    Dr. Chivati, In my opinion is dedicated to his calling as a professional physician in his field of care and service to me. He actually works in community with the various physicians on my chart with respect that together each doctor work as a "Team" of Cooper Physicians on my behalf as a single patient. He's naturally friendly, humble and very easy to talk too and don't mind answering questions. I might add that he is patient and kind at heart. I pray for him and thank God for appointing Chivate as my physical health expert.

    Dr Chivate was really great. My case is unusual and he worked to understand what was happening with the significant drop in my sodium level. Treatment plan was confirmed and I left. About 1+hr he called to tell me my sodium level was completed and actually was at the highest point,146, of normal. Treatment plan changed to respond to the dramatic upswing in sodium level. I will have the regular lab work as necessary. Dr Chivate was really great for the quick follow through.
