    I liked Dr. Shi, but more importantly, I believe she can help me with my problem. The doctor explained everything thoroughly, and was easy to understand.I just hope she can help me, as my problem has defeated several doctors in the past, including two at the Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia.

    About Cooper: I was getting care at a different, large scale facility prior to transitioning over to Cooper. From when I first called, it was a wonderful experience. I didn't wait on hold for hours like my previous facility and everyone I spoke to on the phone was incredibly pleasant. I had my appointment squared away as a new patient in less than 15 minutes, which was amazing! I was also able to get in with a movement specialist quickly, despite the typically long wait for specialists. I am also a healthcare provider, so my schedule makes it even more difficult to get in but despite all of that, I was able to get in at my preferred availability in 2 weeks. When I arrived at Cooper for my appointment, the facility itself is gorgeous/well kept with plenty of parking. The check in and check out team were so incredibly friendly and welcoming that it blew me out of the water and made me feel like I was in the right place for my care. About Dr. Shi: I couldn't be happier that I came in to see her. She gave me more care and attention in one visit than my previous doctors had given me in the past year. She was incredibly thorough with everything she went through all of my previous scans/appointment notes/labs, her testing was thorough, but most importantly, she listened to me. I felt like I was actually being seen and heard during my appointment. I also felt that she was fully present and not rushing to the next appointment. She was able to figure out what was going on where my past doctors couldn't. I truly couldn't recommend her enough.

    I'm not sure who the nurse was that checked me into Dr. Xi's office, but she was incredibly polite and very precise with what she had to say. Dr. Xi did not make me wait long. She was in the room within three minutes. She is a thorough physician, a top-rated physician. in my opinion. She's very professional and she provided me with everything that I needed.
