    Yes, I would like to say that for the last two years trying to find a surgeon for my hernies and everyone at his staff and Cooper Hospital, they went out their way to help me to make sure that everything went correctly as far as my appointments, getting contact with my doctors, my primary. and faxing the paperwork over so they know what their hernies are and where they're located. And I am truly, truly appreciative. And may God continue to bless each and every one of them for doing a fantastic, fantastic job. I am grateful.

    Everyone I have dealt with at Cooper has been so compassionate and helpful!! I'm so used to having to jump through hoops to get an ounce of information and service at Summit Health/ NJ Urology, that this experience was truly remarkable! Thank you for showing me that there is indeed still good healthcare in America! My father was the actual patient, and he has dementia, and every single person he interacted with treated him as an adult, with respect, and not like a child, which happens so very often.

    Dr. Simons is professional, compassionate, knowledgeable, and simply the best. He explains everything thoroughly and in Laymans terms. I already have recommended him to everyone I know. His staff is always very friendly. But Dr. Simons is also very comforting. I've went into office a couple times in tears between pain and fear of surgery, and he set my mind at ease. He is the only surgeon I will have work on my stomach.
