    My previous critique was for Optum as a corporate entity and NOT my provider

    Dr Cooper said that someone would call me back within the next couple of hours to tell me more about a specific treatment possibility, and no one has called me at all. Records were good, however. He was able to remind me of a part of my visit history from a long time ago.

    Dr. Cooper was efficient, thorough, and informative as he assessed my problem, while also remaining fully engaged with me as a patient. He was a good listener, and explained each step of the diagnosis as well as implications and next steps.
