Dr. Cooper is all that I would hope from a rheumatologist--curious, supportive, careful, never condescending, eager to get to the bottom of my issues while finding the most and safest relief for my symptoms. So smart and compassionate, I am very happy with the care I receive from her and the team.

Dr Cooper studied my large file before meeting with me--very impressive. She was very knowledgeable and recommended a medication for my problem. Definitely thorough.

Dr. Cooper was very concerned for me and my issues. She explained thoroughly my options. I had questions about the portal diagnosis and Dr. Cooper had her Nurse call and address all my concerns as the language describing my knee issue was unfamiliar to me. [redacted] It relieved my mind. I could make better informed decision of what I could do next. A VERY BIG THANK YOU TO DR. COOPER AND NURSE [redacted]!

She worked very hard to identify the source of my problem. Although unable to determine a definitive source (arthritis? inflammation? auto-immune), over the course of nearly a year we managed to alleviate the majority of the symptoms, but not 100%. [redacted]

I found Dr. Cooper to "be" in the moment. She didn't rush the appt, she treated me as though I - and my concerns - mattered. Her answers were thoughtful and if she wasn't familiar with something she didn't guess. She even remembered something I said 6 months ago, which I didn't remember!

She is absolutely wonderful. I love that she makes eye contact, knows who I am as she asks about my family I feel like she truly knows her patients.

2026-08-05
-
Although I don't question her expertise, her listening skills were inadequate and her affect was flat. Her inability to connect and hear my concerns resulted in me leaving pretty upset and overwhelmed. I'm sure she had no idea about this because she shut down anything but "just the facts" and dismissed any concerns I began to express about her recommendations. I am guessing she cares about patients (?) but it doesn't come across at all. [redacted]

Saskia Cooper and her office are the most caring and wonderful people that I work with and especially that we even have a rheumatologist, but she, a rheumatologist with humor, a rheumatologist who's wonderful with how she manipulates your body and also already a very good science and very, very, she's very well educated and has obviously has a lot of experience. But I just love Dr. Cooper and I can't believe I actually have a fabulous rheumatologist because there's hardly any around.

Dr. Cooper has been my perhaps fifth or sixth rheumatologist in about almost 40 years of having rheumatoid arthritis and Dr. Cooper is the best rheumatologist I've had in all these years. She's to the point. She's caring. She's empathetic and she gives me information on new treatments and I have total 100% confidence in her care. I think she's the best I have ever had in nearly 40 years.
