I have some other experiences to compare this one to. It was so refreshing to be treated with a white-glove approach. I felt special, seen, included and important. I cannot say the same about my experiences with neurology at Penn, Jefferson or Virtua's resources. Cooper is my jam - and I am grateful for being treated so superbly.

Wasted 8 hours of my time. This nonsense of seeing P A before you see the doctor is bullshit. 3 hours of travel each time plus arriving 15 min. Early . And then not being with the original PA that you explained everything to. And the doctor never looked at any thing the PA recorded....I give the alleged dr. A big 0 and that's a high rating

Dr Yocom is the best!! He removed a large tumor from my spinal cord and saved my legs!! He has always treated me as important with empathy, care, compassion, confidence (very impt), experience, and integrity. His staff are excellent as well! As I speak about him I find he is so well known and highly respected in his field! Where's his commercial and kudos!! So many people I talk to have great things to say about him!! Thank you so much for Dr Yocom!! !
