The survey that you send out and ask all these questions, I only met the guy, the doctor, for about 15 minutes, so to get a complete understanding of how he's going to treat me is very hard, but within the 15 minutes, he was fine. I think you should wait until after other appointments to ask all these questions.

I have to say I've had some bad experiences with other Cooper employees and doctors, but I have to say with Dr. Caruso and the employees at this office are extremely professional courteous, and always willing to help if you have a problem or just a stupid question they don't make you feel stupid. They're always willing to help no matter what I enjoy going to this office. I also work for a doctor and I know what it's like to not feel comfortable in a doctors office. It starts with the front desk people if you're not comfortable with them, you will not be comfortable with the doctor.
