When I got stuck the woman at the desk helped me out.
After that I was seen quickly and taken for X-rays. Then About half hour wait to see the doctor in exam. He was pfofessional, friendly, relaxing..
Didn’t rush. Answered all my questions.
Definitely a positive medical experience

I found everyone to be very pleasant, efficient, knowledgeable, and kind. I was pleasantly surprised that I was called in to see the Dr. at my exact scheduled appointment time! This doesn't happen very often, in my experience. All in all, I was very pleased with my visit, and would highly recommend Dr. Cooney and the practice.

Dr. Michael Cooney is a caring, calm, and extremely informative physician who takes his time to explain the intricacies of the procedures of anterior hip replacement.
Seeing him was a pleasure.
December 19, 2017Laurence M.Verified patient
Professional but I did not like the fact that I had to wait almost 1 hour to see the doctor. I arrived 15 minutes early to fill out forms and be on time. After filling out electronic forms, the computers went down. Therefore a good part of the appointment was spent with the P.A. asking me introductory questions that took up even more time. My time is valuable....having to wait an hour to see a doctor wreaks havoc with my schedule. It is inconsiderate to make people wait so long. Doctors aren't the only people who are busy. Patients are too.

great!

January 17, 2017Gregory F.Verified patient
This was my first appointment so the wait was longer. I did not like the electronic on-line check-in. It was very confusing and then the nurse asked the same questions.
February 1, 2017Sara G.Verified patient
Dr. Cooney has a great reputation and this is why I have chosen him in particular for my knee surgery... and he is a lefty!
The smartest most creative people on the planet are left-handed.
The office is the only downside - as it is so busy and apparently overbooked that one has to dedicate at least 3 hours of time in order to be seen.
January 13, 2017Giovanna P.Verified patient
He is worth waiting for.
December 19, 2016Teresita I.Verified patient
Dr made wait worth while. I wasn't rushed once with Dr and he took the time to explain and showed me on the MRI what he saw.
December 6, 2016Katherine C.Verified patient
Dr. Cooney spends as much time as you need to feel comfortable and to completely understand the procedure. Waiting a little is ok because you know his is giving others the same attention that you will get also. My knee is better than new. thanks.
August 23, 2016Scott S.Verified patient
Dr. Cooney has performed orthopedic surgery on me three times.
I would never allow anyone else to operate orthopedic surgery on me. Only Dr. Cooney. I think he is the "Best of the Best" in surgery
as well as followup care. Today's appt. did not involve surgical
care but a new problem which he addressed as always with the best of care.
June 30, 2016Carole B.Verified patient
Prompt and friendly.
February 8, 2016John H.Verified patient
Long wait time was due to after-Christmas rush of (mostly) kids who got injured on their new hover boards who were sent in from the hospital.
I would recommend not making an appointment for the week after Christmas.

Very impressed with his expertise with knee surgeries, also very helpful with his recommendations about PT, and suggestions about other future procedures.
Dr. Was recommended by our Personal Doctor.

Dr. Cooney was very thorough and diagnosed and is treating my condition. Very pleased with the facility, staff and of course Dr. Cooney!
May 18, 2015Laurence O.Verified patient
I found Dr. Cooney to be professional and courteous. My only negative would be that he was in and out, and I did not get to ask questions, of course that being said I am not sure that I knew what to ask. I realize too that he had been called away for an emergency and had just returned and was trying to catch up. If I need to go again I as the patient will be better informed. I liked Dr. Cooney.
