I would like to give a big shout-out to Dr. Michael Sabia and Dr. Jerrold Friedman between these two wonderful doctors I don’t know how I would have made it through these past four months without the attention of the care and helping me through all this pain and discomfort I been going through. -Donna W.
I want to thank all of the amazing Doctors at Cooper Pediatrics! For 13 years not only have they cared for my 3 children, but they have also taught me to be the nurse I am today! Their knowledge, compassion, and support made me the Peds nurse I am today. So thank you! ❤️-Danielle T.
I had two office visits with Dr. David Millili from the Department of Podiatry. I was extremely impressed with his bedside manner, extensive knowledge and the time he took to explain his findings. I have to say I was extremely impressed with the care of received. His suggestions have helped me tremendously. I found him to be extremely caring and again, I was so impressed with the care I received. -Jane G.
My Doctor is the best! He’s goes above and beyond to take care of you! He takes time with you in the treatment room! -Grateful Patient
I have been under the care of Dr. Samuel Giordano for a few years now. Any opportunity I get to recommend this doctor I do so whether it be a family member, friend or simply an acquaintance. Why? Because Dr. Giordano is one of the kindest doctors that I have ever encountered. Honestly, he is the best of the best. From my very first visit (a few years back) to my most recent (about a month ago) Dr. Giordano continues to be a very caring and compassionate doctor. He greets me, each and every time, with a huge smile and “how ya doing”. We sit and chat (non medical) and then we get down to the matter at hand. He listens with an open heart. He truly cares about my well being and more importantly I can feel that he cares! When I had a procedure performed by Dr. Giordano in the past, he and his staff and I had a nice laugh before hand (I won’t go in to details). He’s very lighthearted which is a gigantic plus. He explains medical issues and procedures in a manner that I can understand without me visiting Google after the fact. I have never, ever felt rushed when I have my appointment with Dr. Giordano, which is so refreshing and it makes me feel like a “someone” as opposed to a “person in a slot of time”. So for these reasons I would like to give a well deserved and huge shout out to Dr. Samuel Giordano. “Thank you Dr. Giordano for taking such good care of me! Please continue to do what you do. You are an awesome doctor with a heart of gold.” -Donna D.
I want to thank every single surgical trainee, particularly the General Surgery residents for their effort and dedication to the patients and their training programs! -Cathi C.
