Before I went to Dr. Cooper I had a hard time sleeping and after he took an angle grinder and fixed my meniscus, I could lay horizontal without pain.
By early 2025 my Right Hip was absolutely shot. I had initially tried The Public Hospital system to get surgery, but that was as expected a trail leading to the far distance. By this time I was basically crippled. So my local Doctor referred me to Geoff Cooper. Geoff pushed me through asap for surgery. Geoff and the surgery team were the best of the best, could never have asked for better any where. So a very big thank you to Geoff Cooper for giving me my life back, very much appreciated.
Great Doctor and the staff are very friendly and helpful
I'm extremely happy with my experience with Geoffrey Cooper. I liked his mannerisms and to the point of explanation of my prognosis. I have had a Total knee replacement on my left knee, and only have positive responses to the surgery, and after. Fantastic explanations. I need another total knee replacement for my right knee and I am very confident that this will be as good as the first one. A great team at Joondalup Hospital, and fantastic reception staff. Many thanks all I have now had the second Total knee replacement, and have recovered very well from this one too. Lots of hard work and rehabilitation, and hydrotherapy. I have great movement and no more pain. I have my life back again. Thank Geoff, and thankyou to your wonderful staff.
Geoff cooper first saw my 88 year old mother when she was at her lowest and worst due to chronic pain in her hip. This had all occurred very suddenly over the year. The first appointment mum was very anxious. He listened patiently to mum, and after an examination, he explained everything in layman's terms. He was extremely thorough and compassionate. His reception staff were fantastic and so supportive. Once a new Xray, etc was re-done. He operated within the month. Since that day, mum has had NO pain at all. Mum was very anxious and overwhelmed with it all proceeding so quickly. JHC ward staff were so kind and caring. Five weeks post op and Mum is nearly back to being independent again. Thank you Geoff Cooper for giving Mum her quality of life back. We will be forever grateful.
I was referred to Geoff Cooper with chronic hip pain and was put at ease straight away with his friendly manner, after viewing my xrays and examination he recommended hip replacement surgery, explaining the procedure and the types hip replacement implants used. After the surgery the pain the just disappeared. I was surprised how fast the recovery was within weeks you are getting back to your life. PAIN FREE Thank you Geoff and your lovely team
I wish to say how extremely happy I am with my total knee replacement . I was 89yrs 7 months old at the time & Geoff was amazing . Explained everything very well before & after & was caring, & considerate . Also his staff were fantastic. This was two years ago and it’s still terrific.Many many thanks
I met Mr Cooper 18 months ago when I was first referred to him for trouble with my right knee. It has been a long recovery process after having TTT surgery performed. But overall, the service I have received from him and his team has been second to none. I am now embarking on surgery on my left knee which Mr Cooper will be undertaking. Mr Cooper is definitely a no-nonsense Doctor who tells you what you need to hear without the technical terms that you can't understand. I have no issue in recommending him to other people who need surgery. One of the best surgeons in Perth if not the best.
I am glad that I was referred to Geoff Cooper. He is professional, kind, straightforward as to what I needed which was a total hip replacement. Although I was petrified I felt confident in him. Geoff and Mark the anaesthetist made me feel confident prior to going into surgery. At the follow up visits he was caring and explained recovery over the next few weeks. I highly recommend Dr Cooper.
I would like to thank Mr Cooper and his team for making my wifes TNR surgery as easy as possible for us.The whole thing was far easier than we thought it would be .Alan Cross
Dr Geoff Cooper was extremely thorough, thoughtful and professional, I can’t recommend him enough. My experience and outcome has been extremely positive. Office staff are also very welcoming and patient, thank you.
Mr Cooper recently carried out an arthroscopy on my left knee, tidying up my torn meniscus and scoping the OA. From the first consult, he was explanative, assuring, pleasant and understanding. I found his conduct to be one of ease yet professional. Totally comfortable with this surgeon. Highly recommended.
Dr Cooper has guided me through a total knee replacement in a professional, easy to understand and friendly manner. Apart from the actual procedure, after care has been second to none. His no nonsense manner ensured visits were informative and I felt that I played a part in all decisions. Thank you Dr Cooper and the support staff in this practice I will not be stressed about having a second TKR when the time comes.
Rude, arrogant abrupt, uncaring. Go elsewhere.
I really rate Dr Cooper. He's direct and what I'd call a wysiwyg. I warmed to him. He knows his stuff, explains procedures very well and has a terrific sense of humour. I'm happy that he's my surgeon of choice. I am really baffled with the negative reviews .
I'm not sure if I saw Dr Cooper on a bad day but I have never in my 54 years met such a rude, sarcastic, uncompassionate person in my life! I felt completed belittled by his rude answers to my questions. It's really very sad when you visit a Doctor whom is meant to be in a caring profession and you come out in floods of tears! I thank his wonderful reception staff Shirley Ann & Trish who went above and beyond to help me but I will never return to any follow up appointments.
I am a little startled at the negative comments, I had a very bad torn shoulder muscle. Mr. Cooper was friendly, knowledgeable and I felt comfortable with him. Yes, he does not mince his words but for me, he is the type of doctor I appreciate.
I definitely agree with all those 5 star reviews for Dr Geoff Cooper. I attended with a torn meniscus, and Dr Cooper was very caring and informed with his examination. Explaining clearly, what my problem was, and what he could do to fix it. I've had my surgery now, and my follow up appointment is today. I feel my doctor's choice of surgeon was a good one. Found out later he also replaced my aunt's hip, she was very happy with that outcome too.
Knee replacment. Extremely happy with the procedure and the result. Dr Cooper explains exactly what your options are.
Very disappointing experience with Mr Geoff Cooper during my consultation. I found him very unprofessional, confusing and a complete waste of my time and money.
DR Cooper saw me after months of shoulder pain He is fantastic with his approach towards your problems and my shoulder has been fantastic after he operated on it . Thank you
I found him the most arrogant and rude doctor I have ever met. He has no compassion for people . Would never go to him again or recommend him to anybody
Dr Cooper was just the type of person I was hoping to see. Very knowledgeable and explained my daughter's knee issues clearly and put our minds at ease. We now know what the issue is, how we can manage the symptoms, how to make improvements and what to do if things change. Very pleased.
I hold the opinion that if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all. Suffice it to say I would not recommend him at all. It comes to something when you’re more nervous about appointments with him than you are having the surgery. I suffer with anxiety and depression and on my appointment days my anxiety went into overdrive. He made me feel belittled and dishonest in his demeanour which is a shame because his reception staff are wonderful.
thanks to u Geoffery i know have some fath that both my knees will be good again
Not a problem with Geoff Cooper Straight to the point Blacks black Whites white no grey areas with him
I visited Mr Cooper on Wednesday 2nd May at his offices in Joondalup. I had chosen to visit Mr Cooper after doing some research and finding that he was trained in using the latest robotic technology which had been recently introduced to Perth. I am currently suffering from problem with my right knee and after having an MRI an X-ray done I had been informed by the doctor via my report that the cartilage had worn away at the back of my patella. Upon initially meeting with Mr Cooper, I found him to be confident and friendly I explained the background to my problem stating that I play sport at a high level and have done for the past 15 years, and my aim was to try and maintain playing at the level I am doing at the moment. I also explained that I had in fact had previous surgery 12 years ago on the same knee for an tibial osteotomy back in the UK. His response to this was “well we sometimes can’t continue to do what we want to do as we get older!” I found this remark to be sarcastic and that he wasn’t listening to what I was saying. He gave me a thorough examination which I thought was extremely good. We then started to discuss the problem in more depth and he was focussing more on the surgery I had 12 years ago, with him stating that he wouldn’t have done it that way and he would have done it this way, and that I would have been up and walking within 4-6 weeks unlike the 12 weeks I was completely off my feet for. I found him to come across as arrogant at this statement. He then stated that the knee was in good condition and I had no signs of arthritis, which started to confuse me further as my report from my MRI and X-ray stated that I have signs of Mild OA behind my patella. I then realised that he was only looking at the films and not the report that showed what the findings were on the films. He then began talking about having to do another Osteotomy to correct the alignment of my leg as the first one hadn’t worked. I was surprised to hear this as I hadn’t really had any pain in my knee for the last 11 years, other than when I was 6 months into the soccer season and doing 6 hours plus of soccer a week, which is understandable given the trauma my leg had been through and the fact I am 30. At this point I became very confused and asked the question of “so if we were to do this would that stop the pain I am getting behind my knee”. He then became very aggressive and arrogant by saying the following “You are not listening to what I am saying, and you have only picked out what you want to hear from what I have said to fit with what you want the end result to be” To say I was shocked at how I was spoken to was an understatement. I felt that my question was a question that any normal person would say, and to receive the response he gave left me feeling extremely upset, intimated at how dare I ask any questions. At this point I just remained quiet, feeling like I just wanted to get out of there. He then stated that I needed to go and get further xrays of both of my legs along with a CT scan and to come back as we had spent a lot of time discussing things and on the 2nd appointment he could discuss it further. He then stated that if I was his sister that he wouldn’t recommend for me to have the procedure mentioned and that I may be able to get an injection from him as an alternative option! I felt he was just trying to make as much money out of me as possible as I was none the wiser of a way of going forward then when I entered his office 10 minutes prior. I felt ripped off of paying the $200. Although Mr cooper came across as very knowledgeable I felt he had no bed side manner and was very confusing. I would not recommend him.
I saw Dr Geoff. Cooper in 2014 when I was experiencing acute pain in both knee joints, MRI scans showed that both knee joints had identical cartilage wear. He asked which knee I wanted replaced, I said that I wanted both done together, at first he refused but eventually relented. I have never looked back, at age eighty I still play badminton and take part in seniors exercise classes for an hour twice per week, importantly I have no knee joint pain. Dr Cooper has a very off putting manner, he is a man of few words and they are not always the words we want to hear but he is an excellent surgeon and I would recommend him to anyone considering knee joint replacement.
