Post surgery experience was a little rough. They sent me home with crutches that were too short for me. I believe they were children's crutches. In the future I would strongly advise them fitting crutches or necessary equipment pre-surgery for usage post surgery. They pretty much wheeled me out to the car handed the crutches to my husband along with the medicines and said good luck. It wasn't until we got home we realize the crutches would not work for me. Luckily we had a set at home that was given to us from a friend that I was able to use or I would've been in a pretty bad situation. The pre-op nurses and assistance were absolutely amazing.

Dr. Paul Cooper has been my foot care Doctor for the past 9 years. I have had 4 ankle revisions as the result of bone cysts. Dr. Cooper has always had a solution for each changing situation. I have the utmost confidence in his knowledge, surgical skills and care giving and would highly recommend Dr. Cooper to anyone with my similar ankle problems.
