper compassionate, patient, responsive, thorough and thoughtful. And while he is obviously busy, he never makes you feel rushed or dismissed. He is a great listener who not only makes the process a dialogue, but also makes his patients feel heard and validated. He genuinely cares about and is invested in his patients well being and has their best interest at heart. He is a true rare and previous gem in the world of orthopedics - he is an amazing doctor, an outstanding human being, and has a comforting bedside manner. He treats you like family and I hope he never retires (selfishly). I trust him implicitly and explicitly and wish I could give him 10 out of 5 stars if I could. Dr .Cooper is the best of the best and I hope whoever reads this is lucky enough to have him as their doctor as well - there is no one better!

Dr. Cooper is an excellent doctor who answered all of my questions on my way to knee replacement. He made me feel confident with my decision to move forward with surgery. Both he and his staff were knowledgeable and helpful to me before and after surgery. At nine weeks I am doing great and know I chose the right doctor.

Beyond perfect. Smooth , United, thoroughly impeccable teamwork . I searched for a long time to find the perfect doctor and Dr. Cooper is the one!

Dr. Cooper and his staff are absolutely wonderful. They are very professional and courteous whether on the phone or at the office. I had Dr. Cooper replace both my left and right knee within the past two years and I feel about 15 years younger and my mobility has increased dramatically. His procedures are none that I have ever seen before. Even my visiting nurse and physical therapists haven’t seen these new and improved medical devices he uses. I would strongly recommend Dr. Cooper for your knee or hip replacements. Thank you very much for taking care of me!

Dr. Cooper provided me with excellent information going in to hip surgery. I had a very good outcome, a quick recovery and only a small scar. It is less than 2 months and I am almost back to normal. Dr. Cooper is thoughtful and has a generous outlook on the bodys ability to heal itself.

Dr. Cooper did my bilateral knee replacement. All I can say is I’m so glad I trusted him with the surgery. After 6 weeks, I’m happy to say that everything is going very well. I am almost back to normal and am so grateful for his incredible talent. Thank you, Dr. Cooper and for everyone who assists you. You are all amazing!For those of you who are looking for an Excellent Orthopaedic Surgeon....look no further.....you have found him!

Hip replacement surgery in September 2019. Dr. Cooper is excellent, caring and a rock star in Orthopedic Surgery. Dr. Cooper listens well and carefully explained to me what to expect. NY Presbyterian was also awesome.

I came to Dr. Cooper while recovering from a staff infection in my left artificial knee. I could not be happier with the treatment I received which included two surgeries, one to remove the knee while antibiotics killed the infection and the other to replace the knee that had been removed. It was difficult surgery that doctors at HSS refused to undertake, notwithstanding that the infection was raging at the time. He was a life saver and always professional, sympathetic and kind. I would recommend him without any hesitation whatsoever.

They say it starts at the top... and they are absolutely correct. Dr. H John Cooper is a rock star. But more than being an exceptionally gifted and brilliant surgeon, he is genuine, authentic, candid, professional, informative, kind... and has assembled a staff of wonderful people who exhibit all of these wonderful qualities, from the medical to the administrative and clerical.

I am completely pain free and fully mobile, maybe for the first time in years after my total hip replacement. I think this man walks on water, and the other reviewer is correct he has a great smile. He never pushed me to have the surgery, although, now I wish he had. His most impressive skill however is listening. He heard me when I said no Oxy, but I had such an amazing recovery that I wouldnt have taken it anyway. My total experience at Columbia Prebyterian was fabulous! Dr. Coopers team was outstanding as was every one else I encountered from nurses, PT, OT professionals down to the cleaning staff. I am a very happy customer!

I drive 6.5 hours each way to see Dr Cooper. When doctors in my hometown of Buffalo NY couldn’t fix my replaced hip from dislocating and had no idea what to do next, I found Dr Cooper. He looked at my X-rays and within mins saw the problem, scheduled surgery and I have been doing great since! He’s a God send and worth the drive to see him! Highly recommend!

Ive had an incredible recovery from a total right hip replacement thanks to the surgical skills of Dr. H. John Cooper. I could not possibly overstate how impressed I was with both Dr. Cooper and his entire staff. I came to Dr. Cooper in October, 2015, after a violent fall in May of that year. I was 1st diagnosed with a right inguinal hernia, which was repaired in July, then an August MRI showed what appeared to be a fracture of the femur. Dr. Cooper explained that it wasnt a basic fracture, but instead damage to the top of the femur connecting to the hip joint and a full right hip replacement would be needed. Dr. Coopers surgical assistant, Natalie Perez, was extremely professional, patient and kind, making the preparation for this procedure very smooth. My post-surgery recovery has been nothing short of remarkable. I was released from the hospital the following day, havent taken a pain killer since being released and was walking unaided within 10 days. I could drive within 8 days and could walk up & down stairs reciprocally after just 11 days! I did assiduously follow Dr. Coopers advice to constantly walk on it, ice the area to reduce the initial swelling and continuously weight bear on the new joint. The dissolvable sutures had virtually disappeared within 3 weeks. I was extremely fortunate to have connected with Dr. Cooper. There is NO ONE I could recommend more highly than Dr. H. John Cooper!

Went to Dr Cooper and he performed a total Left Hip replacement in April. No regrets. Very genuine and professional as well as his staff/nurse. Everything went great before, during and after my surgery.

My name Irene Brignolo and Dr cooper performed hip surgery and it was a great success . I was scared for no reason but I am walking with no limp and feeling better but still recovering . hes the best in good hands ..

A superb surgeon, and a very nice guy!!I thank him for all his experience, compassion and a great smile!!Thanks you Dr.Cooper!! Great job!!

Could not have been better as an Rn mayself everything 1000 percent will refer to anyone with orth problem needing surgery

He didnt help me. Didnt notice that i had been using cane on the wrong side after seeing me four times. Promised to meet with me and explain, but did not. I guess he had no good answers. Merry Christmas!

I had a broken Femur in October. My Dr Called Dr. Cooper to meet me at the hospital. He was wonderful. Each appointment he has been kind and wonderful to me. I have been able to walk for the past two months, and Dr. Cooper is responsible.

Friendly, knowledgeable, professionalGreat experience
